JT did look good, but it;s against UNLV, who is clearly terrible. I still will give JT credit and hopefully this gets his confidence up going forward.

That being said, this is what we all knew would happen. He would look good against bums that we play in this stretch, but to me I still don't feel he is the guy who could lead us to a Big Ten Playoff win or shot at the CFB playoff. I would love to be wrong, I love the guy and what he has done at OSU, but this to me is likely false hope coming out. I really hope I am wrong, and I will gladly eat crow if he goes onto play great football the rest of the way this year.

Agreed. JT looked pretty damn good overall...

I don't think JT has ever had a problem looking great against bad teams, and this is as bad a team as we've played in many years. I will always have concerns about him against better defenses. The arm strength/accuracy just isn't there, and he's never been decisive enough under duress, leading to him often holding onto the ball for far too long.

Anyway, not gonna beat that dead horse any further. Let's get 70/700 today.

Apparently Michael Drake is interviewed on 97.1 The Fan during halftime of every football game. I didn't check the radio during halftime of the OU game but he's been on for each of the other three games. I can't think of anyone I'm less interested in hearing from during the game. The result is I'm not listening to the radio during halftime anymore. I used to like to do that.

I agree for the most part... if we throw this much then yeah I still think we struggle against PSU. We need to run the ball more with JT and use his strengths with RPO as well as zone read. This game plan we have today would be a bad idea playing PSU or the other schools who play defense
