[QUOTE="Clemillini21, post: 1502811, member: 746229"] *Best QB options for that game. Brandon Peters for one, and then IW, just because he’s an athlete, let him see what he can do while we’re down our top 3 receivers (Bhebe, Sidney, Smalling). Not that it matters, but also throw in that we had no Stampley, Holmes, and Carter at receiver. I did not mention O-line as they surprisingly stayed healthy all year. Hansen leads the nation with 7 forced fumbles, the only other player in the nation with more than 4 is Chase Young (6). Adams missing wasn’t as big of an effect since they gashed us on the ground, but still missed. Please, please, be aware that I am not saying this is why we lost the game. I am simply saying that it’s more of a factor than the “quit blaming injuries” posters give credit, it was not THE reason, but it certainly has a moving effect.
