Barnett does much better with the zone-read and looks to be playing with alot more passion. Offense moves the ball and play different with him back there.

Jantz- looks unenthusiastic and still can't read that option. Heck, maybe he can kick because we could use it after another missed kick. HOLY CRAP!!!! :confused::confused:

There is no question. Not sure why we ever went away from Barnett anyways. I know I know, Jantz competed better in the spring, summer and into the fall, but Rhoads should of seen the signs after the Iowa game.

Still waiting for a running game to show up and maybe a few less 3 and outs... Neither QB has the ability to be in the top half of B12 QBs...

I remember when Jantz had a long pass to Lenz against Tulsa and we thought he was the right decision

2 plays for 125 yards, the other 20 plays "good" for 57 yards...

That isn't on JB - thats on the offense in general.

Our offense has done nothing after the first drive except have a deep pass to Josh Lenz. I wouldn't jump on the Barnett board yet. We've done NOTHING.

Way way too early for this and now you pretty much guarantee some JB mess ups.

We haven't even ran much read option. Jantz plays andita all read option. Barnett plays and we air it out. Don't get it.

2 plays don't make him a better QB. We have yet to sustain a drive.

16 points at half @ 15. TCU--Barnett

13 points at end of vs. Tech--Jantz

Barnett with 153 passing yards already.

Sorry, so far, it isn't even close.

My worries on offense are still here because the QB wasn't the sole issue to fix. Barnett is playing well today. If we don't find a way to get the running game going it won't matter which QB is on the field.

Were ahead of the 15th rated team at halftime. Just one turnover. Sure at times it looks ugly, but I guarantee if jantz is the qb there probably would be a few more to's. Be patient, enjoy what is now.

I am neither agreeing or disagreeing but we would have won last week if SJ made 2 plays like that. Even if those guys were wide open JB put the ball in there perfectly on both of them. Anyone else think Horne dogged it on the long ball that sailed by him?

As the announcer said he made a bade decision and should have thrown the out route, instead of trying to thread the needle to Tiller, that would have gotten us the 1st down.


The right before half makes a super bone head move.
