Pull the starters at Halftime. Rest up for away game at Wisconsin. Vanilla playbook. Luke F and Staff will be watching.
No chance. But it might not be as much down field passing as some of our fans hope to see. I think the focus will be on the short game / screen / bubble routes that haven't been incorporated into Gavin’s game much yet. Normally this game would be a waste of time, but in this case, it offers a game speed opportunity for lots of repetition on short game execution. Which we really need.
Passing down field on long vertical routes is a colossal waste of time against Wagner. It might even be counter productive because our guys will find space that will never be there against any other teams. I’d much rather win 30-7 and start seeing some crisper, better placed short passes by the end of the game than 52-7 with Isaiah catching six 50+ yard long balls. The score doesn’t much matter.
Who’s gonna want to tackle Brown in second half as he works his way back into a 10-15 carry RB , this after trying to tackle Monangai in the first half. 
We threw for 4 TDs (3 diff quarterbacks) and 257 yards against them last year so…. I doubt it. Wagner takes stinking to a whole different level.
I want to see lots of passes to the RBs and tight ends. I can’t imagine that’s not in the cards as this is what Gavin needa work on. I doubt we’ll take a ton of deep shots downfield but not for the reason you suggest. There’s just no point when there are other things for Gavin to work on where the level of competition is less important than simply developing game flow.
This. I will plan for a pre and post-halftime tailgate.
ETA I will have to adjust my alcohol consumption because I will only have 1/2 the time to sober up.
Really? He will have a ton of time in the pocket and has shown he can make some pretty good throws against the big boys- those sideline passes against the #2 team in the country, hitting guys in stride all season. We can let GW air it out without showing anything new that we haven't already done. It is the perfect time to build the confidence.
