I absolutely agree that Taysom has made strides as a passer, BUT THIS WAS 3 QTRs
We are judging the improvement of Taysom Hill as a passer, on 3 QTRs of one game?

Do you know what Nebraska's Pass Defense ranked last year? Let me help you out, HORRIBLE. 121 of 127 in Passing Yards Allowed (290.5 yds per game)

I LOVE Taysom as much as anybody else. But come on people, you can't take 3 QTRs of a game as enough of a sample size to predict how someone will play. NOBODY does this but fans with (blue) goggles on. NFL scouts won't do it, College Coaches our recruiting won't do it, but we as fans will?

Taysom will have this year to truly prove that his ability to pass is (well) above average. I think that he is, but I'm going to pin it on 3 QTRs of one game against one of the worst Secondary's in the country.
