Look at this poor kid over at Maryland Danny O'Brien, QB, Maryland

His numbers mirror JJ's last season... yet this kid was the ACC Freshman of the Year last year, with 22 TDs.

JJ and JL both look improved and we have such a great offensive gameplan, the plays get in quickly, the offense lines up early, etc...

Such a turn around.

Thank you, Krags and Stud!

Les just won't let Crowton open up the offense damn-it. Les is being too conservative and not letting his coordinator ball out.

Fire Les.

I love the humor, and I thought this thread might head down this path... but let's give some love to our new offensive staff.

lol

O'Brien was injured in the Notre Dame game and is out for the year. There is a widespread belief among Terps fans that he will transfer, as he's on track to graduate this spring and could take advantage of the Russell Wilson rule.

Many think he might end up at Vandy with James Franklin, but I don't know how the Dores are set at that position.

Even with a smaller sample size, that's pretty impressive for JJ.

Aaron Rodgers' little bro is there and I believe is pretty good. Is he a senior?

O'Brien is only a soph in eligibility, so he would be a junior next year if he doesn't lose any years along the way.

I thought coming into this year that if we could have done a Crowton for O'Brien trade, LSU would be in the thick of it for the national title. I guess we didn't need DOB.

It has made going to the Terps games painful.

They should have hired Leach.

edit: But yes Krags/stud have been much better.

They have accounted for 19 TDs, 3 ints, and have a combined QB rating of bout 155.

Like night to day difference this season from last.

Congrats to the players and coaches.

They actually gave him a raise too. Bwahahaha...Poor Randy Really. Edsall loves the power running game, so it will be interesting to see how long that marriage lasts.

There's an old saying that great players make great coaches, but with coach Kragthorpe it's the total opposite, he makes 4 star athletes play like 5 star athletes. Imagine if he had Bert Jones,Rohan Davey or Tommy Hodson taking snaps.With coach K, the future looks bright.
