A little early to be taking the Khalil Tate route already.His current stat line is:
3/10 for 50 yards, 1 pick and -10 rushing.
Who … not sure I recognize the nameHis current stat line is:
3/10 for 50 yards, 1 pick and -10 rushing.
With 1:06 in the 3rd, 19/35 for 193, a TD and 3 INTs. 2 runs for -25. And they’re down 8.
I'm glad he's no longer our problem. Biggest sin of a QB is unpredictability and De Laura has been all over the place tonight. Running around the backfield without a plan and heaving the ball down field. Some of those attempts have worked but it's also lead to a couple self sacks and a few picks. If he were able to simply have a plan when he rolls out Arizona is probably ahead.50% passer with 3 picks. That is a shitty night.

Street ball qb.
Can you imagine an old school coach like Woody, Bo, Walden or even Saban dealing with JdL?
His backup came in for the last drive. That kid has some talent and will probably be starting by the time we play them in November.
The NLI deal looks to be a ripoff at this point. Denny's may want their money back.50% passer with 3 picks. That is a shitty night.
I can’t imagine any d-1 coaches from that era having the patience for his nonsense no matter what his potential.Can you imagine an old school coach like Woody, Bo, Walden or even Saban dealing with JdL?
He wouldn't be a 50% passer in Leach's system. If he saw the field it would be because he was capable of running the AR.They wouldn’t. How long would Leach leave a 50% passer on the field? 1 quarter? Maybe 2?
I doubt we'll ever know, but I posited that exact same scenario when explaining it to my wife last night.Does anyone know the real back story or reason why de Laura left?
My theory was first....JDL made bad choices ~ off field issues, (DUI).
Second, JDL and Dickert just didn't mix cohesivly, (oil and water), and as a result, wasn't a good fit for what coach is trying to build here.
Anyone?
Yeah I’m curious about this too. Chicken or egg? Did JDL know they were looking at Morris/Ward or did he already have one foot out the door before any of that materialized.I doubt we'll ever know, but I posited that exact same scenario when explaining it to my wife last night.
Leach was a mix of player's coach and disciplinarian.
Rolo was 100% players coach.
CJD is a disciplinarian.
JdL was not long for CJD's team, especially after his legal issue, and I don't personally believe it was that big of a secret. I'm not sure how the Zona thing was initiated, but no doubt he was making handshakes over Xmas break and intentionally jaked the bowl game.
Excellent answer. Plus, when you grow up in Hawaii, and November hits in Pullberg... Pima/Maracopa County feels more like home. But, the real reason is what you stated, above.I doubt we'll ever know, but I posited that exact same scenario when explaining it to my wife last night.

Didn't he get NIL $$? Would he have gotten anywhere close to what he received at UA if he stayed in Pullman? Doubtful.Excellent answer. Plus, when you grow up in Hawaii, and November hits in Pullberg... Pima/Maracopa County feels more like home. But, the real reason is what you stated, above.
Interesting what the die hard Wildcat fans think now. Week 1, JdL looked great. Today, not so good, and they're sitting at 1-1, with a huge conference schedule ahead of them.
I often wondered, why would JdL transfer to Arizona, where they were 1-11 last year? Cupboards bare, basketball school.
JMO, but I don't think de Laura would have made it through the first season under Leach. As soon as he missed a meeting, f'ed around in practice, didn't show up for class....I doubt we'll ever know, but I posited that exact same scenario when explaining it to my wife last night.

Maybe, maybe not.JMO, but I don't think de Laura would have made it through the first season under Leach. As soon as he missed a meeting, f'ed around in practice, didn't show up for class....
You get the picture.
Is that the real story? Didn't show 🤔 up for the second half as well.JMO, but I don't think de Laura would have made it through the first season under Leach. As soon as he missed a meeting, f'ed around in practice, didn't show up for class....

Wonder where Gunner Cruz is on the dept chartAfter they beat down SDSU, I was a little more concerned about our game there in November.
Who knows if JDL will still be the starter, but I am confident now our d line can wreck havoc on their o line.
