The fact that we couldn't build a big enough lead against a FCS opponent to make wholesale substitutions, should be a concern, and one of those subs should be the backup QB.
It's still somewhat amazing that Mauk can hit those 40 yard plus passes almost effortlessly, but struggles to get it close enough to his big TE to get a hand on it at 10 yards out. Is it possible his coaches are in his head about throwing a pick? Whatever the problem is they better get it the fuk worked out and pronto, had we played any of A&M, UGA or Auburn yesterday, we would have gotten our azz handed to us in a paper sack.

You just can't take much from game's like yesterday. Sure it would have been nice if Mauk had thrown for 350 yards and we had won 55-3 but we have seen what this kid brings to the table last season and we would not have won the East last year had he not played well. 13-21, 179 yards and 3td's is a solid days work in a game where we really didn't need any more than that to win the game. People need to chill.

A point made in the opinion piece I posted that I hadn't really considered was how often James Franklin would sustain drives on 3rd down by running the ball -- Franklin was often our defacto "big back". Mauk's not built to run on a regular basis, so it only makes his apparent weakness on the short-to-intermediate routes more glaring.
Henson's going to have to partially re-invent how this offense gets things done, particularly in certain down and distance situations, and he's go a month to do it. So it should be interesting to see how things evolve.

I think you would have seen a much different intensity level and focus if we were playing an SEC opponent. Is that right that they weren't excited to play the SDSU Jackrabbits? Prolly not, but after blowing their doors off in the first quarter they got lax, it happens.
