I went with a C. We finished 8th in the B1G and 4th in the west behind Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska. We lost momentum down the stretch, and the last week was nothing short of a disaster with Dickerson not signing and losing out on Townley, Hood and the 5 offensive linemen we were after. 2...
I disagree with your talent assessment. Gach isn’t a star, he’s a solid starter. Johnson, Ihnen and Gabe aren’t solid starters - none of them would ever start on a top 25 team. I think your view of the talent on our team is off. My opinion- we’ll see what happens over the next 5 games.
I’m still waiting to see if SomeDay is going to return to this thread. Not as a gotcha moment, I’m just generally interested at what point in the game yesterday could someone have been so dismayed by our offensive play calling.
I just looked at Pat Friermuth’s stats for the year: 23 catches for 310 yards and 1 TD through 8 games. Last year he was at 43/507/7. So he’s getting fewer targets than last year with Ciarocca, but still significantly more than our TEs got under Kirk.
If Mo didn’t slide at the end, we would have scored 31 points in a B1G game. And without Bateman, 2 o-linemen and 3 TEs. And I think we had almost 400 total yards and no turnovers. What’s the problem? Do you want Nebraska’s OC?
You have some interesting takes that I can’t quite get my head around. You find ways to pot shot PJ and the football team while sticking up for Richard and telling us he knows more than the board. Despite the fact that PJ’s had infinitely more success after 4 years than Richard has had in 7...
Did you watch our defense this year? We need starting caliber players all over the defense, not back-ups. The expectation for any grad transfer should be that they have a strong chance to be a starter.
