nothing. it's 2024. HH is our backup QB.
he'll play and play well at some point this season. both Rhule and I trust him to win games when called upon, just like last year.
I've got beers in the fridge that are older than my dog. I tried to kill my liver in my 20's but at 50 the hangovers really aren't worth it.
Now I want to know how old your dog is!?!?
Ratt may have been a 5*, but he had a 5-cent head.
I do not see DR having a pass-happy offense as a Frosh, but maybe a Soph and above (if he is still around). They need the RB's to ground and pound and take the pressure off the O-line. If any QB is in a constant passing situation, they are not effective. I would like to see 60/40 run to pass. I want to see defenses sucking wind in the 4th qtr because they are beat up, not because of chasing receivers. Every team NU plays this year should lose the next week because they are so beaten up.
If they can get a solid running game, the numbers will take care of themselves...

You protect the OL and QB by doing the unexpected, which is throwing on early downs. Given our RB and OL, do you think we are just going to ground and pound against Big 10 defenses, especially without the threat of the QB running?
Looking at our RB vs. WR/TE, you think they are waiting until 3rd and 8 to throw the ball?
If DR has more than..25 designed runs, not counting sneaks, all year, I will be shocked.
One advantage the O-line has now is their age, they are now the senior citizens of the team and that will pay dividends. O-line is a grown-ass man's game. 23-24 year old muscle is much stronger than 19-20 year old muscle. If they constantly put DR in predictable passing situations, he will not have great success. The RBs are still an unknown quantity; they have been injured and have not been able to find any type of rhythm. Pass on first down, run on third down, use a fricken screen pass, but be unpredictable. The only way to get good at running the ball is to RUN THE DAMN BALL! You can't try to do it for three or four series and then abandon it...
I think he’ll average 2 a game, but the variable is staying healthy enough to play all 12 games.
checking in on these with 4 games to go
DR's current stats & pace:
Passing Yards - 1,744, on pace for 2,616 - UNDER pace, but close
Passing TDs - 9, on pace for 14 - pacing way UNDER
Rushing Yards - -58, on pace for -87 - pacing way, way UNDER
Rushing TDs - 0, on pace for 0 - pacing way, way UNDER
at this point, DR will need to pick up his TD passing pace in order to simply match the 16 scores we threw for last season.

Looks like he will hit the under on my INT per game prediction but I didn’t expect him to abandon throwing deep 50/50 balls like he has. I had him at 1.6 per game. He did his best against IU to try to make me look good.
I have to check but I know I did unders in rushing yards...but I think I also took over in passing yards.
He’s had time to throw but has been very cautious.
