knapplc Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 What the actual hell. If Purdy was hurt, why didn't they keep Smothers in? And why keep putting Purdy out there when he was clearly ineffective? 4 1 Quote Link to comment

Little does he know Purdy is only good at scrambling. I hope Logan is the guy this week unless CT is ready. 2 Quote Link to comment

Gage County Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I wonder what the injury was. It must not have been much on Saturday as no one suggested he was injured until a half hour ago. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 OK, Casey goes down. They put in Smothers. He didn't pass great, but at least he has some running ability. They then go to Purdy after half. Purdy absolutely stunk it up.....and they didn't go back to Smothers....knowing Purdy was injured? So frustrating. Did they think that all of a sudden on Purdy's third attempt at a drive he was going to become a great passer? Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I like how it all comes out from Whip that Purdy didn't practice 2 days last week. Mickey had 2 chances to mention that (after the game and yesterday) and didn't. I wonder what the reasons for not mentioning it? Is it just that football coaches guard every detail like nuclear codes? 2 Quote Link to comment

I know the offense (and whole team) is dealing with injuries and lack of depth, but other than hitting Palmer on a bunch of deep passes against Purdue, the offense has been pretty average/bad in conference play. I know the offensive line completely sucks, and it's hard to do anything in that situation, but the rest of the position groups haven't been great either. QB's - Casey has been inconsistent and has been much like Texas fans thought he was. The backup QB's have been a complete mess. Purdy is not good, and Whip doesn't know how to use Smothers. RB's - Grant has shown glimpses, but he hasn't gotten enough touches and people who warned that his dancing will cost him yards against better defenses have turned out to be correct. Allen's injury has cost this room depth, but I don't get why Yant is where he is on the depth chart. WR's - Other than Palmer, this position group has had a lot of inconsistency, including some drops TE's - honestly one of the best performing groups, considering it's 2 walk-ons behind Vokolek. The lack of quality talent and developing scholarship guys has hurt this group though. 1 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I never want a pass first OC ever again. One was enough. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment
