Tanner Lee played great tonight
- Thread starter Foosball is the devil
- Start date
********! If the receivers would of caught the two touchdowns the game would've been different!
I didn't see it. Yeah there were a few drops but every team has some. He still was just 50% with 1 TD and 1 INT. In this offense the qb needs to be around 70%. Also, we aren't hitting receivers in stride all that often. (Obvious exception was the TD.) Did he play better than most games so far? Sure. Was it great? Hardly.
Run the ball, stop the run, win the game.
"But" we're a hard-core fluff-ball program. So we just keep losing....and losing....and losing...

and if the offense would've sustained some drives then our defense wouldn't have been torn a new one in the 4th quarter. Wisconsin had the ball for nearly a quarter longer, that devastated our defense.
The pick six, thrown behind Zig was his fault...otherwise, he played decent. Only threw for 50% though.
When you consider that we do not have a single pass-catching tight end, no pass blocking tight ends, little wideouts, who can't run a pattern, a hard running tailback that has trouble catching a pass, when you add up all of the commas, Lee had a great game.
Exactly! and again, this is why this is not the offense for us
The guys on BTN post game said Zig ran a bad route, for what it’s worth...
I felt like Lee played better as well. Seemed to feel the pressure better and threw the ball away when he needed to. No sacks against Lee that I recall.
Needs to have a higher completion rate but it’s hard to get open when our receivers were getting mugged. They outphysicaled us in every way tonight, but Lee wasn’t the problem this time.
He still throws into double coverage way too much.
Anyone notice the last series both O'Brien's completions were after he went through progressions, didn't have anything, and checked down to Oz with perfectly thrown balls? His last pass on 4th and 9 wasn't so hot, but was thrown to a wide open TE.
Maybe we would all be in a different place right now if O;Brien has been inserted after Lee's first pick 6 against NIU.

Yeah, things would be totally different. People would be screaming for Gebbia by now.
I'm not screaming for O'Brien. I'm wishing he received some meaningful PT early in the year so we could see what we have in him, and if he proved to be a gamer, we might be in a better place.
I know what you are saying, but that is an area that Lee seems to be much improved in. He did a much better job finding the check down this game than any other game. I don’t think he was sacked all game.
But yes, it would have been nice to have seen POB before last night.
Time of possession can be mis-leading because of stopped clock. Wisconsin only ran 5 more offensive plays then us.
It's not misleading. What's our offense doing while they're eatin up clock? Playing pocket pull on the sidelines
That was in reference to the statement that time of possession caused our defense to be devastated in the 4th quarter. Wisconsin's defense only played 5 more downs of football than our defense regardless of whether the clock was stopped or running while they are in the huddle.
Because of stopped clock on failed pass plays the real gauge of controlling the time is the number of plays each team runs.
They are on the field less while ours is on the field more. Short breaks < long breaks.
No that is not the truth. Time of possession does not represent time on the field or equate to longer or shorter breaks. Time of possession only measures the scoreboard clock. If you run 10 offensive plays at 30 seconds that burns up 5 minutes of real time on the field and 5 minutes of possession time. But if you run 10 plays all passing and 5 of them stopped the clock you are still on the field for 5 minutes but you might have only had 3 or 4 minutes of possession clock.

But pro-style can work, just need the right QB, RB, OL, TE, and WR...plus a stingy defense!

You make zero sense.
Our defense was on the field longer than theirs was.
That matters. Welcome to football.
He played very well. It wasn't the offense that led to our defeat. It was in fact the defense's inability to stop the run. Period. It had little to do with our offense.
17 points isn't enough. Run D was terrible I'm just making the point that I don't like this offense now or for the future.
Absolutely serious. We gave up roughly 250 yards in rushing to their running back. When we knew it was coming we couldn't stop it. End of game. It wasn't Lee's, Langsdorf's or our offenses fault. Expecting them to outscore Wisconsin was not a sane expectation. Morgan's giveaway was the final insult but the game was pretty well over at that point and THAT had NOTHING to do with the style of our offense. Last time I checked Tom called pass plays too and expected his WRs to hang on to the ball.
IF our D would have gotten the ball back to us maybe we could have put up more points but we couldn't get their offense off the field. JMHO. You HAVE to stop the run above all and we couldn't.
That's true enough partner but our mighty Beaver offense was also marginal at best. Putting points on the board helps a lot.
You can't put points on the board when your offense doesn't get the ball in the 4th quarter and the one time you have a drive going Morgan gives the ball away. We put up over 300 yards in offense in the first half to a little over 200 for Wisconsin. The difference in the first half was a ball batted in the air falling into their hands for 6 and a missed field goal. In the second half we could not get the ball back from their offense and we gave it away once. They were 4/5 in the red zone. Their RB averaged >10 ypc on 25 carries and you're blaming our offense? Good heavens.

When we throw a six pick, the other team's offence gets to stay on the bench.
dinglefritz, we needed every point we could get last night. Pick 6 was momentum killing nightmare. That is 7 for them and 7 we could have scored. Missed FG. Dropped passes
Sometimes you have to outscore people and create momentum in order to compete. We got to 17 all and were gassed on D.
Offense needed to step it up last night. Whisky OL was too good for us to expect to win scoring less than 30+
When you remember that 7 of our 17 came from our own defense it’s even more destressing. Again, there’s plenty of blame to go around. But 10 points from our offense in year 3 is just not good enough.
Try 10 points by the offense. Try a quarterback that was 50% with 1 TD and 1 INT. Ozigbo averaging almost 5 ypc and the offensive line providing good protection was about the only decent part of our offense last night.
