Generally speaking I would agree with you. I do think PJ has turned a corner the second half of the year. To me, it is clear that he trusts Brosmer and the play calling has opened up.
To the momentum comment, again, in totality I agree with you, but going blocked punt into a reverse flea flicker is the definition of feeling the momentum. Again, we gave the momentum up by letting PSU march down the field for a score (aided by a "PI"), but he 100% felt the momentum to make that call.
I feel we beat Iowa and North Carolina with the game plans we have had the past few weeks, but the problem with a transfer QB is that there is a learning curve in the game-like situations.
