Ciarrocca broke down the Fresno game in this interview. He had quite a few comments about Morgan. He’s absolutely right about his performance on 3rd down and in two minute situations. We can all come up with a lengthy list, off the top of our heads, of QBs who regularly fill up the box score, but don’t come through in these situations.

HOW YOU FEELING ABOUT QB TANNER MORGAN FOLLOWING THE FRESNO?
Ciarrocca: "I thought he played better and showed improvement again this week. He's progressing. It's part of the maturation process of a quarterback. And you never know how good somebody can be, but you usually can tell once they've reached their ceiling. And as long as he keeps improving. we're excited. I'm excited about it. Like I said before last week when somebody asked me about his ceiling, you just want to see him keep improving. And growing from his experiences.
I thought he was for the second week in a row, I thought he was very much in control out there in the game. Did he do everything perfectly? No, you know, but he did a lot of things. Especially on third down he was he was really good again, for the second week in a row on third down. It's just one of the measuring sticks that I look at a quarterback, how is he on third down? What's he like in the tight green zone? How is he in the two minute drill? Those are things that you're measuring quarterbacks on and that's what separates a guy with who's just average from good, and good to great. So he's improving."
WHAT DID YOU SEE ON TANNER'S THROW TO AUTMAN-BELL?
Ciarrocca: "It was a great throw and catch. It had to be perfect, and it was perfect. That's awesome. I'm not going to say what I said in the booth, but it was a big time play. The thing that was great about it was whether we complete it or not, was that Tanner was very relaxed. He believed in himself, he believed in the throw, and was fully committed to the throw.
There was no hesitation in it. He got it up and down at exactly the right time, which is difficult to make that throw with that field space. It's difficult because you have the quarterback that has to get it up and down, but he has to give the receiver enough time to get the DB to turn his back with it. So that was the difficult part of it. Tanner knew he just I don't have a lot of space to work with, but he was very confident. And again, even like a couple inches either way, it could have been incomplete. The thing that I saw was just how composed he was and how confident he was in the decision to make the throw."
