That Nov 1 game in Laramie looks a bit better for us, but Garrettson is good as well
I think Garretson is very underrated. USU run game is so so. Losing their best defensive player in Fackrell hurt a lot. Losing Keeton is even worse.
That said, let's not forget that Garretson was 6-2 last year. Close game with Boise State. Loss by 7 to Fresno State and a bowl win over a good Northern Illinois team. The guy doesn't lack experience. Garretson could start at most MWC schools currently. He was going to transfer because of Keeton, but stuck around.
Garretson is not a Keeton type QB at all, but he does have a good arm. He got better every game last year. By the time Nov 7 comes around, he will be on things. The biggest issue for USU is their O line. Keeton had to run for his life. Garretson cant run for his life as much as Keeton.
