when Lunney called 3 inside runs on the first 3 plays and Houser’s only chance to make a difference was on a do or die 4th and medium.
Though if I remember right, the part that did bother me about that was that he just forced a 1st read throw to Dixon that wouldn’t have gotten a 1st down even if completed. That gave me some pause when it comes to his instincts and handling of pressure moments. Previous Message
the D got two stops (both three and outs) down by 4 at the end of the game and Houser went INT, turnover on downs. Previous MessagePrevious Message
was there for the taking at the end. The difference between a feel-good 9-10 win team and a team scraping by to get to 6-6 and make a bowl game can be really small, and I would argue that Altmyer was worth 3-4 wins per year each of the last two years. He just made so many clutch plays at the best possible time in games.
Maybe (probably) we'll be worse off without Houser, but I'm excited to see what we can do without him. We were not on a path to be successful with him at QB. Previous Message
Senior Paddock came in and just gripped and ripped it.
Altmyer improved a bunch over his 3 years.
Katin>>>Soph Altmyer. I am skeptical that frosh Clayton with very limited experience will give the same jolt that senior Paddock did.
But Clayton has other skills as well. Hopefully he can develop.
