  1. I thought Fidone had a very good block on Haarberg's TD run. He sealed his man on the inside, and Haarberg was able to follow the WR's who were blocking on the inside. Fidone hasn't blocked well on the WR screens. Maybe they are asking him to go too far out to make that block. Either way, Satt should throw that play out of the playbook for this year.
  2. Meh, I don't know about better wins, but they also got smoked by Purdue, blew it against Wisconsin, and were terrible against Nebraska.
  3. We basically just can't be tied with Minnesota at the end of the year. NU will need wins over Wisconsin and Iowa to be in the hunt, which would give NU tiebreakers over them. If NU loses to Maryland, it will be tough to win the division at 5-4.
  4. Illinois' QB's looked pretty bad against us a few weeks ago.
  5. I just don't think Purdy is getting many reps in practice. Once the season starts, teams are installing game plans and doing prep work for that specific game. That means the reps are going to the top guys, especially when the coaches are trying to do their best to improve Haarberg for this season.
  6. I think our thoughts aren't far off from each other. Maybe I am expecting too much for Haarberg to be able to move around in the pocket or scramble to one side and stay looking downfield to find an open receiver. He obviously has issues doing that, so yes, his best option may just be to try and find a lane and run. The trouble with that is that I don't think Haarberg is very quick. Yes, he's a big and fast guy, especially in the open field, but he doesn't have good and quick feet. He lumbers around on the field. But, that's why the coaches were looking for him to be an H-Back type at the beginning of the season.
  7. It's not so much tucking and running, but it's being able to move around in the pocket or extend a play and then make a pass on the run. The blocking has to be near perfect for Haarberg to make any attempt at a pass, and then we have to pray that the pass is on target.
  8. I did needed yard work directly after the game, and I am not going to go back through this entire thread. I really didn't learn anything today. I am being realistic and known NU is a flawed team with a flawed roster, and the coaches aren't perfect. NU's margin of error is very slim each week. The D gave up some big plays which cost them points, which hadn't happened the prior 3 weeks. The offense is bad, but reasonable considering the amount of young guys and backups we are playing NU needs to do their best to find 2 QB's in the transfer portal. One young one, and one older one.
  9. He doesn’t throw on the run. It’s not a pass play then.
  10. Have you seen Haarberg try to throw it on the run?
  11. Two minute drills comes down to keep getting first downs.
  12. Yeah, he is the best option for this year. But not long-term.
  13. That pass is why HH’s passing delivery sucks. Can’t have sailing passes deel down the middle.
  14. I don’t like fielding a punt at the 6, but punters are much better at not having the ball bounce, and it’s a very soft, grass field.
