Haha!
I kid...I kid. Drew's the man.
But wow. Beau didn't just hold his own. He took the bull by the horns. He showed toughness and leadership. He made plays...with both his arm and his legs. He changed the entire dynamic of the offense by giving it an added dimension. He totally discombobulated Wisconsin's D, which had held us to 7 points in the 1st half. Our own D fed off that and throttled the Badgers in the 2nd half.
I mean, let's be honest: our season was teetering at the half, and Drew's injury conjured up thoughts of the infamous 2021 Iowa game. Except little did we know there was one huge difference: Beau was ready. He knows the offense as well as Drew. But knowing is one thing and delivering is another.
That version of Beau and a performance like that from Beau is more than capable of beating Purdue, Minnesota, and Maryland to close the season. Ohio State next week? That's a tall ask. But who knows.
Obviously when Drew is ready, he's the man. He has to be. But if Drew is anything less than 100%, I think the better option might be to roll the dice with Beau again and see if we can catch magic in a bottle two weeks in a row.
