consistently because of overthrows or underthrows or locking in, but then he'll make a spunkie scramble that really is a key play in a drive. Don't forget the Stanford game, ugly as it was, was blown on Estime's fumble and the blown no call on the fumble that we recovered. Ohio State didn't choke against us and in fact converted on a couple of third and longs, and fourth and longs to beat us. The Marshall game was just stupid ugly.

- If you can upgrade, do it! [NT] - bobdrake - 9:42am 11/25/22
- Personally, I get the "feel" that the team responds best with Pyne. Can't really prove it. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 9:25am 11/25/22
  - On the flip side, seems like Buchner has physical talent but not on-field leadership. Team seems to - jrdjr84 - 11:21am 11/25/22

    - Anyone playing with that awfully-performing offensive line will have leadership issues - ndunabomber - 2:07pm 11/25/22

  - I'm sure they love it when he barely completes 50% of his passes. - AlbanyIRISH - 10:57am 11/25/22
    - 61% YTD, 19 TDs and only 5 INTs - WoodstockIrish - 11:06am 11/25/22

      - Yes. And we really can't rely on Buchner either. So there better be someone else one way or another - tky21 - 10:34pm 11/24/22
- Whatever options that might actually exist in the transfer portal might not even be worth pursuing. - b2runn - 8:29pm 11/24/22
- Buchner is an injury risk, Pyne isn't a starter, that leaves Angeli and Minchey. - iairishcheeks - 7:22pm 11/24/22
  - I agree with this. Only thing we don't know is how good Angeli is. Buchner is an injury risk and - tky21 - 7:45pm 11/24/22
- “Buchner threw well” is the unpopular opinion [NT] - holybull101 - 6:57pm 11/24/22
  - Buchner threw well. No problem with his arm. Terrible protection, no running game, bad - tky21 - 7:16pm 11/24/22
    - You know what they say about excuses... [NT] - oldirish - 9:54pm 11/24/22
    - if he had great touch on the long ball, ND would have beaten Marshall and Styles would have had a TD - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:46pm 11/24/22
      - Geez a lot of long passes by pros and good college quarterbacks are missed long and short. Not as - THEISMANCARR - 11:11am 11/25/22
      - I said he "showed great touch on the deep ball." I didn't say he was automatic. The throw to Lenzy - tky21 - 9:07pm 11/24/22
        Admit it, you have a thing for him - WoodstockIrish - 6:35am 11/25/22
    - Is there another Buchner on the team? - WoodstockIrish - 7:58pm 11/24/22
      - Some things are debate-able, some things are not. The velocity he can put on throws is excellent. [NT] - tky21 - 9:09pm 11/24/22
        Your boy crush is getting embarrassing - WoodstockIrish - 6:37am 11/25/22
        
        Forget velocity, look at his play and his stats, this year and last year. Underwhelming at best. [NT] - NDQuebec - 12:22am 11/25/22
        He has the abilities is the point. He can see and has an arm that can make the throws. Any FBS QB - tky21 - 12:45pm 11/26/22
        
        Here are his stats this year [NT] [LINK] - NDQuebec - 12:22am 11/25/22
    - It sounds like we have the next John Elway, I’m sold, 12-0 [NT] - holybull101 - 7:36pm 11/24/22
      - If he can stay healthy, maybe 12-0. If Angeli is ready to be a good QB2 behind Buchner, I'm fine - tky21 - 7:40pm 11/24/22
- It comes down to this: Pyne is not a starter and simply cannot be the #2 next year. The staff is ex - tky21 - 6:53pm 11/24/22
  - You've now progressed well past die on this hill and are on to, die on this mountain range. [NT] - oldirish - 9:56pm 11/24/22
  - How is it you know so much about Buchner but somehow know nothing about Buchner - WoodstockIrish - 8:02pm 11/24/22
    - Nothing about my post indicates that I "know so much" about Buchner. [NT] - tky21 - 9:02pm 11/24/22
      - Seriously, you literally are fawning all over him and act like you are there with him at practice - WoodstockIrish - 6:40am 11/25/22
        We've not seen Angeli. We've seen Buchner last year and this year and he easily won the QB - tky21 - 5:00pm 11/25/22
        Ok, we agree about one thing.. We’ve seen Buchner, but we haven’t seen Angeli - WoodstockIrish - 5:04pm 11/25/22
  - That sounds like 3 losses [NT] - holybull101 - 6:59pm 11/24/22
    - I don't really know what this means. [NT] - tky21 - 7:18pm 11/24/22
