How good is Will Howard???

[wetwillie]

There is zero chance in my mind that our staff will have Avery ready to go in the fall mentally or physically.

I bet he pushes close for it and plays some but Will got a lot better and made it considerably more difficult.

Will Howard played his ass off and showed what the coaches had to be seeing at practice.  I'm curious how much of the passing game was different play calls from the 9AM offense and how much was Howard being willing to uncork it downfield.

I don't think they changed the offense at all. Howard was just slinging it.

You dorks are forgetting that TCU was prepared for Martinez to run and barely throw, then Howard comes in and throws a bunch. He was less productive after halftime. He’s still the same guy, and if he starts next week we get ran out of our own stadium

Being on the sideline getting a nerve blocker in your left shoulder will certainly reduce productivity.

[catastrophe]

Yeah he drove the field pretty effectively in Q3 before getting injured.

If teams are so poorly prepared for a passing attack that Will Howard destroys them in the first half, it's embarrassing that 9AM hasn't done more. Howard had a helluva game and threw some great balls, and one Kade made a great play on, regardless of the defense.

I'm not terribly confident in him being the starter this year or next but I feel like there is far more upside to his game than we've seen before last weekend.

Also had the drive that should have put us down 3 in the 4th that he converted a 4th and long to Brooks and missed a wide open Kade in the endzone for a score.  I’m not saying he’s a world beater but whatever mental crap he had going on last year appears to be behind him.

I’m just saying that if he starts this week, we lose by at least three scores

lol no.

There have only been 4 3-score games in the Big 12 so far this year (2 for OU )

good chance both factors are at play. I don't think AM's shoulder is close to 100% which would probably lead to less uncorking.

Yeah, absolutely both. Even if Adrian wasn't hurt during the Iowa State game we know that the philosophy of this staff is to get more reps for the depth players during the bye. Also Howard has to have a better sense of the playbook, and the reads within it.

Howard already has two starts against Oklahoma State, we lost those by a combined 14 points. That 2020 loss still hurts, we should have won that game, the late fumble in the red zone after he already got the first down

[tdaver]

If we lose by 3 scores, it will have more to do with not having a Daniel Green and other defensive injuries.

[MakeItRain]

Yep

[bunter]

The game also looks a little different if we make even one of two field goals. Thought Will played well but getting blanked in the second half is a real stinker.

[Cire]

Deuce not getting the first down which led to the awful sneak was pretty bad

We have gone from 2 point dogs to 1.5 point favorites, the sharps agree with you on a win.

Yeah, the first kick was into the wind and we probably would have tried to convert 4th down if Howard didn't get hurt. The second miss was bad, though. Kicking has been awful all year.

Tennant is 14/22 (63.6%)for his career, which is low. Sports reference doesn’t include distances for college kickers.

That's a good link, thank you. When I have time I'm going to look up the distance of his attempts to compare him to those numbers. I feel like most of this attempts are 37-43 yards.
