I agree that what Dalton can do with minimal help puts him as one of the best in the league (far too many bad games to even consider the 'elite' title like you said, though).

I'm starting to think our run game issues may also be schematic and not just lack of talent. I didn't see an off tackle power run play all game. I'm not sure why we were stuck on the shotgun counter play. That type scenario does not fit Hill's running style at all.

As for jaded fans, I can't blame them. Ohio loves football and we have some of the best talent pipelines in the world. We deserve better professional football organizations than we have.

That being said, fans around us, and everywhere, laughed, boo'd and made hilarious jokes. He has become a sensation of poor performance. Mind boggling really.

I understand wanting him replaced, but it is obvious the club has not found someone who they think is better that is available, so we have Nugent for the rest of the season. So for true fans of the team that want the team to win, how is booing Nugent helpful? Since it is a head thing to start with, is that going to make him better or worse??? Maybe try supporting him and getting him through it to help the team instead of giving in to the base instinct to want to boo him??? Really, which is more helpful??
