if the touchdown that got ruled down at the half-yard line would have counted for Colson Loveland, and Caleb Williams would have hit him on the deep throw down the middle where Caleb threw it behind him, and Caleb would have hit him on the pass in the end zone where he clearly had a touchdown, but Caleb missed him by four feet... nine targets through three games... I still think he's very, very, very... it's weird that they're not making going out of their way to get him the ball more.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Loveland's nine targets through three games mask multiple near-TD opportunities; Silva sees talent despite low volume.

Through three games, Loveland has nine targets, which is low volume; however, Evan Silva argues the perception of Loveland is misguided and that he remains very talented. Silva notes that Loveland had multiple near-touchdown opportunities that were ruled down or missed by Caleb Williams (a deep throw where Williams threw behind him, and a pass in the end zone where Williams missed him by four feet), suggesting the target volume and touchdown opportunities are there but execution has been lacking. Silva emphasizes that if those plays had converted, the narrative would be much more optimistic about Loveland's role.
