Cruz made good throws during the event and did a good job fitting the ball into tight windows. He did a good job pressing downfield and taking the underneath option to get a new set of downs. He’s a signal caller who likes to take big shots. Seeing him take what the defense gives him has been nice to see the maturation and playing for the next down and snap.

Christensen did a good job of keeping the offense ahead of the chains and maintaining a rhythem on offense. He did well at getting the ball to his playmakers and piecing together the offense and making them a cohesive unit. He did a good job of keeping the ball out of danger for most of the evening. He’s auditioning for the job next year and has done nothing wrong thus far.

Christensen gets another spot start, and he has done well this offseason in 7’s events, and he opened the season in fine fashion. He was decisive, operated within the system, and got the ball to his playmakers. He proved to be a valuable distributor. He has another tough task at hand, this time with an aggressive Orem defense. If he continues to place the ball well like he did last week, he should have another good week. He’s likely auditioning to be the guy next year, and from what we’ve seen, he’s someone who is more than capable of operating an offense and knowing where to go with the ball.
