I’m fine Drew Bledsoe’ing Adrian.  It won’t feel good, but man it feels good.
Let Adrian start the bowl game unless Will brings home the Dr. Pepper

If we get in the position where we are playing a high name team that is depleted by a bunch of nfl guys scared of wrecking their careers, I am all for giving Adrian the start. Or even the entire second half.

like if 9am is willing to sling it then they're pretty similar i think and we can preserve will's redshirt. like at first the redshirt doesn't seem like a big deal with golden boy coming in. but i mean, if this really is the new will howard and he still improves more, he'll be the god damn best qb in the big 12, and we could get 3 more years of that. plus he could play with his brother more! aj could likely get to that level, but it's still probably less than a coinflip. logically probably not the new will howard, likely on a hot streak and teams aren't prepared for the new version of him, but can it really be far off? a lot of the throws he's made, i still can't believe it. what the eff.

I’m not going to get worked up either way it shakes out but the fact that UT has to prepare for either QB being the starter and their styles of play are effectively opposite is incredibly good.

I kind of on the "if 9AM will make the throws, start him" bus. He has to get more agressive because clearly, tho, it's stupid to invite eight-man fronts when we've demonstrated we can stretch the field.

Overall that's how I feel, I mean, I think incredible to think in this season, especially after the OU game, that this game glosses over Adrian's own achievements and progress.

I think if anything seeing Will swing it around means Adrian will be more apt to do it himself, which can only be a good thing.

End of the day I want Adrian to feel like he made the right decision coming here, and he gets the credit and the recognition for clearly not being the problem at Nebraska. He's a good dude and deserves good things. Will had an amazing game, and regardless we're in fine hands whoever is under center going on out, if anything I'm way less nervous now especially given Will's past of being pretty meh

Regardless of how the rest of the season plays out with either AM9 or the Howitzer I am infinitely more excited for next year. No need to play AJ as a true freshman now (barring injuries) so he can eat some biscuits and maybe play some mop up time in 4 games thus preserving his redshirt.

We're in good hands with Martinez, sure, but Howard has been better each of the last 2 weeks than Martinez has been all year. We don't lose to Tulane or get held to 10 points against ISU with Will Howard at quarterback. The best player should play.

He still makes quite a few bad throws but it's crazy how much better he is in the pocket. Like I don't think he was close to being sacked because he moved well and chucked it out of bounds if no one was open. It feels like he has so much more time to throw than he ever has.

And IMO he got better last year compared to 2020 but he didn't play much so it wasn't as noticeable


Like you, I was impressed by how well Howard slid his feet in the pocket. He never looked at the rush. Well, maybe once or twice. But he was cool when under duress.  I’m of the opinion that Martinez mobility started to bring out the best in our receivers. And now Howard is kind of reaping the benefits by getting them the ball where they can make big plays. And they are showing out.

It’s just two games, but when flushed out of the pocket, I’d prefer he not throw against his body. Cause Malik made one helluva play to save an INT in the 2nd quarter.

He probably passes Sisco during the KU game.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
