Luke got the win and did plenty of good today. Most of the criticism I've seen is fair and so is the praise. 

The key is how does he look after a team has full game film and preps for him all week. 

 
I wish you could start a poll within an existing thread.

The poll would be a 'Yes' or 'No' answer to this:

"If we had kicked three field goals in the second half against Northwestern and won the game 22-21 with Adrian finishing it out, would you still want to have seen Adrian benched?"

I'm going to assume it would be a 90% 'Yes.'

If we win at least 3 of the last 4 against some of these s***stain teams left on the schedule in the West with Luke at the helm, the drama that was the theater of this changing of the guard will be pretty intriguing (and for me also a bit bizarre) years down the road.

I think we're going to see both guys in games down the stretch. Luke really provides a spark, but if Adrian could get back to his Freshman year passing we'd be in great shape.

 
Luke’s youth and limited access has been his savior. He has simple reads and if they aren’t there, he makes the choice to tuck and run. A couple of times he had looked for second and third reads, but much like AM, the trigger is often not pulled.

 
You people are nuts. This was his first start and it was against a Big Ten team with a lot of talent. Maybe consider that when you're making comparisons.

And his INT today looked like a terrible throw? No s#!t, he got hit as he threw it.

 
This is one isolated play so I'm not saying this is necessarily true in a larger sense.  But on our last third down, we ran a route concept that we've seen several times this year: a middle receiver (usually a TE) runs a deep curl in the middle of the field  (usually 10ish yards) while two other receivers run crossing routes from opposite sides of the field then settle down at 6ish yards.  Really nice concept against a zone because it gives three easy targets inside the hashes for the QB to pick from.  It sure looked like Luke locked in on the TE at/before the snap because he never looked anywhere else and forced it to the well-covered TE for an incompletion.  But the receiver crossing from left to right looked to be wide open and probably would have gotten the first down.

Now, again, that was one play and it can happen to anyone.  But that's the kind of play that we have to be able to make to move the chains, especially in the four minute drill.
