New to panthernation.GO PANTHERS! Just a couple thoughts on our qb. I understand that Will didn't do anything to lose the game but I also can see he didn't do anything to win it either. There are so many parts that it isn’t on any 1 player. Line play is huge…maybe that’s where the issue is? For our offense to be successful...we have to be able to stretch the field. There were a couple chances for him to do this and missed on those chances. We need to do something different on offense to get this team rolling because the defense is one of the best in the division. I feel our receivers are good and we need to get them the ball downfield. This will help the run game.

3 and 10, QB draw right up the middle. Says everything about our offense and QB right there.
Was there people not super happy? Yes, however, you have to completely ignore context and how the that season and the previous 3 seasons had gone at that point - and then pretend that the year after was somehow even worse.
The offense wasn't good. A competent offense doesn't have 1 completed pass through a quarter and a half. A competent offense has more than 13 points on that god-awful excuse of a playoff team with 2 minutes to go in the first half.
That game featured UNI kicking 3 field goals from the redzone and two of them were literally extra point in length. Imagine being UNI, which prides itself on running the ball and pounding the defense, and not being able to score from the 2 yards line. Then having a QB that was 6'4 225lbs and a known running QB paired up with a 6'4 225lb running back and not having the confidence in scoring on 4th down so you kick a field goal from the 2-yard line. Special teams/defense accounted for something like 20 points in that game.
Remember that same offense started that game fumbling on their first play and turning it over and then two puns on the next two possessions and finally getting on the board at the end of the first quarter with a field goal.
UNI's offense was also left with a short field, a lot, by the defense. The first score of the game came because UNI's defense forced a ToD near midfield. Then the next possession forced a 3 and out that gave the ball back at mid-field. Then the next possession forced a fumble and gave the offense the ball to start inside the redzone. Then the next possession the defense/special teams set the offense up deep in EIU territory thanks to a 42-yard punt return by DB Makinton Dorleant.
It is entirely possible to watch a game, win a game, and still be critical about what happened in the game. Especially when you don't ignore everything else happening around the program that season/decade and treat that one game in a complete vacuum.

Good points. Sorry for being repetitive, but you have to figure a way to get the ball to Westin down field. He’s your NFL prospect WR, with other good players in that group. A run game would also help free up some deeper pass routes.
We have good receivers. Need to open up the offense to utilize them down the field.UNI FIGHT

Which I still cant figure out why this has not happened. As I have pointed out previously, there was a nice half of a season stretch 2 years where we were really stretching the field with down the field passing, using Weston especially, and since then there has been virtually none of that.

Now, we also need to remember that 2015/2016 was peak Carnes/Bailey 4 years of truly god awful QB play. It honeslty is entirely fair to say the offense wasn't great.

Keep something in mind about me: I don't say something just for the sake of saying it.

I think this is still the concern with Will. I haven't seen anything that indicates he is going to be better at finding receivers down field and putting the ball in the area with any degree of accuracy. His down field passes seem to be throw it high and deep and hope the receiver can run under it. The ISU game wasn't a great measuring stick for this but hopefully we will get a chance to see it this weekend. I agree that we need to find Weston and seeing a TE running deep over the middle has been missing from the offense for far too long.
