Just want to say the xichgan game plan was probably fine, except for some reason we didn't have a competent backup QB... I really hope Kenholtz is legit, cause I can't watch another "The Game" with a concussed qb.

The scUM game plan was not "probably fine". We did the exact same stupidity that caused USC and Minnesota to lose to them in the end as well. We played into their literal one glaring strength by constantly trying to run right into their 2 first round DTs.

Not afraid at all. I would be more afraid if it were an old RB doing the calling. Seriously, if Hartline goes 70% passes with that WR room, would we be disappointed?

I dont expect anything like that because he has plenty of experienced guys to lean on and the talent will dictate the day.

I would be. Balance is still critical, even with all the receiving weapons, especially with a brand new QB.

Hartline can call whatever he wants and it will work 95% of the time against our schedule. We need that joker to call an even better 5% when the chips are on the line against a stud team. Chip, during the playoffs, went savage mode. For that…I thank him.

So yes, that is my worry, the 5% and we will see the 5% right out of the gate.

Yeah I get the concern over the new coordinators though. There’s going to likely be growing pains because of how much talent we lost. Just have to hope we don’t lull too much and we learn from mistakes quick.

I think we matchup very well vs Texas to be honest.

The new coordinators could actually be to our favor with it being the first game of the season. Can't wait for the game to be played. Go Bucks!

What has me confused is arch being tabbed as the best QB in college football. He might be good but wtf is that? I get it’s likely due to his name but I just don’t get that.

He’s got 4 new starters up front, lost his three best WRs and his best RB yet he’s so kind of QB gift from heaven after having played back up snaps as a gadget QB for 2 years?

I don’t get his hype and man I’m tired of hearing about Texas being a given proven thing. Why is no one accounting for all the starters they lost? They may have lost more than we have.

Agreed! Typical hype machine. Though I do expect that he's a really good QB. But as you said, losing four starting OL, especially with it bei g the first game of the season, is really going to be a challenge for their Offense, IMHO.
