86798, Fresno State vs. Nevada
Posted by will_5198, Wed Nov-17-10 06:29 PM
OLB Chris Carter, Fresno State (6'2, 240) -- Playing out of position as an end. He got some decent pressure at times, but lacks that explosive first step to turn offensive tackles. Nevada ran a lot of zone read, so he often didn't have a play to make, but still whiffed on Kaepernick a couple times despite having an angle.

QB Colin Kaepernick, Nevada (6'6, 225) -- Excellent height, running threat (pulled away from linebackers; split safeties) and has room to add a lot muscle. Good arm and very relaxed in the pocket, maybe too much so at times (he can forget to use his lower body when throwing).

His accuracy has shot up a ton this season and should continue to improve as he refines his mechanics. He does tend to stare down targets: His interception at the goal-line was a pretty bad play, and he couldn't look off the corner when trying to hit a smash route against cover two zone. Overall, I see a guy with the frame and arm to play in the NFL, along with the bonus of mobility and a track record of improvement year-to-year. Good prospect to groom if you already have a starter in place.

OLB Dontay Moch, Nevada (6'1, 245) -- His 40 times would make Bud Foster proud (4.19, hilarious!) but for a hybrid player at the college level, I like him much more as a stand-up linebacker. A little tentative in coverage ("...must run to that exact spot on the field...") but looks the part when he's strictly chasing and mauling people. Limited, size-wise, with his hand down although he makes the most of his athleticism. Between the two, he seemed more like a NFL linebacker than Carter.
