Yes, It Was a Blown Call, BUT

[FrontRangeDawg]

If our offense has any juice, we score on one or two of the many drives we couldn't capitalize on. It's because our QB cannot throw further than 15 yards downfield and also cannot go through progressions. If he is our best option, we will be lucky to win 3 more. I don't know why people are defending Rogers as a viable QB option. Watch any other team with a QB that has a decent arm. Our guy is not in that group. It sucks, but it's true. I hate it, but he's one of the worst I've seen as a State fan. It's Henig-level bad.

This is pointless.

It was a huge blown call that may very well have cost us a win. Full stop.

Any discussion of our other deficiencies needs to be separate from that ridiculous 17 up by that awful crew of refs.

MSU threw it 67 times. That’s absurd. There should be a rule limiting the # of passes to 50 to protect coaches like Leach from themselves.

If you score one more TD on your 70 pass attempts, it is not pointless. D did what it was asked to do.

And that what this thread seems to be about - the elephant in the room. Moving the goal posts isn’t going to change the fact that this offense isn’t productive.

Troll 17!

May need to be like Little League baseball where the pitch count is limited.

As an aside, Henig did all he could. He broke his collar bone, got plates and came back after four weeks only to get his plates pulled out. It's not his fault. It's Croom's. He should have never been offered. Dirty Mike had stones.

And a blown call like that could have cost Bama the game against Florida today. Auburn could have beat Penn State. Clemson could have beat Georgia week 1.

all of them have pretty good QBs and played well.

I can’t believe we get Henig hate to this day. The dude played hard on some of the suckiest teams to exist in college football. He was one of like 4 or 5 QBs to beat Bama in my lifetime. (1993).

Graham Harrell threw it 72 times in a Texas Tech win over Oklahoma In 2007. Was that absurd? Sure got the job done.

Yes.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Henig didn't beat bama in 1993 or are you saying you were born in 1993?

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Who threw that 40 yard pass then? Back up QB ?

 

[Dawg_4_lifes]

You should’ve stopped with the title. There is no but.

That 40-yard pass looked like a punt. I don't know why people are defending his arm strength. It is objectively not there. Just because you can heave a ball 40 yards with everything you have doesn't mean you have the ability to throw a college level pass that doesn't get your WR murdered on the field. He doesn't have it.
