This is not what Bobo did

To be fair, Bobo wasn't starting a true freshman at QB most years, let alone 2 years in a row, but I also wouldn't put Chaney and Bobo in the same conversation. Anyone who thought we were getting a similar level of talent at OC hasn't really looked at Chaney's history.

Honestly, if we can just shoot the wild dawg in the head (or competently pass from it at least once or twice per game to make it viable... prefer option a though), complete some more intermediate to deep passes, I likely have very little "real complaint" with Chaney last week... He wasn't perfect by any means, but in rewatching it, he did have some good moments. Some "too cute" moments as well... but at least seemed better than what we have seen given the need to be somewhat conservative - aka - don't let the freshman QB lose it for you... Fromm shouldn't have to "win us" the game if our coaching staff is doing their job correctly. I also wouldn't expect the flags to go quite so heavily against the dawgs in future matchups, though never say never I suppose. In rewatching the game, I'd say there were many more opportunities for us to have left South Bend with a double digit win than there were realistic opportunities for ND to do the same... they certainly had their chances to win with the late possessions, but we did look the better team from an eye test perspective.
