I doubt anyone here will argue with me, that Mike Mayer was in a class all by himself.

The man could fight for receptions even in double coverage, and come away with a reception more often than not. He was the reason why a lot of our WR's last year had single coverage.

If Mayer were here for this season, tOSU and Clemson are easily flipped to victories.

    - False narrative. [NT] - Chrisb - 7:27pm 12/5/23
      - Very little difference between them, Hartman experiment was serviceable, and that is all [NT] - ColeyO - 8:48pm 12/5/23
    - No Mike Mayer this year - ndunabomber - 7:26pm 12/5/23
      - Thx Karnack, did you notice Hartman's favorite target was Mitchell, A TE, before he - ColeyO - 8:49pm 12/5/23
        Evans was good, but he's no Mayer - ndunabomber - 10:08pm 12/5/23
        Didn't say he was Mayer, said Hartman used - ColeyO - 10:23pm 12/5/23
      - Not only that, our OL was good this year but not like HH had them playing last year. [NT] - tky21 - 7:45pm 12/5/23

- He is what he is, not what we hoped,or - ColeyO - 6:17pm 12/5/23
- Yes. We would have lost NC State, Duke, and maybe USC in addition to the games we lost w/ Hartman. - BaronVonZemo - 6:05pm 12/5/23
  - I don't think we would have lost to USC, Hartman didn't do anything in that game... - Chrisb - 7:38pm 12/5/23
    - Don't think ND would have lost to NC ST either, maybe one more win, hardly worth it.. [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 8:05pm 12/5/23
  - TOTALLY AGREE [NT] - NEPA Irish - 6:08pm 12/5/23
- The alternative was Buchner throwing a dozen pick 6s [NT] - holybull101 - 5:39pm 12/5/23
  - Hartman threw 8 interceptions in his last 6 - ColeyO - 6:21pm 12/5/23
    - And Buchner threw 3 Ints in the "best" game he ever had for us... - Chrisb - 7:54pm 12/5/23
      - Bullseye - ndunabomber - 11:53pm 12/5/23
        Possibly, but did he win us any more games ? [NT] - ColeyO - 10:21am 12/6/23
  - Well Hartman had 7 TO's in two games....Cant get much worse [NT] - Rocketman84 - 6:20pm 12/5/23
    - Not to mention his fumbles [NT] - ColeyO - 6:22pm 12/5/23

- I think so. - NDavenue - 5:34pm 12/5/23
