We have a serious quarterback depth problem

Wow.  I'm not trying to pile on the guy but the people who have been trying to say "Bunch had an OK game" really don't know what was actually going on.

3rd quarter, 4:44 to play, we run a zone read look.  I have no idea what the play was supposed to be but there is a HUGE hole right where Washington was headed.  Instead Bunch pulls the ball and pass sets like he's looking for a receiver.  But the receivers are all blocking.  Bunch seems to finally figure out his mistake and pulls the ball down.  He starts to run left where there is a little bit of room but then seems to realize that the play was supposed to go to the right where Washington was headed so he cuts back that direction.  There is so much of a hole there that he is still able to get three yards but I don't see anyone who was going to tackle Washington if he gives it to him initially.

Played decent should be revised to threw the ball decently well because Frost scheduled him some easy completions. He was decidedly awful running zone read. Plays like that make it hard to say the line played terrible. It could have looked better if we execute plays correctly.

Ha!  I was thinking the same thing before the play.

Where were the teammates to help him out?!?!?!

Great question. You would think Bell or a lineman would have fixed it for him, but that must just be a consequence of tempo, they didn't have enought time!

Bunch didn’t have a good day by any stretch of the imagination.  Remember he’s a third string walk on who was starting his first college game in a new system.  Considering all of that, we shouldn’t be surprised.  He learn from this and will improve and we hopefully will get AM back soon.  I still think six wins is doable.  

 
What's the ceiling for a 5.5 ranked (Rivals) recruit with this asstounding list of offers?

Yeah, we need Martinez back but I still only want him back if he is at 100%.

Seriously, I’m sure knowing we have 4 guys lined up will give fans a lot more patience.

The first down play is just as hard to watch as the INT.

Yep. Bunch should have recognized the Blitz before the snap. On the interception he missed a wide open Stanley Morgan and forced a throw into coverage instead.   Experience will help with those things.  These sorts of things happened all game and can’t be minimized when evaluating why we are 0-2.
