Huntley for his senior year is a luxury you want to have. Shelley will want to play though and may deserve it who knows. Hate to be the Utah coaching staff has a tough deal. Shelley is different he is just so calm in the pocket. Poised is what I think when I watch his escapes. Huntley’s are just scary at times the ball is way out away from his body and his long limbs are all over. But they work!
Shelley played great, but he got away with a few errant passes that were almost picked off. Huntley is still better. It’s nice to know we are in good shape at the QB position for next year, though.
Before the game I made a comment that I didn’t think Shelley could pass at a D1 leve. Yeah, I was wrong. I think Huntley is more physically gifted, and Shelley has a better insticts for the position.
If “winning out” means a win against Colorado, BYU, Wazzu/Washington in the PAC-12 championship game (assuming ASU loses one more), and Ohio State/Big Ten in the Rose Bowl then I’d give him a chance.
Liked Shelley over Huntley since spring. Huntley needs to move to WR, he’s not a QB at the next level. Shelley had some bad plays but show me a 3* RS Freshman facing a team like Oregon that doesn’t have issues.
If we plan to use QB’s as part of our running attack (which I’m sure we will) then we’ll probably need both Huntley & Shelley next year. It’s tough to keep a running QB healthy for 12-13 games.
