I saw Miami and BG both play last weekend. Both have better QBs.
BTW everyone, Miami played great against a bigger and faster CSU team. They made plays, they caught passes and generally executed a good game plan. I could write the same thing about BG against Marshall. Both had big and early leads like we could have had...like we had against GW until we choked it away. Both of these teams played non-bcs D-1A schools and won. They have no different physical abilities than the Zips....same size, same speed, our QB actually has a stronger arm than either. The only difference is they make plays. Both games were entertaining to watch because both teams were relatively equally matched and the best team that day won. My God, why are we playing three BCS teams in the same year. We are just stupid. We should be playing teams like CSU, Marshall, Tulsa, ECU, New Mexico, etc.
Are those better QB's true Sophs?
BG's Matt Schilz is a true FR and Miami's Zac Dysert is a true SO.
I'll admit, Skip's early concerns about PN7 seem to have some validity. But I think we need to stick with him, at least over the next three games. IF he shows any improvement in this stretch, I think it bodes well for the remainder of the season. If not........then I'm not against a change. I will say this, though. The next three defenses the Zips face are better than some are giving credit. IU will be big and athletic. NIU always plays excellent D under Kill (hope he's OK, BTW). And while we all hate to give K.E.N.T. any credit, their defense is a VERY good MAC defense this year.
