Last year I believe it was more the subpar OL and it was not gonna matter much who was at QB.
Trust me I wouldn’t be as polite as Brian Ferentz was yesterday. My opinion of reporters is about as low as some other infamous professions.
That was rough to read, but I can appreciate the approach you're taking here to try and end the conversation......😉
Johnson and Charlie Jones were the reason we beat Minnesota in 2021. Johnson and Arland were the reason we beat Northwestern in 2021. Jones was the reason we beat Illinois in 2021. Those playmakers are all gone. They were all game changers, regardless if they were hurt, we couldn’t throw them the ball, or just ignored their talents. What game changers do we have at receiver right now?
Since we are just playing hypothetical BS now, I will say all of them that get on the field.
Was that also Ken O'Keefe's fault?...............................
Hey now they will start the FIRE PHIL movement if you say stuff like that.
AKA THE SWARM. On as a team and off as a team. Remember when Bleeder and others insinuated there was dissention in the locker room last season, LOLZ.
The defense is a given at iowa. Guess who the quarterback was for those games CM???
But that guy that never lost a game at iowa, and the offense averaged over 29 points a game with, wasn’t good enough for our offensive coaches. So we can’t give him credit. Brian said so. Guy supposedly had no upside.
I’ll say this. I’m glad we have Cade. But it just seemed so hypocritical of our coaches to talk about how all that matters is winning, you can’t measure an offense based on yards, points, or whatever. And yet you kept putting a guy who was 7 and 7 his last 14 starts at quarterback who’s skill set didn’t fit this offense. And you’ve got a guy who’s never lost as a starter on the bench. 🤷♂️
Lol, no you're not.
Yep. Kirk trusted KOK's evals of QBs. I am sure Kirk talked with the QBs and their high school coaches, but if KOK gave them the gold seal, that was the main thing Kirk needed to go along.
There was no calm there with either Spencer or Alex. Some dudes just don't have that. Chuck Long always recalls the story of him being in his first game at Nebraska and being so nervous he threw up on Hayden Fry's white pants.
SP was a statue in the pocket (his fault), the OL gave no protection to said statue (not his fault).
I would say ownership would be attributable to Kirk and all coaches on offense and the players themselves across the board. At some point I think a guy gets tired of getting their ass kicked and responds and gets better through experience and working harder and watching film and not repeating mistakes. We will never know if the OL pre snap calls were good or not by Jones. They are critical.
it will never happen, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some air raid offense matched with Parkers defense.
If the O line is improved significantly, the offense will be pretty good. No excuse not to have 3-4 decent receivers with the portal. There are several good receivers who are available right now.
It will take a year or two to adjust, so Wisconsin offense will be inconsistent, but year three look out. That’s the normal trajectory for a good air raid offense. I’m using Leach as an example, Longo may not live up to that. spread passing attack is very qb centric. if you have someone like Locke at qb they will,put up a lot of points, It’s a good match for Wisconsin as they they always have good O lineman. if they have the qb and a deep receiving Corp they will score a lot of points.
Maybe I don't wanna look out for Wisconsin in year 3 of their air raid offense.......
