Genuinely impressed how a poll on Twitter knocked it out of the park like that.

Please not Kiffin I actually like him.

Pass.

Does it really though? Listen, I’m excited for Raiola, but he hasn’t played a snap in college yet. Plenty of other teams have highly rated QBs. What’s the difference between Nebraska and any of those other teams, or teams that have a QB that’s shown to be competent in CFB?

Oline was better than last year. I personally feel a lot of people judge him based on year 1 under Frost. With the way Frost ran the program IDK how anyone can judge a guy coaching under him.

We’ve never sent a true sophomore QB. All those guys except Berringer are old enough to be Raiola’s grandpa.

You think Raiola hit Rhule with a ‘Hey you up?’ after several months like some sort of ex gf?

That change would’ve come from McCord not Rhule.

Coaches will probably say they plan to have him start but everybody still has to compete.

Keep in mind these NIL valuations include their endorsement deals. Williams and Sanders have endorsements with Nissan, Dr Pepper, Wendy’s/ Google, KFC.

Like who? Have you looked at NIL valuations?

Considering his other options, I don’t know that that’s true.

This. Plus all the drama surrounding Frost and him being gone and Rhule really feeling like a players coach. Georgia’s #2 QB just transferred. I think it would’ve been unlikely Raiola start as a true freshman anyway and with potential future competition leaving, it seems unlikely to me this was about Beck coming back.

Ward averaged 40.4 passes and 10 rushes per game. He was their offense.

Which is exactly my point in the Ward v McCord debate. And the reason Martinez didn’t have to carry the offense there was because they have a good oline.

Where did I say that? I’m talking about oline production and how it can mean less turnovers for a qb and gave a recent example.

They didn’t split duties. Martinez got hurt and then lost the job. Howard only played in 7 of the 14 games. Those are per attempt stats not per game stats so they aren’t partial. He only played 7 games in 2020. Is it really that hard to say K-State has a good oline?

Martinez’s pass + rushing attempts divided by turnovers. 34.8 30.4 30.3 33.8 114.5 Guess which year he was at K-State.

You’re comparing a guy on one of the least talented rosters in the pac vs a guy on one of the most talented rosters in all of college football. Martinez only had 2 turnovers at K-State because they have a great oline.

I know a witch doctor if someone can supply a live badger, some turf pellets from the 50 yard line, and one of Bo’s nose hairs. Meet at Stadium Drive this weekend?

You’re not taking into consideration what the defense is doing. Stacked boxes. We ran tons of quick routes. Problem is, HH consistently misses high over the middle on them. Easy turnover. There’s a reason he was catching passes instead of throwing them at the beginning of the season.

128th in passing attempts per game. We did not abandon the run.

HH wasn’t ‘bit by a bug’. That’s who he is. I’m not a QB coach but I still know missing high over the middle is a mortal sin. 3 of the 5 times we ended up punting there was a dead ball foul that created long distance downs. Was it that Wisky adjusted or that our penalties made 3rd down less manageable? We missed a 42 yard fg and failed to convert on 4th and 1 on Wisky’s 33.

It’s year 1. Your going to make your offense fit the pieces it has. What exactly are the bright ideas apparently so many people have that would’ve turned around the offense led by Sims/Haarberg? We don’t average 20 passes a game because we don’t have a need to pass. I don’t know how anyone can think they can accurately judge Sat with the qb play we’ve seen this year.

Purdy needed to get vertical there. Allowed the defender to stretch the play out. Gets vertical and he probably gets 3-4 yards. That’s fine when you’re in 4 down territory. The bigger issue was the false start.
