Buchner threw well. No problem with his arm. Terrible protection, no running game, bad

play calling. Why Rees was calling for those long outs to WRs against what will be NFL CB's from Marshall that were playing up on the WRs is beyond me.

Game 1 was his first start against the current #2 team in the country. Game 2 was with no running game, no protection and against outstanding cover corners along with a WR group that was a disaster at that point in the season. No Jayden Thomas. No Merriweather. No Colzie. Salerno was a starter at that point. It's really tough to judge Buchner based on that.

Buchner has a cannon, is tall enough to see the field, has shown great touch on deep balls. We will have to see what he looks like given the much, much better situation he'd be in if he gets healthy enough to play in the bowl game.
