He practiced all month and looked just like this against good teams. It’s not the injury. Also, there’s a reason Schmidt is being super aggressive in going after WRs right now.
It’s a cameo, he doesn’t know !@#$ about us so he wouldn’t know that NDSU uses that phrase. Looks like they gave him a couple notes and he ran with it. I thought it was lame as hell but if anyone enjoyed it that’s cool too.
The competition down the stretch is obviously tougher. Other teams also had plenty of film by then. Also Jerry started playing tight. Also Isaac started calling bad games. Also Z went down. There are a variety of reasons that happened all at once which is why we saw such a drastic difference.
Two playoff teams and a team so bad their coach resigned vs the best team in the country and two other tough playoff teams that all won first rounds games. It’s pretty clearly different.
