#5-Credit Where Credit Is Due

I have been critical of #5’s play this year. I think in a couple games he could have been justifiably benched. But through yesterday, he has been very good in MAC play. These are his MAC game stats, keep it up Brett!

Conf Comp 47 Attempts 80 Completion % 58.8 Yards 696 YPC 8.7 TD 9 INT 1 Long 75 RTG 166.5

TD to INT ratio outstanding!

Brett is back to being Brett. He was excellent yesterday, with a little help from his friends–the WR! Solid day passing and catching the ball. New guys step up and make plays.
We’re in a good place right now. Run the table, including MACC and our bowl game. Hope we get a decent bowl to showcase the guys who will be playing their last game in Red and White.

You can tell he’s been far more comfortable the last two weeks than the first five. Part of that has been a much stronger running game, but physically he’s just been sharper in passing with a bit of mobility back. With our upcoming schedule lightening up I’m feeling optimistic.

Eliminating the bad red zone decisions that result in a pick has been huge

Agree -he has come back strong but he also has better O line play and an improved running game. His forced picks were not good decisions but remember we were playing from behind in those games and plying against better teams.

To be fair, if giving credit to a QB for last years championship, Aveon Smith went 5-0, all against MAC teams, including a win at 10 win Ohio which got us in the MACC and the championship win over 11 win Toledo.

Brett has been absolutely money the last 3 weeks and has seemed to put all fears or safety issues behind him and is giving everything he can to get another championship, pain or injury be damned.
