He can make some throws. The problem is he's so good running the ball (and he looks faster than last year) rather than try and fit it into a small window he knows he can get yards with his feet. Sometimes big chunks.

Teams that can get pressure with just their DL give everyone some problems, but more so us because of that fact. The yards dry up because the spy assigned to him only has to tackle him, which at the D1 level you won't find many linebackers who don't wrap up.

Most schools would love to have him as their starter. Our problem is we have a guy who throws it much better, has better recognition AND can run it pretty well too.

Folks forget Fromm was going to Bama as well and if he had (with Tua going elsewhere) we would have the same conversation going on with a different guy.

For that matter look at Georgia and their QB situation now. It truly is a terrible problem to have if it's not managed right by the coaching staff no matter what the fan base thinks.

Was that his best game? I saw clear progession

He lost his mojo in the AU game. Just has not looked the same since the MSU game. I know that he struggled some before that, but he wasn't ever this bad at making reads and throwing, and making plays. He has looked straight up lost since the AU game though.
