Make no mistake, Doodle wants us to throw.....it's just that our reputation as a run first team makes throwing on first down more effective BEFORE it becomes necessity.....that's all. So we pissed that away, which is too bad.
Stanley overthrows another wideopen receiver that would have been a sure touchdown. He's a good QB but reallyyyy needs to get that aspect of his game figured out.
i'd rather see him risk an int than miss every deep pass he makes! why would anyone do anything but bring heat when he can't make a throw
The worst deep ball throwing QB in college football.
He does have nice touch on the short stuff.
He has to hit that deep ball. Has to. Teams roll up on us and his inability to compete even one single deep ball is handicapping an already marginal offense.

Stanley running like he is in sand, but did well looking for a blocker and got 8 yrds. Nice 1st down on pass to Fant
I love everything about him except for these overthrows on deep balls. It's officially a trend now and it's taking points off the board.

So it hasn’t happened yet but will the Stanley deep ball cost us a game this year? How is Weigers downfield?
They say it's better to overthrow so it takes the chance of an interception away right? But in Stanley's case maybe you say err on the short side in hopes you by chance just get a completion or a penalty. IDK
our problem is no one has to respect our passing game until nate makes some deep passes! until then it doesn't matter what we call...
Two first downs. Well, that's something, at least. Keep throwing the ball!
Not entirely. Throwing a few of those, even if incomplete, does tend t loosen up the secondary a bit, maybe get some space underneath or, miracle of miracles, actually be able to run the ball for four yards on a given play.
