  Looks like we have a QB for next year.

  Gardner and Rawls next year makes me feel much better than Bellomy/Fitz.

  I'd feel even better about Gardner/Green

  That would be nice for sure.

  What a horrible fake.

  Jake Ryan is probably the best football player on the entire team, and he's only going to get better.

  He should easily be 1st Team B1G this year.

  Wow. This is what a real QB looks like. See how much better Borges' play calling is as a result.

  I was very pleased with the entire team performance yesterday. Nice to see the defense get back to it's typical 13 points/ game.
  
  That'll win you a lot of games.

  That actually wasn't the best defensive performance for this group considering it was Minnesota. If I were opposing coaches, I'd work Floyd all day long, especially deep. What I do like, is that this group is giving up the fewest passing yards in the nation, and without it's best CB (potential B1G honors player). And our short, up the middle run game is solid.
  
  I think the team played well with Gardner at the helm. Look beyond his individual performance, and you see better play calling because of his passing/decision making. You see extended and long scoring drives, keeping the defense off the field, etc.
  
  I like Denard, but he is a great athlete playing QB. A QB he is not. Gardner even looks like a QB back there. Poised, knew when to run and committed to it, knew when to throw it away, etc.

  Didn't see a tsun random news thread, but here's hoping this perpetuates a B1G/SEC trend :thumbup:

  It's cool. Probably not enough people here care anyway.

  To be honest, I was pumped when I saw it. I would love to see a B1G/SEC "challenge" (ala the B1G/AAC basketball challenge), but I know it'll never happen.
