KAY - Tremendous Year

I realize that we’re all bitter and upset right now, but I’d like to temper some of the anger with some flowers for one of the all-time great single season performances by any Griz quarterback in history. Keali'i set several Griz records this year for passing.

Some of these records should probably be listed with an *, as playoff statistics didn’t count up until 2001, but here’s what he did this year (an * shows position if playoff statistics from earlier years are counted):

1. Highest season completion percentage of any Griz quarterback in history. This one is a record even including Dave’s tremendous season in 1995 (69.07%). KAY hit 69.15% of his passes, breaking Craig Ochs' official record percentage set in 2004.

2. Most passes and completions in one season. (* 3rd?)

3. Second highest season passing yardage total, with 4070 yards. (* 3rd)

… and he’s just getting started!

Passes, completions, and passing yardage also leads the FCS this year.

Now it’s up to the staff to find more and better receivers and a tougher offensive line so KAY can cook for the next two years.

He was great this year! Huge swing and miss by me, because I honestly didn’t see it coming. Even through the first two or so games, I was questioning. I think the cool thing is he got noticeably better before our eyes as the season went on and became elite by the end. We’re in great hands even if he gets no better than he already is (unlikely).

I worry the transfer portal might hit this team hard.

He definitely has the reads and check downs figured out. Last year he was staring receivers down. What we need next year is a 6'4" possession type receiver on the outside for him.
 
KAY was off the charts as a sophomore. Griz need to improve the offensive line and this team will be much improved. I like Matan A LOT. He has DOLA.
