shoelaces is a much, much better fit for the kind of offense they want to run...tater actually hinders it a bit. Now, the big question is how much of a tangible improvement did denard make since last year. scUM-centric reports would have you believe he's now a faster version of Pat White. Unfortunately for them, that's just unrealistic. He was awful, and I mean awful throwing the ball last season. Coould he have improved substantially? Sure, he almost had to given how bad he looked last year. But, to expect the kind of leaps they are is just silly.
1.) All of those impressive performances this spring/summer were against what might arguably be the worst defense in the Big 10...probably one of the worst in the country. 2.) He did a majority of it against their even more putrid 2nd/3rd string...which is full of freshman/scrubs/walk ons and 3.) QBs don't get touched in those situations. So what do we really know about him? We know that he can loook pretty good in controlled scrimmages where he isn't getting hit against a gaggle of never-have-beens and never-will-be's.
