That’s how I see it as well. Was Nate ever in a situation to get starting reps and not split them with Cam? From that standpoint I can see why he was complaining about development opportunities and the chance to get better and learn from his mistakes. It also seems like (from his point of view) there was a lack of communication or of maybe…[Read more]

We really need a couple of backs that are reliable. As good as Moss and Booker were both of them were run into the ground and in November games they were playing hurt. Just think if how different this season could have been if we had Bernard in the mix at RB.

Penix to Odunze on a 30 yard bomb looks pretty good, especially in that kind of weather.

Yeah, the QB room was completely mismanaged this year. Rising should never have been taking practice reps away from Barnes and especially NJ if he wasn’t cleared to play. Maybe those missed practice reps could have made a difference (even for Barnes) at this point of the season.

I can’t understand why NJ wasn’t put into the game in the second half especially after Barnes threw his second pick. We weren’t coming back at that point anyway.

Not too surprising with the talent level they have. Their defense has major issues which has cost them games against ranked opponents, but CW playing hero ball can absolutely sow chaos and confusion on even the most disciplined defense. Is it going to blow up in his face from time to time, sure but the times it’s not he is connecting on 40 yard…[Read more]

I think that Whitt did the smart thing in announcing that Rising (and Kuthie) are out for the remainder of the season. Barnes doesn’t need to look over his shoulder and wonder if the next week is going to be the week that Cam is back, so that distraction is now gone.

This also allows Barnes to get the starting reps as well as a game plan that is…[Read more]

Having an offense that can move the ball and is fun to watch the last 2 years has made this year seem lesser somehow. The awesome thing is that regardless of some of the ugly wins we are sitting at 6 and 1 without an established QB running the show and several of our starters either out or with season ending injuries.

At this point of the…[Read more]

I’ve been critical of Barnes, but you’ve got to give credit where credit is due. At the end of the day all that matters is the win.

Caleb Williams running for his life and then forcing the throw for a pic. Hmm, this is making me far to happy.

Notre Dame likes to run the ball, and their D is pretty good. So far that game plan has neutralized USC’s offense. Who knows how long that will last, but I hope our coaches are taking notes.

Was that the same crew that did the Stanford Colorado game last night?

True, O block needs to improve, but it would also be nice if our primary/secondary backs could take some contact and not go down right away as well.

I just made a post about the same thing. Watching teams run RPO in several games today and that sure seems like a system that would fit Nate much better than what we have been doing.
