Full disclosure: Mid way through last season, and all the way up to about a week or so before this season, I wanted KT to start.
Before the season started, and through most of fall camp, there was little to no separation between the two. Travis was bad for the first couple weeks of camp, and was just as inaccurate, if not more, than KT was. Thompson was completing more passes and was in general just moving the offense better. Then something clicked with Travis. I have no idea what it was, but it happened. Then he came out and looked very impressive in his first 5 1/2 quarters of football. Regardless of what the stats show, Travis has a better command of the offense, and honestly looks like he’s playing with more confidence than KT, which is a far cry from last year.
Long story short, yes there is a clear separation between TW and KT, and the Fresno State game cemented that. Not that KT was bad against Fresno, though it did look like it at times he really wasn’t, but I just think Travis has stepped up his game so much from last season. With a healthy Travis, I’m a lot more optimistic about beating Oregon than I am with KT.
