too early to say anything about Bear. We have only one game where Bear had the green light to throw long balls (ISU) and he threw close to a perfect game on his long balls.
Retzlaff as an NFL game….he just does not have an NFL mind. Way too many brain farts. Man, he can throw some beautiful balls, then a wounded duck. No way would he have done well in the TTU game.
Both I and Tom feel that the TTU game was poorly coached. Stacking the box with 8 defenders and AROD is running the ball into 8 guys??? As Tom pointed out:
We ran or threw dinks all night into their strength. Can’t put this on Bear or the players (well, the TOS and special teams stunk but) this was bad coaching….on one guy. Arod.
