Iowa is not a threat through the air AGAIN. We need to beat them convincingly this year.

DeBoer came into a lose/lose environment. Saban is likely the greatest coach of all time and had a stranglehold on every aspect of that program. If you screwed up/loafed/took plays off you suffered, and the players knew it. DeBoer isn't Saban and will eventually be sacrificed but it's ultimately...

I don't know how anyone could dislike the guy based on outward appearances alone, dude is a legend!

Why does he have to explain it? You seem to be the one who has the problem. How about you provide specific examples that are quantifiable instead of your hyperbolic "the offensive line coach is awful and our line sucks" BS?

Yep they'll 100% focus on what led to that sack during game review this week. I think the line did a great job alleviating pressure on pass plays overall, but Drake was also very impressive in being pretty quick and decisive with his decision making in the pocket. We've got a lot to look forward to!

I feel much, much more confident with an 8 win baseline this year.

This is both wild and severely disappointing to see. I'm glad to see the coaching staff emerging from their shells a bit

Confident qb probably masked a number of mistakes in pass pro but he had time to throw and the pocket didn't collapse on him in any substantial ways that I recall. That sack towards the end of the half was more of a "holding onto the ball too long" problem. I'm not a line blocking aficionado...

In terms of the red zone struggles and PJ stifling the offense, I recall three separate red zone possessions where Drake lobbed the ball into he endzone corner (one was the near pick). The throws weren't great, but Lemeke was pretty open on one of them. The red zone offense wasn't purely...

Another comparison, following the Nebraska game in 23, I was looking for every single reason possible to convince myself that AK was the answer and the next dude to lead this program. Yeah, it was Nebraska, but he looked absolutely terrified and incapable of making any decision when he didn't...

You certainly are committed to the bit, l'll give you that. Yes, the OL will improve as they always do. This team gets better as the season progresses as it typically has under Fleck.

That MAC team could probably hold their own against the bottom third of our conference with their returning talent. Plus, it's the first game. Nebraska and wisconsin looked far worse than we did. We'll be fine.

It's hard to compare due to the talent disparity between unc and Buffalo, but the QB performance last night was night and day compared to Brosmer's first start. Again, probably an unfair comparison but Drake looked pretty damn good and we certainly weren't playing the little sisters of the poor

As the play developed, I presumed Drake threw the ball at Geers to emphasize that his receiver got taken out before he could even be in a position to catch the pass and was trying to help draw a penalty. Just a bizarre result

Fleck has no chance to develop the existing culture we have today and ends up washing out after five years. I'm a staunch believer that Fleck came in at the best time possible and had the opportunity to spend a number of years creating a program where the culture is endemic and once youre in...

My comparison point of reference was Kaliakmanis in 2023. If we don't flub this with poor offensive line play, oh man do we have a quality qb at worst. We need to keep building around this kid.

I will say, this is the first game of the year and we played wayyyyyy more wide open in the passing game than I ever anticipated against a non con. Really fun to see Drake in person.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a quarterback.

We Weirdest pick I've ever seen in person. It's up there in terms of generally weird picks. Can't blame the QB on that one too much

I'm not super upset with the o line at this point. They'll take a couple of games to gel, once we hit conference play we need them to be figured out
