What happened: Szarka is out for the season. Kirby Moore takes over playcalling duties. Choate backed the MWC over the Pac-12 among Monday items.

Why it matters: Losing a starting quarterback for the season reshapes an offense and depth chart. A playcalling change resets responsibility for fixing production. Public MWC-Pac-12 comparison feeds the conference hierarchy debate.

What to watch: Watch how the offense operates under Moore and how the MWC-Pac-12 debate carries into Week 6.
