I really like the kid so far. Even if we have the average results this year, he should make games fun to watch. I feel like we'll have a puncher's chance in most games - if the D doesn't get destroyed.

He reminds me of how I felt watching Ganz and Zac Taylor...They just go balls out to try and win. Less talent than some of the QB's we've had, but scrappers.

Where are all the people who said that Colandrea shouldn't be the starter?

The kid allows Holgerson to use the skill talent in the ways he wants. The backs are involved in the pass game in ways we haven’t seen since Callahan. He gets the ball well to a number of spots on the field. Operationally, especially with respect to what Dana Holgerson wants to do with a play call sheet, AC is an upgrade over Raiola.

Yep we just running screens to the backs . We are releasing them through the line of scrimmage and they are running routes over the middle.

I can’t remember anybody saying that. For what we paid him he was clearly gonna be the starter.
I think the argument was more like ‘we all know Rhule doesn’t have true QB competitions and everything’s already decided from day one’. So not sure that it was ‘AC shouldn’t start’, maybe more of a ‘Rhule $ucks’ comment.

You should sit this entire forum out since you are a Hawkeye.
Heaven forbid you get differing opinions.

We all know stats against three "sisters of the poor" are meaningless.

Now, Huskers cone out of Eat Lansing with a convincing win, that will mean something.
Until then...

It would be one thing if you had meaningful posts but it always snide, derogatory comments 7 days a week. You are being a jackass on purpose. Do you even provide this much analysis on your Hawkeye forum?
here is a stat, Rhule has started 3-0 three straight seasons. Last time that occurred was between 1997-2001 under Solich. Simple fact. We don’t need any of your “yeah but” remarks. If Nebraska beats Michigan state you will have reasons to invalidate it.
