While I have been rooting for Pyne, I have concluded he is your standard "backup QB." Backup QBs are almost always a fan favorite, but there is there is a reason why they are the "backup QB." . They show glimpses of a being top performing QB but most cannot maintain that level of performance. This is my take on Pyne; and I am not sure that Buchner is that top QB performer based on what I have seen when he is on the field. After watching the Oregon v Washington game Saturday night - teams led by Bo Nix and Michael Penix - both proven portal transfers QBs. IMO if either of them were ND's QB this year our offense would be significantly better. I am hoping ND finds a similar proven QB in the portal this off season otherwise we may find next year that we are still looking for a top performing QB....
