- 1-2 probably yes, 0-3 no.NT ND521 3:37pm · 9/26/22
- You gotta ask yourself ... would we have beaten Cal with a Buchner led offense? GaSubwayIrish 3:10pm · 9/26/22
  - We have no way of knowing the answer wrdomerson 3:16pm · 9/27/22
  - Yes. Probably wouldn't have been close.NT tky21 7:15am · 9/27/22
  - We would have beaten them easier than we did.NT THEISMANCARR 7:04pm · 9/26/22
    - Exactly, and there's no reason to think Buchner wouldn't have been as successful vs UNC's defense.. Chrisb 7:57pm · 9/26/22
      - Agree 100%, but I don't like the way Buchner is getting hammered here. Only reason I said something.NT THEISMANCARR 6:43pm · 9/27/22
        
        And just like you have an opinion so do we WoodstockIrish 8:13am · 9/28/22
      - Correct. Pyne is the guy we have right now and we support him.NT Frank L 8:26pm · 9/26/22
- Yes ndunabomber 12:05pm · 9/26/22
- Definitely. It's clear that the staff (both last year and this year) have a far higher opinion of tky21 11:49am · 9/26/22

    - What evidence do you have that he’s any better than Hendrix or Holiday?NT holybull101 10:37pm · 9/26/22
    - What upside? WoodstockIrish 4:39pm · 9/26/22
    - So much wrong here with this logic. oldirish 3:52pm · 9/26/22
      - You're smart enough to see that he had no help in those first two games. Protection was horrible and THEISMANCARR 7:06pm · 9/26/22
        
        Is it that he "wasn't allowed" or that "he couldn't" I see this excuse thrown around a lot. oldirish 10:07pm · 9/26/22
        
        Why does nobody understand the concept of a QB that can complete passes changes how a defense attack GaSubwayIrish 10:24pm · 9/26/22
        
        He still only completed 50ish% of his passes rendering the offense one dimensional GaSubwayIrish 9:19pm · 9/26/22

- Would he have beaten Cal in your hypothetical?NT TakethetrainKnute 9:26am · 9/26/22
  - Even had he lost to Cal, they'd have started Buchner. They don't have a high opinion of Pyne.NT tky21 11:50am · 9/26/22
    - Disagree, that would have been a must win for Buchner.NT THEISMANCARR 7:08pm · 9/26/22
    - Sorry, don't believe that. Freeman would have been in a very tough place at 0-4, 0-3 on the season.NT TakethetrainKnute 12:08pm · 9/26/22
      - That doesn't mean bench the starting QB. This team (and QB) goes as the OL goes.NT tky21 1:53pm · 9/26/22
        
        May not mean it...but, in my humble opinion, that is what would have happened.NT TakethetrainKnute 1:58pm · 9/26/22
        
        The only way it is as bad as the first two games is if the OL played that bad. The way the OL tky21 2:49pm · 9/26/22
        
        Or did the OL play better because the box wasn't stacked to stop the run? GaSubwayIrish 3:13pm · 9/26/22
        
        So a less mobile QB made the opposing team stack the box less? That makes no sense. Nothing about tky21 3:47pm · 9/26/22
        
        I’m not saying the OL didn’t improve. But OSU obviously game planned to stop Buchner and ND from GaSubwayIrish 9:12pm · 9/26/22
        
        Why would you not game-plan to stop a running QB?NT GaSubwayIrish 9:09pm · 9/26/22
        
        55% passing versus 70% passing. Makes a defense change a little.NT GaSubwayIrish 9:07pm · 9/26/22
