[QUOTE="Twangers, post: 1482909, member: 746185"] I agree, this jives with what I’m seeing on tape. So there’s no confusion, this is another equal blame situation where Brandon needs to own his role in these shaky performances. That ball to Barker in the 4th quarter last night is a ball a high end Big Ten QB needs to essentially put in there 100 times out of 100 and Brandon threw it at his feet. That’s on him. That said, Rod is asking him to do some things that are extremely difficult not just for Brandon but for a lot of college QBs (And a lot of college OLs but ours especially). We’re trying to drive the ball outside the hashes way too much. Those throws are so difficult and are rarely disguised well, Brandon has seen multiple DBs flip and jump his balls because they’re very easy to diagnose. It’s clear to me through 4 games that Rod has not figured out how to best utilize his signal caller. And that’s not good in a sport where the entire regular season is only 12 games long. [/QUOTE]
