Drew Allar is REALLY GOOD

[LandoComando]

Has the offense improved, or has the competition gotten worse? I think a bit of both but feel the bigger factor has been the lesser competition.

Allar hit on 60% of his passes against Ohio State after just 42.9% last year
It's definitely better than it was last year. The WRs still are a problem--none of us can dispute that

Except the TV reporters said that Franklin told them before the game that he wanted to get the WRs going against Purdue. Worst team in the conference with a terrible defense and a stated desire to use the WRs and they still caught 3 passes. The WR group is what it is at this point. If it's something that could be overcome, they'd have shown it by now. It's just a crutch this team is going to have to deal with for the rest of the year and it's going to cost us at some point once the playoffs start. I assume Hagans will be looking for a new job next year.

It's just stunning to me that we can't find a go to WR from this group.

Wallace. 4*
Fleming. 5*
Evans. 3*
Clifford. 4*
Ivey. 4*
Flowers. 4*
Johnson. 3*
Three 3* freshmen


We'll never know what happened with KLS. 4* Taylor left the program. What happened to Saunders? He was a 4* WR but has been out since being limited to punt return duty early in the season. And nothing except Fleming from the portal.

I think the offense has improved. Johnson & Warren weren't the same threat at WR last year as Warren is this year. KLS is gone but Wallace is healthy.

But yes, the competition isn't as good.
