Well Irish Faithful, for some of us this isn't the season we came to expect. With key injuries to Floyd, Riddick, Crist, and Rudolph our offense has been hobbled the last couple of weeks. We have been fighting and clawing without them, but it has been noticeable in our offensive output. So, where do we go from here for the rest of the year?
Well I believe Tommy Rees has everything it takes to run this spread offense. For the time he played in Tulsa he looked very well. Aside from the 3 interceptions he ran the offense very well, and kept up the quick tempo. He is on the small side so I worry about him getting injured while scrambling or getting sacked, but the kid can throw. He is going to go through growing pains (see last minute interception against Tulsa) but he will learn, and hopefully get better over the last 3 games of the season. He has a tough final 3 games, so all we can hope for is to see growth, and hopefully a couple of wins!
Lets keep believing and give our beloved Irish some faith! Go Irish!
I think Rees actually ran the offense more confidently than Crist! He kept the pace much better and didn't 2nd guess himself. Should be interesting to see how he does when he gets a Start!!
ReplyDeleteI am interested to see this as well. I think he looked greater, other than the 3 interceptions. I think now that he is getting more reps with the first team and he has 2 weeks to prepare it will help him out a lot when it comes to game time.
