That's what Oregon St. head coach Gary Andersen says there has been in the quarterback battle between Marcus McMaryion and Seth Collins. Andersen did add that both are stepping up, which is good, though his other comments about the offense continuing to struggle with consistency and execution were less so.
"We're not getting the performance from the rest of the group they (the quarterbacks) need," (to reach their potential) Andersen explained.
Defenses are generally ahead of offenses at this stage of camps, but based on the struggles we saw in last Saturday's scrimmage and Andersen's recent comments, its apparent the more experienced (other than at quarterback) offense is either struggling more than anticipated with the change to an up-tempo, no huddle approach, or the defense that returns only 2 starters may not be in as bad a shape as that statistic suggests.
