Scrimmage 2 notes

Fine, let me rephrase (which you knew this is what I was getting at originally).

What is HH's record after playing Minnesota, Colorado, Maryland, Wisconsin and Iowa?

What is Purdy's record after playing Northern Illinois, LaTech, Illinois, Northwest and Purdue?

purdy proved to be a me-first loser. simple as that.

he'd have found a way to lose to ILL or NW or Purdue or all 3.

HH would've beaten MD had he stayed healthy. probably would've given us a better chance against iowa, too, assuming Rhule gets a do-over there, also.

no player is overcoming Rhule's ineptitude in the MN or CO games.

It's not emotional to think logically.

you don't have to explain the transitive property to me.

it's a data point relevant to your question. that's all.

An answer filled with emotions and feelings only.

No. Pretty straightforward answer to your hypothetical.

Losers lose, winners win.

We weren’t beating wisc, but it may not have been as close without Chubba’s little scoot.

What’s emotional about that?

In each of the ILL, NW and Pur games, HH made the play that won it for us.

25 yrd TD run, option pass and option pass

Those games were over as soon as those plays were made. We weren’t losing no matter how hard we tried (and we tried).

Purdy doesn’t make those plays. He can’t. If he could’ve, he would’ve. He had a ton of chances and went 0-fer. Makes losing plays instead.

Just a fact.

Glad HH is on the team.

Glad HH is not the starter.

Glad Purdy is no longer taking up a scholarship. Hope he does well where he landed.

Really not harder than that.

No

you would have to use him several times with a similar appearing pass to the flat or a jet sweep with him to make a gadget double pass work with him IMO... You would have to set it up. Then tell him only throw it if the receiver is wide open,

Maybe the old Eric crouch down sideline play ONLY if wide open 🤔

It's hilarious to think that was the ONLY way to beat those teams. Also, those 3 did not have good defenses.

Yes, Purdy had a ton of chances, but a ton of chances against much better defenses.

Back to my question. I think HH beats Minnesota & possibly Colorado. He loses to Maryland, Wisconsin & Iowa.

Purdy beats Illinois, NW, Purdue amd of course LaTech & Northern Illinois. I'd argue we beat Maryland with Purdy. He almost pulled it off despite the 4 turnovers before he came in for 1 series.

Season hinges on OL. Can we get 4 yards when we need it? Can we keep our prodigy upright? That’s it. Those questions need to be answered “yes” for every team we play outside of OSU.

And when he gets hurt from the “OSU” team, what happens then? Does uncle get his ass kicked by brother, HCMR, nephew??? Does HH come in and take over?? So many questions…
