He was meh in that BC game I happened to be at that one. When will our first look at him be in camp?Holy Cross lost 17-14 to Army. Sluka had 37 carries for 171 yards & 16-23 for 156 yards (Army destroyed AF 23-3). Army finished the season 6-6
Holy Cross lost 31-28 to Boston College. Sluka had 18 carries for 135 yards & 10-15 for 130 yards (Boston College beat 22 ranked SMU in the bowl game 23-14). Boston college also beat Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Army Virginia, etc.). Boston College finished the season 7-6.
Based on the above games, he showed he can be competitive with mid level programs at the upper level that are similar to the MWC teams without the skilled players to back him up that will be available at UNLV.

I'm guessing the Utah Tech game is our only game not on a regular network?
It is interesting that UNLV, Boise State and Hawaii are the only teams not playing on the TNT network. Says a lot about the popularity of UNLV football this coming year!
Yeah they don’t make boxers like they used to.Speaking of boxing brawlers; I would have loved to have seen prime Rios and Provodnikov fight. Both those guys used to eat shovels to the face. All that would have mattered is who could stay standing longer.
I'd like to see Reno ranked 6th... in the MAC.Oh so sweetness Reno is last!
To me, it is wild the drop off after 1-4. I think it's a decent fall off from 3 to 4, but in my opinion CSU is so far from 3rd in conference this season, they aren't even in the conversation.Love when there aren’t built in excuses for failure, when slow build isn’t in the vocabulary. Get down to business from day one and do all you can … respect.

A freshman...one thing I was encouraged by was as bad as he was in that first half of KU he did improve dramatically in the second. I think this year we would have seen a lot of those mistakes decrease.I definitely think he has upside and would have been more comfortable with him staying vs Sluka and Taj. If for no other reason than known commodity. Although I think Sluka should he win the job fits the offense better because he puts pressure on the defense with his legs. LBs are going to have to stay home more vs dropping into coverage. That could open passing lanes...That's my hope at least.
My biggest concern with Maiava was the mistakes he got away with vs lesser competition, he got punished for vs SJSU/Boise/Kansas. And he kept making them. Some of that is opponents scheming and having tape on him. But it is also fair to say he was...Stubborn? Not absorbing coaching? I don't know.
Guess we will see... I'd feel we'd be in that Top 25/Top G5 conversation that we're just outside of if he's coming back under center with all the talent that is around the QB...that's basically why Fresno is getting talked about more than is and I think Fresno is over rated
What is the general consensus on here re: Maiava; he is not a good QB, he isnt good enough to play at USC regardless of who he is competing with, or Miller Moss is straight up better than him?
Should be interesting!Honestly I don't follow USC so I don't care, but I heard there's a possibility coming out of spring... so much so you could even bet on him for Heisman supposedly
The keep getting bigger and bigger. Even UNLV has 14 players on the offensive line over 300 pounds as well as another half dozen just under 300 pounds, but the heaviest player on the UNLV OL is 340 pounds.Great Wall of Georgia gets bigger: Average size of UGA's incoming offensive linemen is 6-foot-7, 340 pounds
Georgia's focus on the offensive line of scrimmage has keyed its unparalleled recent success and the 2024 Class, which belatedly added a 6-foot-10 player Monday, is further proofwww.cbssports.com
I don't know about general consensus, but I think Maiava is a superb G5 starting QB, and probably a pretty good P4 starting QB. He doesn't have +arm or +athleticism, but he does see the field well and throws a catchable ball. If he can clean up the freshman errors like forcing, ball security and falling in love with his 1st read he might end up winning the starting job at USC. But you're not paying 7 figures in NiL to let Ju-Ju Lewis sit next year--so unless he proves to be a revelation in the B1G, he's probably going to be transferring again next season. Just my 2 cents.What is the general consensus on here re: Maiava
The signed Ju-Ju Lewis for 25 who is by most services that #1 or #2 overall QB in the country. They aren't going to try and over-recruit himthey are going to recruit over him after this year as they are USC.
For UNLV he was a good QB, but his overall play at UNLV most likely lost some games for UNLV that they could have won with a better QB, and USC across the board tends to have more talented players.I believe this year is going to be his only shot there. If he can't make his mark in 24, I can see him transferring again. Reality is, they are going to recruit over him after this year as they are USC. I am rooting for him at USC but not especially confident it will work out. He has talent, maybe it will.
