Highly possible.

Well, I am headed to State College next week for the Penn State vs Ohio State game. So that is my pick.

Yeah, but then they only went to Bernard 14? times last game.

59-34 sounds better than 7-13 at this point

Huntley had the improvisation down but what really made that 2019 offense go was him getting hurt against SC. The pass blocking was really subpar that year and he was having to escape immediate rushers constantly but with his lower body injuries he couldn’t be the runner he was in previous years. So he made the first man miss, found his single…[Read more]

Zero expectations (good or bad). Actually, this is one of the more stress-free games in some time for me. We’re not really playing for anything other than a little pride.

You hadn’t heard that? It’s been one of the most repeated stories from 2021. That on that 4th down call, Ludwig sent in a play but when the team came out in the wrong formation, Whitt called for timeout. When they asked what play Rising thought was called he said flea-flicker. The coaches looked at each other and decided that would be a great…[Read more]

I wonder if the lacerated kidney he suffered impacted him mentally. I’m not saying he all of a sudden got the yips or anything, but to go from being thought of that highly to not being QB2 over a true freshman…. Then not transferring out…. Makes you wonder.

After the UCLA game and then the first half of Oregon State it was clear that Johnson could not make even the simplest throws with any consistency. Even if Barnes could only provide 75% of what Rising did, he was the only option for the rest of the season.

Two of three really good QBs in Whitt and Lud’s tenure audibled a lot (Cam) or were rumored to be calling the plays on field (BJohnson). Lud had Huntley for a year, can’t speak to the dynamic with Huntley.

More chaos plays by the defense would help. Only non-offensive TD has been the blocked field goal return. Usually by now our defense has had a few scores.

Yeah, I remember reading all the time how difficult his offense was to grasp and that being the reason that certain players weren’t seeing the field etc. I guess that’s fine if you’re one of the best offenses in college football year in and out, but it just seemed kind of ridiculous to me. If guys are good enough to play but it takes them a…[Read more]

I have been making that exact argument for the last 6 years. When Ludwig has an accurate QB that can improvise with his legs when the planned options are not available, his “system” seems to work really well. Those types aren’t exactly dime a dozen at the college level.

National championship game perhaps, not even knowing who would be in it.

My first reaction was the same as yours. Former Army guy, and my friends son is a Freshman on the team.

🎶Ain’t no fakin’ I’m onto Bajakian.🎶

If it takes 2 full offseasons to learn, that seems like non starter. Especially in the day and age of the portal.

Could you argue that this type of offense only worked because it often didn’t work and required a running QB to scramble and salvage a “blown up” play?

Here’s what shocks me…in the 2023 Spring Game, Rose showed the most talent and promise of all the QBs that played. That’s why everyone, myself included, that he was QB2 going into the season. Then he got injured in practice and narrative changed completely to one that he didn’t know the playbook. I’m still completely flabbergasted at that…[Read more]
