Secondary gotta get better.

Josh gotta stop leaving tuddies on the board by under throwing his wideouts.

But we’re 6-0 and bowl eligible in October for the third time in my lifetime, I used to pray for days like this.

Secondary needs to be replaced. Sayin and Smith might beat us alone next week.

It’s a very real concern but the front 7 looks completely different when the QB isn’t a dual threat so that helps.

Smith is gonna go for 300 I fear.

I thought Josh played relatively well given the abysmal run game

He wasn’t bad today and hasn’t been bad on the season. He’s been solid and hasn’t put the ball in danger either.

However I do think there was at least 1 pass to Charlie and another to Marsh where they probably get 6 if Josh leads them into the ball instead of making them slow down. Understandably hard in the wind but that’s been his issue all season wind or not.

Fair point for sure. I do think the fanbase is har on him. Also… Jacob savage needs more playing time

We’re not hard on him. He is well-paid and we just want him to at least be as good as Rourke.

He had a 94 espn QBR he’s been a top 10 college qb

I thought we played better when Harris got in the game. Still a pretty glaring weakness but that was a little reassuring

The defense as a whole did get significantly better in the second half.

If Hoover could lead a receiver the offense would be absolutely disgustingly good. Marsh and Becker are constantly beating dudes. If we get that and the secondary figured out we’ll be real contenders if not we’re incredibly vulnerable.

We were bowling in October in 2019, also after a win at Nebraska

Josh was really good this game buddy he’s not the offensive problem
