re: Max is no great loss...

Our offense did not help him out much at all. Very few check downs and options to get the ball out quick. There were plenty of times where he made mistakes, but he was a true freshman and sophomore. In our very ehhhhhhhhhh offense he was able to produce


313/523 (59.8%), 3,884 yards, 35TD, 8int.... in 12 games.

I'm not saying he wasn't to blame for some of the problems, but the OLine sucked. Peetz was not helping him with check downs or 6/7 man protection. Hell even Hester said he caught 30-something passes one season and our closest guy was in the 20s. We just lost someone who has serious experience. Is it the end of the world no is not. We have one on campus who is talent just needs work, and a 5 star who will here in a month. Just stepping back and looking at it for what it is. He played tough for us and kept getting up when it was clear our OC wasn't ready for this role. I wish him all the luck in the world.
