Is this another one of your innocent pure questions? Are you aware there are other plays besides throwing in football? Have you heard of someone say that three things could happen when you throw ...

is it 1962? are we running 3 yards and a cloud of dust?

the current offense is pretty pass happy. the goal when Fahey got in the game was kill the clock and keep the ball away from Indiana, which requires first downs. to just expect first downs to happen without passing is foolish. being impressed by spiking a ball 7 feet in front of a WR is foolish. not having a backup QB capable to run your offense is foolish.

other teams can have their backup come in and not look like he's wearing a blindfold. that's apparently too much to ask at Ohio State. I expect he will look a lot better with 2 weeks of prep with the 1s against a defense that doesn't have 27 year old almost NFLers......but I'm allowed to be disappointed with what he showed against Indiana, and questioning why a QB would throw the ball in this offense is dumb, to me. He should be prepared better than to not expect him to throw the ball. If we are afraid of our QB throwing the ball, what are we even doing?

It’s just a terrible situation to be thrown into with this OL and these RB’s.

Fahey isn't Braxton or anything, but he's got at least ok running ability and has already shown that he is willing to take off. They need to leverage that properly; the threat of a QB running can open up more for the rest of the offense.

Yep. I think we are underestimating how much easier it will be for Bo to break some big ones with a qb that WILL pull it if its the right play.

Yeah right, sunshine. You expecting a backup to come in and operate like a starter is not foolish at all. Even Julian only barely completed half of his passes against that defense. The verdict on Fahely is not in yet. Forgive me for not joining your doom party.

I read this as you saying the coaches didn’t have him ready to go.

Go ahead and point out where I said he needed to operate like a starter, sunshine. I'll wait.

They have 2 weeks to come up with something. I think a more spread type offense can work really well with Fahey's skill set.

They just need to create plays that allow him to keep the team on schedule.

High percentage throws, QB designed runs, and the WR's get shorter routes good for YAC.

This is not a great time for adjustments.

I have already written off the natty, and will be happy with a win over Scum, so anything more will be a happy surprise.
