I disagree that Lindsay regressed. He had his best game of the year in game 11. Played well in difficult weather in 12 and played well in the bowl.To me the basic deficiency has been the offensive line, I look for push to see if we match up physically. I don’t recall seeing much push against even Buffalo. Our short yardage offense was horrific, couldn’t pick up a yard on 3rd and 4th down numerous times. That forces trick plays or short passing when one shouldn’t be necessary. When it came down to a hat on a hat, we lost mostly, gotta be fixed or…..
That said I think the regression of Lindsay and maybe even AK can be, not getting much time to throw, which cumulatively leads to more loss of confidence as a season progresses. Another thing that has seemed glaring is our lack of separation by the receivers, even our best are always in a rasslin’ contest for numerous balls a game.
Lindsay does move OK in the pocket but in college a lack of mobility in the QB can be a problem.
Not getting explosive passing plays not always on the QB, IMO
I agree that AK got the yips, could be and OL. Could be coaching. Could be his girlfriend broke up with him. We will Never know exactly why
