Trevor, I liked what you said a lot. Regarding the quarterback situation, I wonder what Davis Warren would look like now if we hadn't gone to Alex so quickly. Davis needed to be yanked against Arkansas St., but I firmly believe going to Alex as a starter was a mistake and hurt the offense's development. Based on the stats you cited, I think the continued development of Davis was the best path. You were spot on with the QB issue was only a small part of the offensive issues. They could have called a much more conservative game while allowing him to grow into the position. If he transfers at the end of the season, someone will get a guy with the potential to be a good QB.
I am also in the camp that doesn't believe in the idea of sacrificing this year for a more hopeful next year. That said, I can't help but wonder how much better the QB room would look next year if we had stuck with Davis. I think Tuttle will win a few games for us, but he's leaving, and without some experience behind him, we better get a winner in the portal. The entire premise of this paragraph is that I don't see a cat's whisker difference between Tuttle and Warren, and Warren might actually be the better passer.
Having one coach running the safeties and DBs has come home to roost. These kids are more talented than they are playing, so you have to look at the coaching. Three coaches last year vs one this year speaks volumes.
Again, you are right. This program is now on Moore's shoulders. The decisions he makes from here on out will tell us whether he is or isn't the right guy. This offseason will be the first real litmus test.
Josh, you looked like I felt about this entire season: frustrated! You're right; most of the games are still winnable. Can we get together and do it?
Brock, your stat about teams doubling the score on us in the second half was frightening.
How we win or lose will greatly affect our momentum going into next year. At this point, I'm at 8-4 for the year. Somehow. We beat Oregon but lose to Indiana.
