That’s why family need to stay off of social media because you make things look bad for the athlete involved whether they share your thinking or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully whoever she is (sister or whomever) realizes that she needs to accept the responsibility of being a family member of a P5 QB....just dumb. Tayven played well. What angle besides the obvious is she shooting for with that stuff? I remember Coach Allen saying Tayven and Brendan are tight too on and off the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH…hope people don’t hold it against Sorsby…I’m sure he doesn’t support that nor want that type of attention. Unfortunately she is being really selfish with her feelings…obviously not putting her family member first and thinking about him…this is about her thinking her opinion matters.

But this is no different than anything in the business world. No justification for that post whatsoever. Coach Allen has been extremely humane and exceedingly fair throughout this process.

13th&Jackson Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Jackson named the starter: "Tayven Jackson is going to be our starting quarterback, and excited for the opportunity for him," Allen said. "And excited for Brendan (Sorsby) to be able to be in this role, and together they're going to help us do great things in 2023." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSHoosier Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Just listened to the interview with Tayven. Really confident, yet humble. Another great kid. You really root for young men like Tayven and Sorsby. Really hope this team does well this year, because I can see high school youngsters and transfers wanting to play with these leaders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronkonagurski Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 If the team we saw in the second half of the Louisville game can consistently show up for 60 minutes, I have some cautious optimism about our odds of getting to 6 wins. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Take care of business this week and face the B1G gauntlet from 2-2. Michigan and Penn State can be chalked up as losses. If you pull a massive upset all the better. Essentially have to go 4 of the remaining 6. Can't afford to fall into a lethargic start habit though. That will derail chances quickly. Should be top takeaway for players and coaches from Louisville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I don't agree with, but understand, the ultra-conservative play calling against OSU. But for the love of Barry Switzer, can we please stop running the option! It fools no one, puts Tayven at risk, and gets stuffed almost every time (spoiler alert; qb is keeping because the rb is 2 feet away from him and one defender can take both players). Even the qb draws that aren't usually big gainers serve a purpose to occupy a defender to spy. Throw the ball to our big receivers and tight end, motion Lucas all over the field, and throw swing passes and wheel routes to Henderson. Mix in Turner for runs between the tackles. Play Lucas and Henderson together more to create mismatches. Just please, NO MORE OPTION! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the frustration with the option, but game 3 and Jackson is starting get the feel of the game and the players. I think if he could get an established Option as an "option" in the tool bag, it can be a big thing. I know he is not the fastest for the option, but could work at times in certain situations with more practice. I'm feel as the OL and Jackson get more comfortable and consistent, we can eventually see success. I agree with you that we need to get more of our tight ends involved....JMO Edited September 18, 2023 by Artesian_86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100 percent…Jackson is to slow for the option to truly work..he isn’t a big enough threat to turn it up field and doesn’t have the speed to do it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-BONE Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 An RPO here and there to keep the D honest. Otherwise, TJ is not worth making QB run a major piece of your offense. TJ extending broken plays from the pocket, feeling pressure and moving with eyes downfield and/or the occasional scramble for plus yards. That's the ticket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are spot on…not sure why we went away from throwing Lucas the ball in first half…they couldn’t stop him…we are really effective when we go with 2 backs him and Henderson at same time…it really doesn’t seem all that difficult. Not sure how Bell doesn’t understand this…he did have some good calls in 2nd half though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-BONE Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) As some of us have stated, this group seems to have enough to challenge for bowl eligibility. Unfortunately, as is always the case, there's little room for error. It feels to me like it's going to come down to whether or not we can squeeze even consistent mediocrity out of the run game. The air game has potential with TJ and the WR corps. But it's hard to imagine winning consistently with a terminally anemic ground game in the B1G. That and avoiding major droughts in level of play, including too many big plays surrendered on D. Can't afford more starts like the Louisville game. But D does look like the massive chunk plays early can be curtailed or significantly reduced via awareness and execution. Hope so anyway.

I think this is a team (barring injuries) that will get better each game. They have a ton of new players. But I agree, they have to get the running game going early.
