I understand that his penchant to throw interceptions is a big problem. I just think following up a Heisman Trophy winner, and fan favorite isn't going to be an easy task.

Wisconsin: Down 17-10 in the third quarter, Beanie gets [censored]ed, tells Tressel, "give me the ball", and carries us to a big win by running for 3 TDs. Boeckman has a decent game.
Illinois: Boeckman throws 3 INTs, 0 TDs, while Beanie has a so-so game (20-76, 3.8 ypc). We lose at home.
Michigan: Boeckman never settles in, doesn't adjust to the weather, fumbles twice and throws and balloon INT, and is skittish the whole game. Beanie again carries us on his shoulders to a win, with the best OSU RB performance ever against Michigan.
LSU: We all saw it. Beanie was the bright spot in our offense the entire night. Boeckman made a few nice throws, but offset that with an overall shaky performance.
I feel if Boeckman plays shaky at all against YSU and Ohio, we'll see Henton start at USC. |
Personally, I find that hard to believe. Game 2 @ USC is the last place you want to give a kid his first start, after receiving very minimal playing time last year.

I think this has nothing whatsoever to do with any QB. The only thing that matters is what he does. |

Ya gotta wonder what Mili and some others have been smoking to believe
that Boeckman will be anything but steller when he takes the field this fall.
We better hope the defense, mostly the D-line has gotten way better or it will be another 11-2 season with a disappointing end.

He's saying the standard has been set impossibly high(Heisman Trophy winner).

Ahh I know that , and I am saying that the only standard that existed was in his mind and not forced on him by anyone. He had only to perform as JT wanted him to and that " standard" did not require Todd to perform as well as Smith did , or to win the Heisman.
We fans may have set a standard but of course he didn't have to listen or obey that one did he? |

That won't happen, seeing that the USC game is Game 3...

 Talk about the "pot" calling the kettle "crack"...
Maybe three straight shaky games during which he threw three times as many interceptions as touchdowns leads me to some concern that Todd will something other than "stellar" which he first steps on the field. I would love to be wrong, but...
