Idaho State @ UC Davis I really just struggle with this narrative around Pinnick considering that he beat out the other qbs in training camp, is a redshirt freshman during a potential "rebuild" year due to injuries or new players and has still continued to protect the ball quite well through the games so far, and stack up yardage. We also have scored impressive numbers of points in each of our games so far (including the ISU game last weekend). While I agree at times he held the ball longer than he should, we are also used to Hastings who's whole thing was these short-medium range quick shots. I am not going to blame our defense totally with how many injuries we have, but in the last game it was more of a problem of them giving up points and special teams struggling than it is worth placing blame on Pinnick.
