Barker had 28 yards lost. In other words, he had 187 gross yards.

Are we going to take away the yards credited on scrambles when he was trying to pass. You cant have it both ways. He carried the ball a ton and his average per carry was average at best. Give the kid credit for being a workhorse and tuff but still learning. He has potential to be a great QB. He is only a sophomore and deserves alot of credit but the hype has been over the top.

Yes, that is what happens when a QB is tacked behind the line of scrimmage attempting to pass. See this excerpt from the NCAA Statistician Manual, Section 3, Article 3 - Any loss by a player apparently intending to pass, but downed behind the line of scrimmage, is recorded as “Loss by Rushing.” He is not a passer until he has thrown the ball, since he retains at all times the option of running.

I noticed you refer to a NCAA Manual. It that calculation method used for both high school and college?

The last thing we need is another ukfan ......

However .... He needs to be objective because the athlete in question is a sophomore.

Plenty of time for things to turn out good or bad.

 

I thought on here it depended on what school you go to whether or not to be objective. Not knocking you at all, will bring this up in time.

Good catch...he was actually 9 of 22 for 83 yards.

 

Sounds like "Conner" really needs to work on there passing game. Is it the QB or the recievers or both?

Without knowing the play calls and if the receivers ran the routes correctly I'd say most of the misses in this game were on Drew. Conner threw over the top much more this game and he was too strong on the throws. His arm strength came into handy on some of the 10 to 15 yard dig/slant routes. He threw at least one on a 4th down where it was probably a safer play to run the ball. He threw some under pressure that fell incomplete. He missed one or two others with nothing else than a bad throw. My guess is the deep balls will get better with more attempts and instruction (ie put a little air under it). There were no drops by receivers that I recall.

That is also correct. High school (at least KY does) uses the NCAA guidelines for stats. NFL is different, of course. A sack of a QB trying to pass counts against his passing yardage in the pros.
