for that one year, then gone, when as it turns out all it did was delay opportunities for QB’s on the roster to gain experience. As I remember it, Coan was going to lead ND to a championship when his numbers and obvious visuals were that of a so-so QB.
But yeah, Hartman is better than Coan but still with not so great stats - who needs to learn an entirely new offense.
Now to Buchner - he came back from an injury and helped win a bowl game. The D held until Buchner got his confidence who then showed he can move the Offense, he showed he is a leader at QB. He can make all the throws. Yes he had one bad pick in a play call that shouldn’t have been called (that’s on Rees).
Freeman is making Kelly like mistakes. Hartman is a one and done which means ND won’t have an experienced QB when Hartman is gone. Back to square one, again.
If Hartman had 2 or 3 years of eligibility I wouldn’t have as much of an issue but 1 N done just doesn’t cut it.
