At least we're not Nebraska

but it was a great hire when he came on and just about everyone recognized it as such. Mike Riley was a head scratcher from Day 1

They should just offer Troy Calhoun what it takes and go back to the last offense that really worked well for them.

If I were Nebraska I'd hire him ASAP. Seriously. He clearly made a difference at UCF, just bring him in.

They need to hit on a guy like that. Frost is their best shot. Riley was... I didn't understand it then and it's falling apart now. 

Good point Faux, this team is being galvanized with these games. At times I feel like this is Hoke era but then you remember how young these cats are and that this coaching staff isn't anywhere close to that Hoke staff. This team will be mean down the road. No doubt. That Higdon run and DPJ punt return brought me back to reality. That shit never happened with Hoke teams unless Denard got loose.

Every QB has a couple misses a game tho. I think he's pressing a bit. Frustration is showing. he wants to make a great play he wants to make the perfect throw. He wants to avoid the pick. The problem is, he's thinking about that stuff at times instead of just playing the game

I think Speight has "I can't throw any more INTs anxiety," and doesn't fully trust his young receivers.

I totally agree. I think this is part of the red zone issue--without deep space everything is compressed, and every throw is into traffic. Speight has made these throws before, but in the games Michigan early the only way Michigan is threatened with a loss is with a bad INT. So he goes cautious. Throwing it away. Throwing a lot of those fades that aren't terribly accurate but are designed in such a way that if his receiver doesn't get it, nobody has a chance at all.

Combine that with receivers that aren't yet as crisp as last year's experienced crew, and their inexperience in getting open when Speight is scrambling, and you have some tough windows.

You're dead on, IMO.

How does playing Air Force not tell you anything about our offense and special teams?  If you said it doesn't tell us anything about our defense you'd have a good case.

Jesus Fricking Christ. 

Let's establish a baseline here. If Zarniwoop faced for thirty seconds what Speight faces every day in practice and on Saturdays, Zarniwoop would defecate in his fucking diaper like a baby in terror and cry for a week afterward.

Is Speight the reincarnation of Tom Brady? No. But neither were John Navarre or Brian Griese until their senior year.

Fuck off with your dumb-ass armchair diagnoses.
