Tuatagaloa is a dual-threat quarterback, and he’ll need to use his legs to keep plays and drives alive. Corner Canyon has done a good job of bringing and applying pressure from different angles and at different positions. With pressure coming from anywhere and everywhere, Tuatagaloa will need to navigate the pocket and extend plays with his legs and will need to deliver the ball to his playmakers. If he can keep his team ahead of the chains and extend drives, Fremont will go a long way to not only keeping the game close but also trying to pull off another upset.

Tuatagaloa will be leaned on this week as Davis will be coming from all angles defensively. Tuatagaloa did a good job of creating chaos with his legs last week, and that allowed him to find passing lanes as backers had to come up to stop the run. Should Davis stack the box, he’ll showcase his arm talent and will need to beat them deep to make Davis respect the pass and not put 8 in a box.

Tuatagaloa is a lefty who showcases good pocket maneuverability and awareness to keep plays alive and still keeping his eyes up to find an open receiver. He makes great off-platform throws and gets good accuracy and depth without needing to have his feet set. Tuatagaloa does a good job of directing where he wants his receivers to go and bides additional time to allow his receiver to work to that new area. He does a good job getting to his second and third reads, and with his off-script savviness; it allows big plays to happen as defenses have to cover for an extensive amount of time. Tuatagaloa throws a good deep ball and gets good air under it for his receiver to run under it. He places his throws safely and where his receivers can make a play on the ball and has a nice touch. Tuatagaloa is a dual threat option who will scramble to not only extend plays but to pick up chunk yards on the ground. He creates a lot of stress on defenses with his arms and legs. His creativity and adaptability along with his size, makes him a fun signal caller to watch.
