Recently, he saw that another school has kids get the kicking tee after kickoffs. I'll forward your suggestion on to our marketing staff and see if it's something that we may do in future years. The Cal announcers keep mentioning that Kyle Boller needs to put more air under the ball so the receivers can run under it as it comes down, or that he needs to take something off the ball for certain types of passes where touch is more important that velocity. It doesn't take many additional complete passes to make a huge difference in offensive productivity, both in passing and running to move the ball. Our quarterbacks coach Steve Hagen works with our QBs, including Kyle, daily on the mechanics of playing quarterback and throwing the football.
Some passes require a bullet-type throw, others require much more touch.
Finding the right throw for the right situation is the mark of a good quarterback. I think you'll find as Kyle gets more experience and feels more comfortable in the pocket, he'll make more of those throws. I believe it's more of a comfort level thing than anything he's doing mechanically. He'll continue to get better and better in that area. The team really performed well throughout the entire game.
