I remember he had a bad duke game! But did we tank em too early? I think we are a few years away from a 🥇 winning Big Ten record! At least Hoops is playing better!

While I’m not going to go that far, I don’t think I’ll ever understand why Johnson was so quickly and permanently banished to the bench while Marty got a seemingly inexplicable number of opportunities.

Marty was uniformly terrible in every game an opponent could prepare for him.

But he never looked as bad (except for today) as HuJo did in that half against Duke.

It doesn’t matter at all, but I wish Hunter had gotten another chance. While I guess the staff is planning for Hilinski as the guy and gave him the rest of the reps today, I truly hope everyone in the QB room gets a chance to win the job next year.

Totally fair to wonder, especially given what we now know about the season.

Best stretch of QB play all year was Hunter against MSU.

Though Duke certainly may have been the worst. Or close to it. The last few games looked pretty much like Duke.

This is a recurring theme, our best QB is the guy who hasn’t been on the field the longest. The fact is we do not have a coach that can develop a QB on the roster or not.
