Herbstreit Discusses Modern QB Problems
Kirk Herbstreit broke down the growing challenges of developing young quarterbacks, saying modern college offenses have become “smoke and mirrors,” making it hard to judge a player’s mental football maturity. He praised Mac Jones’ processing and poise, noting Kyle Shanahan has maximized his strengths, while Arch Manning’s struggles will pay off long-term. Herbstreit called Penn State’s firing of James Franklin “understandable” if the locker room was lost and said Indiana’s upset over Oregon was the biggest win of the year.
