QB Cardale '12 Gauge' Jones (B1G Champion, National Champion)

[HorseshoeFetish]

A very nice night in limited action for my main man Cardale. 5 rushes, 52 yards, 10.4 yard per carry average. He wasn't playing school out there last night.

If I'm being brutally honest, and admit that I'd probably do the same exact thing, I thought he was a little selfish or just a little immature last night. He looked a little disturbed at the idea of punting with a big lead, and he didn't really seem like he had any interest in giving the ball to anyone else. I'll admit that one run was pretty sweet but that's just a quick gut reaction to what limited time I saw of him. It's certainly nothing that another year of maturity won't fix IMO.

Would've liked to see a few short passes, like slants or screens. But was fine with his runs. He's a big bruiser.

I am guessing Herman called those plays..no read involved..run out clock No Turnpvers

I think the TV would have showed Urb going nuts if the calls were not from Herman. I gotta love that the film shows big man will always be running the ball at the end and PSU still could not stop him. He must have vision or something.

3 QB's in the game on one play? That would be funny.

Only if Dontre is lined up at QB. I wonder is that would cause a defensive timeout?

First play of the 3rd quarter, try to make them burn a time out, or they can likely get burnt down the field. Certainly is an interesting thought...

Agreed. Lacks on the read option. I felt bad for Rod when Cardale gave him the ball to get trucked immediately.

Cardale, Cardale, Cardale.
The QB who will lead us to the 2015 national title! Another splendid, Garbage time performance, 6.0 yards per carry, and both passed hit his receivers in the hands.

 

[BUCKYLE]

All he does is win games.

Wow, Cardale threw two passes and completed one:

If you massage the drop pass, that is two for two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Albeit, not statistically significant.

A learning experience so that it does not happen as often next year should Braxton get hurt!

I understand that. I thought he looked more comfortable yesterday and read things better.

Free video per the Scout board, of Cardale at the post Spring game news conference. From watching the Spring Game, I'm of the opinion, Cardale has to improve his accuracy,
and learn to put some "touch" on his passes. Arm strength is not an issue with this young man. I can't remember an OSU QB with arm strength like his?
