POB took over for an injured starter with the Rams reeling a few weeks ago. All he's done is be really good. Happy the kid landed on his feet. Maybe he wasn't near mobile enough for Frost's offense, but his passing would look pretty damn good right about now. Happy the kid landed on his feet and got a shot. He's making the most of it right now.
Over his last three starts, all CSU wins, the redshirt junior and former Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback has more or less been the anti-Steven Montez: five touchdown tosses, one pick, 65 completions on 103 attempts (.631) while averaging 325.3 passing yards per tilt.
“I’m trying to put the wide receiver in the best position to make a play afterward,” noted O’Brien, who completed 17 of 27 throws for 234 yards Saturday in a 37-17 stomping of UNLV at Canvas Stadium. “If they’re able to get open and I make the throw, and we’re able to get the first down, that’s what we need to do.”
The Rams (4-5, 3-2 Mountain West) don’t need O’Brien to be great. But they do need him to catchable. Calm, cool and catchable.
