Do you think Sullivan gets a shot this lost season?
- Thread starter SadCatFan22
- Start date
All of the "good" teams I've seen this year have dual threat quarterbacks. For that matter, so does SIU, who's short QB can both run and throw.
I think Hilinski picked up a first down running the ball against SIU. Maybe the coaches will tell him to start running more in B1G games.
I expect we'll see Sullivan at some point when Hilinski gets dinged up, but not otherwise.

Short of some Hunter Johnson/Duke performance, I doubt it.
I learned a sad lesson. Watching last year's team, thinking "we HAVE to have better linebackers/kickers/QBs/etc than the ones who are playing".
I was wrong.
Edit, to be clear, I am not down on Hilinski. I think he is a decent QB, just answering that I believe Sullivan isn't playing because Hilinski is better.

Hilinski is not our problem. Our problem is our defense (bottom 3 defense in Big Ten). We are the #3 passing offense in the Big Ten behind Purdue and Ohio St.
I think they should start playing some of the freshmen on D like Saka and Soares and see what they can do. We are giving up almost 450 yds a game so it can’t get any worse…

Totally agree. Hilinski is a solid qb in a decent system. The defense is putrid, so giving frosh some playing time if the game is out of reach or the starters aren't getting the job done would be a good idea!
