        Your first post was about a specific play - wrdomerson - 9:24pm 9/28/22
        We were much improved against a suspect team - WoodstockIrish - 8:17am 9/29/22
        I agree with you that this team still has some things to improve upon - wrdomerson - 4:35pm 9/29/22

  - Was that when he was squatting 10 yards off the LOS? - AlbanyIRISH - 1:49pm 9/26/22
    - Yep, and his partner Clarence Lewis got beat deep, too. What else is new about that? [NT] - Irishize - 1:51pm 9/26/22
      - Don't hang that on Lewis.He just tried to cover his teammate's responsibility.Hopefully Hart learned - BaronVonZemo - 5:48pm 9/26/22
        Check the film. Lewis was beaten like a drum. No excuses. Ok. St. replay for him. [NT] - Irishize - 5:55pm 9/26/22

What we need to see moving forward... - Jetman424 - 9:51am 9/26/22 (24) [View All]

      - That’s the spirit. Accept reality for what it is - a big unknown. [NT] - LanceManion - 9:40pm 9/25/22

The Defense is terrible. They are giving up 22.25pts per game. Sooo bad. (took off the pick 6 pts) [NT] - oldirish - 8:47pm 9/24/22 (3) [View All]

DID YOU KNOW: PYNE 2 Games - 41/57 (72%) - 5 Passing TDs - 439yds - 10.71 yds / pass - oldirish - 8:42pm 9/24/22 (13) [View All]
- You know it is kind of funny. Pyne was a 4 star and Book was a 3 star. Pyne is not as good as Book - THEISMANCARR - 12:01am 9/25/22
- For a guy making 2nd start, he is looking pretty good [NT] - DakIrish - 9:46pm 9/24/22
  - Can't argue with that. [NT] - Chrisb - 9:58pm 9/24/22
- After the first qtr of Cal, he's been doing a pretty nice job with the limited and easier stuff they - tky21 - 9:23pm 9/24/22
  - Much like Cal game be started off poorly in this game as well - WoodstockIrish - 10:05pm 9/24/22
    - I was worried early but his scramble played turned the whole thing around. Mayer made some tough - THEISMANCARR - 12:03am 9/25/22
  - "the limited and easier stuff" really only pertains to the Cal game - Chrisb - 9:48pm 9/24/22
  - There was nothing limited. He just executed and everything opened up. He gets better every quarter. - oldirish - 9:44pm 9/24/22
    - In the Cal game it was, Big Time! Vast majority of his throws in that game - Chrisb - 9:57pm 9/24/22
      - Yes that is right. I was referring to today's game. [NT] - oldirish - 10:20pm 9/24/22
- He makes quick decisions seems like a gamer [NT] - ndphysics - 8:45pm 9/24/22

I hope to hell that Rees keeps those few pages of Chip Long's playbook that he used today. [NT] - oldirish - 8:28pm 9/24/22 (0) [View All]

Wisconsin might be the most overrated program of the last decade [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:17pm 9/24/22 (3) [View All]
- Outside of tOSU, which is a legit top 3 program, the entire Big Ten is overrated. [NT] - tky21 - 9:24pm 9/24/22
  - Michigan and Penn State are overrated too but sadly undefeated. I hope they get theirs soon. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:05am 9/25/22
- They weren't even ranked. [NT] - NDavenue - 8:25pm 9/24/22

Pyne's passing efficiency in two starts is 165.6 - MarkHarman - 7:58pm 9/24/22 (22) [View All]
- A running attack does wonders for a QBs rating. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:06am 9/25/22
- What is somewhat surprising is that Maye had a higher QB rating today...although he was - nddad98 - 8:45pm 9/24/22
  - ^^^^This [NT] - oldirish - 10:22pm 9/24/22
- Nice. His capabilities better align with our talent & force Reese to call a more appropriate game [NT] - LanceManion - 8:07pm 9/24/22
  - Makes sense [NT] - MarkHarman - 8:40pm 9/24/22
  - Yes. [NT] - oldirish - 8:27pm 9/24/22
- For sure. So what the defense wasn’t very good. - ndphysics - 8:01pm 9/24/22
- I'd pay money to have seen him play in the OSU and Marshall games. Just poor coaching choice. [NT] - oldirish - 7:59pm 9/24/22
  - I'd like to have seen our OLine and running game play like that against OSU or Marshall. I'd like - tky21 - 9:29pm 9/24/22
  - But...but...board know-it-alls said the coaches see them every day in practice - MarkHarman - 8:02pm 9/24/22
    - Sorry, I like Pyne but I think you guys underrate Buchner. He had little to no protection and - THEISMANCARR - 12:12am 9/25/22
      - Buchner reminds me of the kid who went to KS with Weis - LanceManion - 11:05am 9/25/22
      - I thought a year ago Pyne was better than Buchner...and Coan, too - MarkHarman - 12:31am 9/25/22
        I thought the same and still think Pyne should have started over Coan. [NT] - oldirish - 7:00pm 9/25/22
    - Coaches fall in love with the idea of a player rather than reality - LanceManion - 8:15pm 9/24/22
      - This is my biggest complaint [NT] - oldirish - 8:26pm 9/24/22
        They also recruit these kids and there’s probably a pride point at play - LanceManion - 8:32pm 9/24/22
        Yep. You're right. [NT] - oldirish - 8:34pm 9/24/22
    - So true. [NT] - oldirish - 8:07pm 9/24/22
    - Practice players don't always translate to game players [NT] - bobdrake - 8:05pm 9/24/22
      - So true [NT] - LanceManion - 8:10pm 9/24/22
      - We've definitely seen our fair share of annointed practice stars that falter in the games. [NT] - oldirish - 8:07pm 9/24/22

- Careful. Accurate might trigger some on this board. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 8:21pm 9/24/22
- He seemed like the better choice even last year. Glad he’s improving. - LanceManion - 8:04pm 9/24/22
- Yep. Your two middle sentences are where eveyone keeps making mistakes. [NT] - oldirish - 8:01pm 9/24/22
- Agree. I've always been optimistic about him [NT] - MarkHarman - 8:00pm 9/24/22
  - Same. It's amazing to read the naysaying and excuses why Pyne shouldn't be the guy. Shocking. [NT] - oldirish - 8:06pm 9/24/22
  - He stepped up today when he had to, and that’s what counts. [NT] - garryowen - 8:03pm 9/24/22
