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

Outside of that, Tanner had one pass longer than 12 yards (a 70 yarder to Blackmon), and only 3 over 9 yards. He wasn't much of a deep threat...except for the two INTs he threw. Minus the 2 TD drives and the 70 yarder, he had 104 yards passing. Very pedestrian. The running game wasn't opened up any more by a deep passing game than it was tonight. Difference last year was that Juergens caught 2 TD passes last year and a receiver dropped two tonight. Those catches/drops were the difference in both games.

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

unctoothman

Your inclusion of the Hail Mary shows your desperation.

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

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.

Blackmon was better deep

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

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

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

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

The Dude Abides

Sounds like Hill this entire year.

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

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

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

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