Ouch. Surely he throws better than Denard. I haven't watched AU this year so I have no idea. I saw where he only attempted like 6 passes or something one game? Is it because he does throw like Denard--the Michigan State fans always called him arm punter. Bucc, you'll have me feeling pretty good right now if you say he throws like Denard. He was terrible. God, I throw better than Denard.

One of the greatest passes...well his greatest pass and seminal moment of his AU career...was terribly underthrown and deflected He doesn't attempt many passes so I haven't seen enough to make a full comparison, but the undervalued factor in all of this is Malzahn's offensive schemes, his playcalling & how efficient that can make a QB look regardless of pure throwing ability or talent. What I've seen the short to intermediate passes are ok, he short arms a lot and doesn't step into passes, his biggest weapon is eluding and throwing on the run seems like to me. Understand Gus is masterful at using his players best attributes...so that's why we've seen the 200+ yd rushing & only 7 attemped passes game.
AU's OL is pretty good against pass blocking so Bama will more likely go with the same style of D and box him in & force him to throw to gain yards, no pressure because of the run threat. Only problem is if you remember the 1 player who had a huge game against Mich that year on D was Dee Milliner & we don't have a CB as good this yr so the safetys will have to cover more ground and make the right reads.
Should be fun
