Hey, you have to admit the title was a little interesting, eh? LOL

Ok, to my point.

I played QB in high school and was a pitcher in baseball. Those of you that have played those positions are going to really understand what I am about to say.

One of the basic fundamentals you are taught is to never aim the ball, but to throw it. If you haven't played the position the distinction sometimes gets lost. But, the bottom line is that when a QB/pitcher thinks too much and tries to aim the ball instead of "letting it fly", they become inaccurate or inconsistent. Sound familiar?

I really think/recall that when Hack was under O'Brien running a fast pace/hurry up offense he was better than good. Now, there are obviously other issues going on other than the pace this year. But, if you look back at his great comebacks several years ago and even last year at Rutgers...it was when he was running a quick paced offense, Some people are just better when the temp is fast paced.
