Hopefully we don't get embarrassed on national TV.

I agree. Have to spread out the carries some. The disappointing thing to me is the kid they brought in from Western Michigan. He is flat out not a power 5 type back. There has to be someone else though that can handle the rock for 10-12 carries a game? Don't run this kid into the ground, he has...

Agreed. All this talk about possible NFL for this guy. He has size, that's it. Zero motor, poor hands, bad blocker.

He wouldn't have been able to do it either without cheating. Even before NIL, the only way any of these programs were any good was to cheat and pay their players. The U, completely ruined their athletic program when they did what they did to Clem Haskins. It isn't any individual coach's fault...

I don't see it that way. Look at some of the supposed powers. Alabama for example, Ohio State for another. They aren't automatic top 5 teams anymore because now everyone can pay their players. In years past it was only a handful of chosen ones that could get away with it. That said, I agree...

So what is any different at OSU? They have been cheaters for years. The worst cheaters in fact in all of college football. Bleed them dry for all I care.

I remember Chris Darkins and Tutu Atwell being fantastic players. Their defense couldn't stop anyone. Even their offense the reason they always put up so many points, etc is that we would get down big, then the other team would either start subbing in their 2nds or the guys out there on the...

My point is here is a kid with real talent and he is playing like sh!t. If he doesn't play better expect this season and next to either go nowhere or rely on 40 carries a game for whoever they consider their bellcow.

Completion % and QB rating say he has.

I don't think it has anything to do with talent. His talent is there, it's much more than TM had. Problem is, Tanner Morgan was strong above the neck line. We haven't seen anything that says AK is. Hopefully it comes with more reps, etc. IMO, he will develop into a really good QB, just not sure...

I wasn't expecting to win in NC, but I was expecting a competitive game.

And this is 100% why the money raised for NIL should be used to land these types of guys if we figure out we don't have who we want. I DO think AK can and will be really good. But if he plays poorly all year, old PJ better start making some phone calls and steal one of Alabama or some other...

I agree but the NCAA has been all about this for years picking winners and losers in both football and basketball. Things are finally starting to even out now that every team can pay their players instead of just a select few "blue bloods".

He has talent that isn't TOO much further down the rung from those 2 right now. Those 2 WERE all BT players though. There are a couple with pretty close to that talent level here now also though. But they need someone to feed them the ball. Flat out AK has been the worst QB in the Big Ten so...

I mean, look at the names you are listing as QB's there. None were really very good if you are being honest. None can compare to guys that were and are being run out by PSU, OSU or almost any team south of the Mason Dixon line. MN, IA, WI, NW, etc have to win ugly or they don't win. Flat out...

OK, let's use Wisconsin then. Same game plan, same level of talent. A bunch of West titles.

This is how you win when you are out-talented. You can flat out win games with your conditioning this way. Newsflash, our rosters isn't full of 4 and 5 star guys. We have to win ugly. It is what it is. PJ understands this.

Iowa has won the west playing a game of football that died in the 70s.

Yes they do. This WR corp is good. This is on the QB mostly. It's OK to admit that AK has been nothing but bad so far. As in much worse than he was last year and much worse than anything TM gave you. He HAS to play better. That is a fact. I think he can and will. I am not certain if it will...

They have a first round NFL quarterback, that is why.
