I'll have to go back and watch it sober but it sure looked like he was stepping into his throws a lot better in the second half instead of his flip off the back foot thing he does.

I think at this point we see his ceiling isn't as high as some of the past and at the same time the OL isn't going to get that much better between now and The Game. This inconsistency is here to stay for 2023 imo.

I'm at the point now where I'm just thrilled this team is even still in the mix on a national level. I would've expected 2/3 losses at this point based on some of the early season returns.

The offense is beyond frustrating, but the defense has the ability to keep them in any game and Kyle has shown he can perform in crunch time. Two things that are likely gonna be huge come November 25th

I honestly believe Michigan would beat OSU if we played next week, maybe we improve (albeit slightly) but sign stealing or not, I think they're just better than us at this point in time. However, we have a (potentially) winning formula as long as the horses stay healthy.

6 weeks ago I figured the bucks had no chance, now I can see a potential light at the end of tunnel.

But also please just fucking beat scUM.

Pretty sure it's a mental thing for Kyle. You're the fucking man here kid, embrace it and act like it.

Has to be. He’s a bale to catch fire in the second half almost every game which means he develops a confidence, that means he’s capable of starting on fire. He can do it it’s just a matter of when he turns the corner.

I’d like to see Day incorporate intermediate passes in the offense earlier in games for this very reason.

Kyle reminds me of Craig Krenzle. Maybe a better thrower but not quite the runner. Somehow is inconsistent but when it matters puts it all together.

That said, Kyle has got to stop with the loose ball handling in the pocket and the grounding calls. He’s going to change a game for the worse one of these games if he doesn’t. The INTS I can live with but has to improve when he gets pressure.

Hopefully this isn’t taken the wrong way but I have doubts he can maximize this offense right now. He’s just not what we are accustomed to at the QB position but that shouldn’t be a surprise I suppose.

Staff needs to do a bit more to get the ball out of his hands faster. Because when he’s back there scanning the field that’s when these panic moments happen.

Just wondering, why you think scUM would beat OSU if they played next week. What team has scUM played that even comes close to resembling OSU, especially on defense? Dominating lower tier teams doesn’t really show how good of a team they are. And their lofty ranking, imo has a lot to do with them also starting at a high ranking. I’m waiting for a test for scUM, as theyre pummeling teams that they have more talent then. They’re essentially getting away with a weak schedule, when OSU gets called out when having similar schedules.

Honestly they simply look more dominant. I don't know if scUM is actually elite but they they've looked much better against bad competition than we have. OSU conversely, is not pummeling teams they have more talent than. Not to mention I don't think they're the best matchup for the Bucks stylistically.

I'll have a better gauge for The Game after scUM and the pedsters finish up but as of now, I absolutely stand by my original statement.

Agreed, it’s just difficult to ignore it haha visible. Not saying we can’t win but they’ve objectively looked better I’ll. Whether we get there is on the players and coaches.
