I was thinking more about the Texas game. When tOSU needed a pass, they brought in the other QB and moved TP over. I don't think that approach works long term.

Amen. Masoli could pass before he got here but had to adjust to the level of play as the season wore on. During the Fiesta, Pryor was being subbed by a guy who could throw down field passes.

Does Pryor have potential? Yes.
Does Pryor have poor passing mechanics? Yes.
Does Masoli have potential? Yes.
Does Masoli have poor mechanics? No, but sometimes he makes errant decisions off of his back foot. Masoli throws better looking deep balls than anyone since Akili. His lack of height is his only major liability, but it makes him a pretty tough runner too and potentially less prone to injury in our system.

Was there something inadequate about Masoli setting the rushing record by an Oregon QB? Hell, if Masoli had more guys who could catch the football rather than making some routine passes look like the ball was greased, his passing stats would have been better in every game he played save for the Civil War.

I'd rather have Masoli than Pryor because Masoli wanted to be a Duck.
