You must be at the practices all the time. Good for you. Alviti is our second string qb and he deserves to play with open play book.

Well since he never passes the ball when he does get in it should tell you something. He can't

It is only in situations like this when I sometimes get mild Harbaugh envy. He would've kept his first team in, run a trick play with Peppers for the TD, and then gone for the two point conversion.

No reason to keep the first strings in and potentially risk injuries but allowing second strings to play to their capacity will be nice.

Jeez poor Boiler fans. We did not bring our best game, spotted them 10, and still waltzed away. Just not enough talent at PU right now.

What?! He only does what he is told to do. Let him pass!

Come on man is it that hard to understand When he gets into game pass plays never get called. Why do you think that is. Common sense should tell you it's because hes not good at it. Hopefully Clayton never gets hurt because the back up can't pass the football

Back to the game Offense played outstanding couple forced balls by Clayton but if he keeps spreading ball around like today he could put up huge numbers over the next couple years

What's w/ the ragging on players before a half is even over (calling out a bad play is perfectly fine)?

Overall, the 'Cats ended up playing pretty well, albeit against a not very talented PU team that lost any semblance of depth on the defensive side due to injuries.

Thorson has his best game in terms of passing yards, but overall, was not a particularly impressive effort.

Aside from the 2 picks,Thorson was just off on way too many passes (if he had hit the receiver in stride, would have had gone for more yds, including another TD for Carr).

Certainly don't expect a QB to have perfect placement on every pass - esp. if there is pressure, but Thorson had good protection for most of the game (he, himself, stated that he only felt pressure a couple of times), so like to see better placement on more of the passes.

CT faced more pressure in the Horseshoe and yet had a better game when it came to accuracy.
