Drew Pyne. A complete mediocrity. He overthrew Merriweather on what would have been a TD. How many times did he miss a wide open Mayer? I counted three.
This isn't on Rees or the offensive scheme. It was lack of execution, particularly by the mediocre QB. Other aspects of the ND effort can be justly criticized, but Pyne was far and away the reason ND lost this game.
- An over-reliance on Mayer.
- Tobias Merriweather looks unguardable, and.Jason Garrett said he's not guardable in practice, either. Why is he not getting tons of playing time and tons of targets?
- Keep running into defenses bent on stopping the run.
- No throws over the middle to moving receivers.
- No slants, ever.
- Totally predictable playcalling.
13 years have those same comments been made?
The system is the system, is the system..... the plays are the plays, are the plays.......
It's like BK never left. Another DC sending out post game thank you cards to ND's OC.

At best he’s a game manager who isn’t gonna make that many big plays downfield. Rees game plan also horrible.

Lots of problems that I got to sit through 4 quarters of. Having zero points at half wasn’t heartening.
The OC did his job more often than not (i.e. getting the primary target open). Execution has become a bad word around here, but it's still paramount.
Figuratively…of course.

I suggest you look at Pyne's post-game press conference. He agrees with me so excuse me if I'm not worried about your 2c.
If these dudes need to execute better, then quit talking about it and do it. Your playing Marshall and Stanford, not Tennessee.
