Lausch was too inconsistent and randomly inaccurate to put in an average or better performance, but he did do a lot of things to be built on: he continues to be a good decision maker, a good runner, and a competitor. He delivered some good, catchable balls into tight coverage. It was something to build on for a young player.
The same can’t be said for senior, multi-year starter TEs and WRa who couldn’t catch the ball all game, lines that can’t block, RBs who can’t hold onto the ball, etc. I think everybody obviously agrees the QB needs to be better along with the rest of the offense, but he was far from the worst offender. He was a heck of a lot better than, say, Michigan’s QB on Saturday.
