Max Shikenjanski appreciation thread

He did great - even considering he came in after the game was decided. Excellent presence and poise. Passes were sharp. If Lindsey is unable to play, I think we have a serviceable back-up.

On the flip side - Wittke.... sheesh.
 

I assume Shikenjanski got put back in the game to close it out since Wittke's pick was so awful.
 








I didn't realize his mother passed away at the end of last season.

He looked good - damps down my fears of having no QB if Drake is hurt. By the way, Kaliakmanis is hitting at 74% so far for Rutgers!

He looked good last year in the non con too but then came back to his norm. He ended at 53.9 completion percentage last year.

When his father played and that team made the tournament run, I was living and working in Illinois. That was long before I ever came to Minnesota. We had an office pool, discussed the games, and some of the guys were enjoying that name. "It's not Chickenjanski, it's Shikenjanski!"
 



Yep, really glad to see him play and impressed with his poise and competence in his first QB real QB action. He looked comfortable out there, like he was playing with House money.
 


Great to see a local guy walk on and win the backup job. Hopefully we don't need him to be the guy at any point this season but he looked pretty comfortable out there which is a good sign.

Great low pressure moment for him to get into the game and get some reps. Could play loose knowing that one mistake wouldn't cost the team the game.
