Seems we do not have a QB who can pass consistently, effectively
- Thread starter stpaulcat
- Start date
Lausch does look like the QB for the future. And we have a very good back up for this year.. Build on that.
We had Duke beaten. except for a brain fart. It is a minor loss. Beat Washington, which is do-able.
Impossible to say, we have only seen a bit of Lausch yet, and Wright was far from our only problem on offense
If Lausch had been able to work out his nerves against Miami, I think NU would have been in a stronger position to beat Duke. And that game went to OT.
Regarding Duke and in fairness to Wright, he got us to 2OT and then blew it in conjunction with the offensive coordinator running two bad plays to close it out. Those two plays told me his YEARS of experience as a starter in multiple games/programs didn't get him ready enough to make us a better middling team than Duke. If Lausch had the start in that game, who knows if we would have even made it to 2OT? Could have also gone the other way and we win outright, but I'm content not agonizing over this one.
I don't believe Wright is as bad as many are making him out to be. I'm rooting for Lausch, but it won't surprise me to see Wright out there again, and not in garbage time.
"Bad" is a relative term. I expected better as a hired gun out of the portal - especially since he's coming in after Ramsay and Bryant, so we know what's out there and what we're capable of acquiring. Wright is a very experienced player, so to see the botches we saw vs. Duke which effectively cost us the game, the criticism is warranted.
Only three games into the season...so, lots of football left to play.
The portal can be a crap shoot at the level NU tries to get, It is much harder for us to get our guy than most anyone else. Not gonna really get the top talent so best we can do is try to get the right fit and sometimes you do (Ramsey and Bryant) and sometimes you don't HJ and Hillinski)
