I take nothing from Udub...they just got us this year...c'est l'avie  . We still have a winning record against them  |
for sure man, our O-line has been outstanding this year, and our 1-2 combo of backs are reaping the benefits. Trust me if we didn't have them this offense wouldn't be able to put an points on the board. Tolzien is good at managing the game and picking up a few 1st downs in the air but he's kinda like a Jay Cutler - good arm, good skill set but sometimes makes really bad choices which was pretty evident in the loss against MSU, no passing game what-so-ever.
