I think I have lost faith after last nights game, this season has all the makings of a 5-7 or 6-6 record. I don’t believe Whittingham is capable of taking us to the next level.
Unless Whitt starts Shelley against Washington, I don’t see how we survive.
The only good news is that another disastrous performance gets us one step closer to Tuttle playing.
Yes it is. Gay inexplicably missed two field goals he makes on the reg. That’s 6 more points. We stopped running in the second half for some damn reason. Let’s see what happens next week.
there is supposed to be significant improvement between weeks 1 and 2, not a significant drop off. Good thing ucla and arizona suck, they’ll keep us out of the south’s cellar – I hope
The backup quarterback is always the most popular player among fans. There is a reason why Huntley is starting over Shelley and Tuttle right now. Those two MAY end up being better than Huntley in the long term, but the coaches don’t think they’re better than him right now.
The bottom line is, if our offensive line doesn’t show some basic level of competency, it won’t matter who is taking the snaps. The result will be the same.
The bench Huntley takes are about as dumb as the fire whittingham takes. Dude threw for almost 300 yards against a talented defense. Iowa’s QB played worse against them, at home, and was a better passer than Huntley last year. Hubtleys completion percentage was over 64% meanwhile the WRs had 6 dropped passes.
the WRs were mediocre and the offensive line was bad. NIU has a talented defense and we knew that going in. Just stop with the stupidity.
