look we’re not rewriting history here, and the only way you have an issue with this is if you’re looking for one.
quinn ewers, notoriously poor at moving the chains, driving the field, amd scoring touchdowns, did not play well for the four quarters of football where he was tasked with doing just that. at the end of regulation, everyone not named quinn or bert had played well enough to win the game. those two no-shows were the reason we didn’t win going away.
then, in OT, when we get spotted the ball at the opponents 25 yard line and sark can more or less dial up his TD plays, quinn completed a couple of basic pitch-and-catch throws and made his final stat line look much better than it otherwise would have.
again, that’s just facts. you might not like these facts, but that’s what went down. if you’re going to exasperatedly cite QE having a 3 TD day as an indicator that he played well, then it’s more than fair to add some context as to how and why it was 3 TD day, and not a 1 TD/1 int/should-have-been-two-or-three-int day where we barely scraped by the inarguably inferior asu on a chip shot fg as time expired.
