Scarlet Overkill

JD makes a ton of great plays and he can’t be perfect, so I’m not down on him at all. However, he has had a couple of killer drops for NU this year. He dropped a pass late against CU which would have been a first down and could have burned more clock, and then the drop yesterday. It just sucks that NU has been in a number of close games, where drops and other mistakes are magnified. 

@ColoradoHusk that same game Morgan dropped an easy catch for a td as well.  I think the one JD dropped yeaterday would have ripped the wind from OSU's sails and it would have flipped the gane completely into our control.  It's a what if game we just cant put ourselves in for the future though.  Learn and move on.

Yeah, that one and the one Zig dropped were drive stoppers. I don't think either one goes directly for a TD but they sure would've let us keep going. We've had a ton of those types of plays all year but they are getting reduced pretty much week by week. The good news after the 0-6 start is we are in really good position to finish 5-1 with the only loss being a close one at tOSU. Signals very good things for the future. If we can just get special teams to the point they aren't hindering us and possibly even helping, we should be able to compete with anyone in the B1G.
