Officially adding Jason Eck from New Mexico to this list. We saw up close how good that guy is and there's a non-zero chance he could end up being the football version of Dusty May.

1. Cignetti (almost certainly tells you no)
2. DeBoer (might be a reason he seemingly didn't engage with PSU and it was this coming down the pike)

Outside-the-box guy: Maybe try to get Jason Candle to back out on UConn. Warde probably wouldn't do that to his old school though.

I mean, I'm one of those people who want some tangible change, but Schwarber leaving was absolutely not one of those changes. Firmly believe it's no coincidence that they didn't make the postseason before he got here with this group or that they went to the playoffs every year he's been here.

Being off his feet defensively helps a ton. Don't think it's a coincidence he had his best season playing less defensively than ever.

Think both Kempski and McLane said in the past week that the reduction in his running is because he doesn't want to do it as much.

Would probably just throw to him five yards short of the sticks on 3rd down because Patullo.

Told my son last night that I was going to have mixed emotions because this game was going to be the guy who delivered me a Super Bowl vs. the guy who delivered me a National Championship.

Yeah, agree that he has to make the catch but a more accurate throw and he almost certainly does. And it's not like that was Hurts' only bad/questionable throw of the night. Or lately, for that matter.

That one definitely more on AJ than Hurts, but it wasn't a great throw either. And it's one in a pattern of not-great throws of late.
