I fundamentally do not understand why Striggow and Joyner (who has been a massive disappointment this year) were dropping into zone every play that last drive. How could that possibly be our best option?

I just hope we don’t run Taylor into the ground - even if it’s working. Find a second back and/or work on the passing game please.

I wonder too if beyond the WR talent drop off, D coordinators have just gotten better at defending the RPO slant. We rarely seem to run it anymore, and I can’t imagine it’s only because we have a Crooms or Brockington instead of TJ/Bateman.

I could see mutual interest to an extent here given MSU resources and their need for a “culture change” and program builder. Idk if Fleck has done well enough here though, especially if we have fewer than 8 wins this year.

Actually encouraged by Fleck’s postgame presser. Seems like there is a sense of urgency. AK’s inaccuracy is getting concerning. He missed some deep balls that would have changed the game. Our inability to make any explosive plays (run or pass) is such a killer. How many plays over 40 yards...

- Athan throws much better to the sidelines than he does over the middle. - Taylor is really good. - can’t believe we weren’t prepared for their tempo. That’s on Rossi. - pleasantly surprised by our run D - NC has some skill guys and Maye is good

We’ve given up a pretty high YPC in the running game so far. Getting Lindenberg back will help, but that’s a big concern for next week.

Run game far and away the biggest concern coming out of tonight, but hopeful it’s the 3-3-5. D looked good and will get much better w Lindenberg back.

He was committed to James Madison until yesterday looks like.

Almost incomprehensible how inept Ben has been. Can’t even fill the roster. Only saving grace is that we only have to do one more year after this. An unrelenting disaster from day one.

Perilously thin at QB now.

Great article - really cool to see him stick it out for four years and get rewarded. Sucks they used the picture of him dropping the INT that would’ve won us the Iowa game.

Beyond the on-court results, the biggest red flag is the lack of coherent roster construction, which suggests he doesn’t have a plan (also supported by the on-court results). The state of our PG and SG positions, which really haven’t been hit by injury, is astounding.

Horrific body language throughout from Henley and Payne today.

Syracuse fans are uniformly upset that he is leaving. Sounds like he was their best recruiter and a good coach.

I liked Kirk well enough, and was looking forward to seeing what he’d do with the offense next year, but he’s not some irreplaceable offensive genius and he doesn’t strike me as a great recruiter. The bigger concern to me is is Fleck’s shaky track record on hiring coordinators. But we appear...

This feels remarkably similar to how I felt after last season. An ugly bowl win on a criminally sloppy field after a season-redeeming win against Wisconsin.

Stapp is brutal

The lack of panic offers to O-line transfers encourages me, actually.

While I still have hope that Fickell will dash to OSU in two years, with Wisconsin having burned the bridge with Leonhard and the Alvarez era, we can’t bank on Wisconsin and Iowa getting worse to beat them. The U has to keep investing so we can match them.
