Exclude that. He still had one beautiful long pass that wasn't caught that was

6 if he catches it.

No question there are plenty of problems on the passing end; but the problem on the receiving end is a bigger problem tonight. 7 drops; 2 of them were TDs if caught; 4 more were 1st downs (and 3 of them dropped on 3rd down). When the QB is struggling, the WRs have to help him out. He made some plays with his legs tonight; the WRs have to make plays with their hands.

For everyone saying that Tanner would do better, don't be so naive. They still

That's the point, what they are doing isn't working why not try something else

I know and agree, but some people are convinced that he would no doubt do better

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TAYSOM, but I may finally have to CONCEDE with some who

Didn't you see Tanner beat Michigan by himself last yr?

You post this a lot. Stop using one bad game where they held our receivers tons.

That's what we are all saying. Give him a shot.

I guarantee Tanner would get rid of the ball much quicker. There were numerous

Tanner actually had a problem with holding onto the ball too long.

Was going to post the same thing. I think he'd learn quicker this year to get

Which is expected for a Freshman. I think he would be better in his second

That's when opposing QBs have success. Why can't our receivers get open?

Our WRs problems start with the QB, not the other way around (despite the missed

They may start there, but they don't end there.

I disagree. Drops tonight that would have directly been 3 TDs.Two on perfectly

Your inclusion of the Hail Mary shows your desperation.

Defender made a play. Nick needed to secure it better, no doubt.

Nope. Just watched that play again to make sure but the defender barely brushes

Lol.

Except Kurtz has never really proven he can be a deep threat.

NashEquilibrium

10/21/16 2:13am

??? Last year he was clearly our best. Juergens MAYBE excepted.

mantis mutu

Blackmon was better deep

unctoothman

10/21/16 9:15am

Why zilch TDs then? That's boloney. He was terrible running the long sideline

mantis mutu

There is a super secret magic way to see how Tanner would do.

bluesloth

10/21/16 1:20am

I watched Tanner run for his life last year against Boise and still manage

thebruce

10/21/16 1:22am

Agree. Tanner is more elusive than he gets credit for. Obviously not the runner

bluesloth

10/21/16 1:26am

He spent the whole year using his legs to buy time.

That deep ball dropped by Mathews in that game still haunts me

thebruce

10/21/16 1:45am

All due respect, Tanner had a horrible game against Boise. He had an awesome

The Dude Abides

Sounds like Hill this entire year.

10/21/16 1:37am

What it means to me is we had an established offense last year and a brand new

The Dude Abides

10/21/16 1:48am

Exactly my point. For the record, I would have liked to have seen Tanner, but

cougaman

SMH - - why do you think Hine had some big runs???

thebruce

10/21/16 1:43am

And 135 of those yds and both TDs came on the 2 drives he mentioned.

unctoothman

10/21/16 1:51am

If Taysom could have thrown for 2 TD's tonight

thebruce

10/21/16 1:56am

Taysom did throw two TDs tonight. Both were dropped by Kurtz, unfortunately.

The Dude Abides

10/21/16 2:01am

Apparently you can read and comprehend what he could not:

unctoothman

10/21/16 2:03am

You are forgetting the 5 tds Taysom threw tonight where the receivers never got

thebruce

10/21/16 2:03am

You must have watched a different game than I saw. I only saw the two really

unctoothman

10/21/16 2:05am

The one Taysom threw into the blue turf 5 yards in front of moroni

I missed that one as well. Great pick-up.

You're speaking as if those two drops that were sure touchdowns (one actually

The Dude Abides

10/21/16 2:16am

I just think it's silly how far people are willing to go for Taysom.

thebruce

10/21/16 2:26am

You said "if Taysom could have thrown for two TDs tonight". It's a fair argument

The Dude Abides

10/21/16 2:39am

"He wasn't much of a deep threat" except for the 3 passes that went for 205

thebruce

10/21/16 1:58am

There's always two sides to a story. You seem just as "naive" or ignorant.

southernfriedcougar

10/21/16 1:23am

Taysom's legs have also been a problem. Funny how people only think about the

Didn't Tanner learn a new system as well last year? & like 2 mos out of a mish?

Sale

10/21/16 1:27am

Tanner is just a more prototypical qb. But dont forget he didn't have jswagg.
