Time for Fresno State QB switch? DeRuyter likes what both Virgil, Kline offer

The statistics show it may be time for a quarterback change at Fresno State.

Chason Virgil sports the third worst completion percentage in the nation at 48.6 percent.

His passing efficiency isn’t much better, ranking 103rd among Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks and last in the Mountain West at 112.4.

Even visually, it almost looks as though Virgil is uncomfortable – often rushing out of the pocket, at times unnecessarily, passing off his back foot and launching wobbly throws here and there.

But the big-picture theory suggests it’s probably beneficial for the Bulldogs (1-5, 0-2) to stick with the redshirt freshman, especially since Virgil’s primary backup, Zach Kline, is a senior.
