It’s no secret that the Mountain West is having its worst year in quite some time. But why has the 2022 season been so disappointing? We take a look at that in today’s post.
A lack of good quarterbacks.
It has collectively been an awful year for Mountain West quarterbacks. Let’s run through the list of players who entered the season as the starting QB on every MWC team.
Haaziq Daniels: He has played very well but gets overlooked due to being a triple-option QB
Hank Bachmeier: He was ineffective and then transferred
Clay Millen: He was ineffective and then got injured
Jake Haener: He was having a good season and then got injured
Joey Yellen: He did not get off to a good start and was replaced by Brayden Schager
Shane Illingworth: He won a QB battle but has been largely ineffective and has split time with another QB
Miles Kendrick: Similarly, he won the job and hasn’t inspired enough confidence to keep it.
