I opened this thread and saw a post saying that this should be the easiest win of the year. It is not. That person is wrong.

We destroyed Utah last year and dominated Michigan State this year.

I thought we'd be further along too, but we were pretty low when he got here. And we're building in the right places (OL, DL).

Utah was not a good team last year. They got absolutely murdered by all 3 good teams they played. Overated all year long and it showed in the end.

And MSU? The team we killed and who didn't score a TD in a 21 point loss to Nebraska?

I'm not a fossil, but I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that Hotlz didn't have NEAR the talent this team does in his first 2 years. Also, college football has changed big time. Coaches are making an immediate difference compared to 20 years ago. See, Chip Kelly in 2nd year at Oregon and a bunch of other 2nd year guys.

It's better to remain silent and be though ignorant than to speak up and remove all doubt.


Heisman Winner Tim Brown ring any bells?

Steve Beurlein, an ND All-Time Top 10 Passing QB.

John Carney perhaps the Best ND All-Time Kicker.

Stonebreaker and Bolcar backups.

A freshman QB named Rice didn't play.

Holtz won a NC in 3 years with that nucleus and he did it without JUCOs. Check the Oregon roster. Auburn's roster. Alabama's roster.

LOL@you thinking that Kelly can't evaluate a QB unless the guy plays in a live game. Again, to quote an old man not named Mike, "There's a good f*cking reason that Kelly is the coach and you aren't!"

LOL @ you for thinking Rees is worth a damn as a QB.

Guess what, I just won the LOL @ you battle.

We havent seen anybody else. Crist got ONE HALF of football this year coming back from a knee injury and was benched for putting up a half of football comparable to what rees did today in the first half. Last year Crist was our QB and outplayed Tommy all year, and put up some very good games against some pretty solid defenses. Yes he fumbled one snap against USC that turned out to be a back breaker, but not different than all the INTs tommy has thrown, or the ball coming out of his hand on its own against Michigan.

I think the point your missing is that everybody who criticizes Rees just wants somebody else to GET A CHANCE to run the offense, because right now Rees is NOT getting it done against anything but horrible defenses. Hendrix has looked good in limited duty, and Dayne proved last year he has the ability...but neither one of them has really gotten the chance this year, and Rees' leash is WAY too long with the way he is performing. For all those criticizing Coach Kelly, Nick Saban would have had Rees' as5 on the bench long ago with all these TOs.

I can dig giving someone else a chance. but what if crist underperforms... or has another blunder that costs us a game... what if the offense is so vanilla when Hendrix is in the defense shuts us down... I just wanted to hear your thoughts beyond the "Rees sucks, put someone else in" type posts... cheers homie. nothing but love.

You see what you think you'll see. We have beaten some good teams.
