Tape like this shows the flaw in McCracken’s ranking. McCracken the quarterback chewed up the intermediate/short areas of the field, taking whatever Red Lion gave him. Love his decisiveness, catching the snap, reading his key defender, and firing off a catchable ball, all done with confidence. This is a senior who’s seasoned enough to run the offense the way it’s supposed to be run. Plenty of hitches, slants, swings, curls hit promptly, accurately too. As much as I love splash plays, I love seeing a quarterback do the easy things well. That being said, McCracken also took some quarterback keepers to the house while also accumulating substantial yards on the ground throughout the game. Throw in quality reps from his linebacker position too. Complete, all-around performance put on by the senior leader.
