re: Mathis is going to start

It was a spot route and it was on Burton more so than Mathis.

Ok fine, both freshman screwed this one up. But lets not forget Fitzpatrick was wide open on the same play.

Other very bad mistakes
Running out of bounds instead of getting the first down. Not undestanding on 3rd down to go the sticks when the defender wasn't close to him. He had the first and stepped out a yard early.

More mistakes - Completely missing a hike that hit his hands. Looked unfocused at times. I know Hill had some rough hikes but this one was on him.

He also took a sack on 3rd down.

The play calling didn't help him. We should have tried to get the running game going and put him in more manageable situations because he was in 3rd and long on a bunch of his drives but with that said - He did play poorly.

Im all for giving him another shot because he did look better on his last two drives and seemed to be settled in.
