There is no one Gopher player this Saturday that has more to prove than Adam Webber. There is no one Gopher player that will determine the outcome of this game more than Adam Webber. After seeing Adam play against Purdue that can be a scary thought. Not Pun intended with Halloween coming up.
The big question is, "Which Adam Webber will show up this Saturday?". The one who has struggled all season or the one who showed much promise as a Freshmen that we thought we might have a special player on our hands. I hope it's the latter but I'm worried he will continue to struggle. His play this year has been mediocre at best.
I want the best for Adam and wished he'd throw for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns a game. Right now that seems impossible. It seems to me Adam has stopped playing with that reckless abadonment that made him great as a freshmen. He was not afraid to make mistakes when he passed or ran with the ball as a freshmen. Now he seems to play with a focus on not making mistakes rather than looking to see what's the next big play he can make in order to help the team. When you play focusing on not trying to make mistakes you seem to make them. Rather he needs to play with the confidence that I'm going to make a big play.
I know Adam has had a lot of things go against him this year in a new throwing motion, new offense, and O-line troubles. Great players make plays despite the odds stacked against them. We can't keep coming up with excuses on why he was struggled this year. It's time for Adam to take the bull by the horns.
The search for the real Adam Webber will be answered in just a few short days. The answer to that question will be answered by Mr. Webber himself. I hope we are all pleasantly suprised at which Adam Webber shows up on Saturday or we might be in for a long Saturday.
