Mitch Evans is still reliable but he probably isnt up to being the number 1 target at the moment.

 

[ThePiombino]

Cant we conclude that as Leonard beat him out for the starting position that Angeli is a worse passer?

Not a chance Angeli is a worse passer. I don't even like Angeli.

RL sucks, bring in Minchey. Freeman needs to be gone.

 

[T-Boone]

Putting in a true frosh QB with this OL in a losing game would be a massive risk.

I think the Oline has been okay.

This board at halftime was what I expected.

I think RL 100% starts the 2nd half. I also think he's got to be on a short leash. Not only are his passes bad, but despite his athleticism, he's actually limiting MD and the offense.

Good teams have bad/sleepy first halves every year, even championship quality rosters. They usually pour it on in the 2nd half though. Let's hope that's what we see here.

So all is well?

There's no excuse for this. I hope I eat my words. But this is Marshall all over again. Just put Carr in now. Leonard can't make a pass downfield. It's really pathetic for a "Heisman and 1st round potential qb". I don't even know who to blame, because this game has been such a shit show. In every way.

Riley has had time he just can't see the field and throws a poor ball.

Greathouse reminds me of Brayden Lenzy.

No, we're losing

All he needs to do is toss a few deep balls to get the safeties out of the box.
He throws horizontal passes.

He’s wise beyond his years.

Lenzy was much faster

 

[T-Boone]

WHats happened to KK Smith (is that his name)? He is meant to be fast.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Not sure I see a road to a win here unless we can win the line of scrimmage. They are pushing our defensive front 4-5 yards off the ball. We can’t get any holes without and hold being called.

Tell him to start watching the lacrosse team!

Sure, but who's slinging passes?

I figure they go run heavy, with a couple key completions. But I'm an optimist

But all I see are receivers no more than 18 yards downfield. There's no spacing. It's so frustrating.

Who’s the deep threat? Greathouse dropped the ball. We don’t have Will Fuller. Mitchell is a disappointment imo. I think Love and Price need to be on the field at the same time.

It doesn't matter how fast he is when all he will catch is a screen pass that the defense knows is coming.

Gents - It's a 1 possession game... 30 minutes more to play - have faith in MFMF and the Irish... Let's go!!!

If he doesn’t start. It’s because his left shoulder got injured on that backwards throw.
Let’s hope that’s not the case

 

[ACamp1900]

Reading through,… it was fluky but it’s still a reality. Those questioning our coaches and QB are way more in line with reality than those laughing it off. This needs to be a 28 point half but I don’t see how this offense can do it. Any questions of Freeman, RL or anyone else is valid until it’s proven otherwise. Time to shut up or put up. We don’t have time.

 

[Terry Jillery]

I’d also like to see Collin’s get more short screens. He’s a good after catch player.

Haha it's still harder to be a fan of 98% of other programs

He doesn’t need to complete them. Just the threat will force the defense to defend the whole field.

Targeting Collins more in general would be nice.
