BS 4th in the Nation in passing efficiency

[Palatine]

It's great that BS is having a good year.

But realistically, is he much improved or is the difference the OC?

Yep, he came in and and beat Holy Cross. But he hasn't rung up a W since. That falls mostly on the defense. Not BS fault.

But each game, he comes out and falls behind. Throws an early INT or misses and open guy on third down. Then plays well and we get closer, even tied once, but never over the hump. I would like to see us (and BS) break that pattern on Friday.

No this is owning: Sally Jenkins hit piece on Edsall

Not being able to count is embarrassing. Turtling and running away when proven wrong is embarrassing. All components of the "apologista" playbook.

But sure lets throw a parade for BS being winless against D1 teams because he has had good games against 3 bad defenses. Never said he was not playing well this year, just that you should slow down. And he did stink the last few years. Coaching was bad but so was the QB play to say other wise would be like saying 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 is 3 seasons not 4.

We are 3-1 or 4-0 if the D is even "average". Agreed he has missed people or made mistakes in spots - he isn't perfect. But I don't put the record on him.

You just need to stop. He was 22-28 vs SMU with tons of yards. Look at his TD to int ration this year and look at his completion percentage.

I know you are pining for Pindell but come on Dave, really?

Yes, he has improved as a quarterback.

Yes, the coaching change has helped.

Yes, he has done well against below average defenses.

No, it's not his fault we're 1-3.

I didn't think these points were debatable, but here we are.

There is a difference between using hyperbole when frustrated by a players poor extremely play in the moment and calling others idiots because you cannot count to four as you did in that thread. I will take my actions any day of the week over yours.

If BS plays the next 9 games like the first 3, he will be grouped with Dan O alone.

If he stays healthy I expect it to be an amazing season.....for the offense.

Healthy BS, competent coaching and a good group of WR's should be fun.

How about we move on?

I think 95% of this board made that mistake. It is incredible what Diaco can do to an offense. No wonder why Nebraska wanted him as a DC.
