I can't remember a defense actually carrying the team like this one did. Sure there have been better defenses but this 1 put the whole team on its shoulders. Just my opinion

We've never needed the defense to carry us. We've always had decent to good offenses when we've had elite defenses.I can't remember a defense actually carrying the team like this one did. Sure there have been better defenses but this 1 put the whole team on its shoulders. Just my opinion
Yeah, I think people have forgotten how many points are scored around the country every Saturday. You have to be 30+ a game just to be in the conversation for a decent offense.We’ve only had a really good offense for 4-5 of the last 18 seasons. In 2014 we were 3rd in scoring offense. Since then (now 8 seasons) we have only cracked the top 50 once, that was last year when we were #30. It takes about 30 a game to be top 50 most years.
I think the coaches and fans know what we have in Fancher... Nice kid, good athlete, not a very good passer. Realistically, an ideal backup QB. Can come in and manage a game enough to win it (no turnovers, run when necessary, avoid negative plays, etc).I hope we have the right qb next year that is an accurate passer with a quick mind. Is it to big of dream?
Will Fancher make strides throwing the ball with a full offseason of number one reps?
Ordinarily I would see Fancher's performance and assume this is totally possible, but someone on here knew and watched him as a high school QB and said his inconsistent passing is par for the course with him.
Unfortunately, I think he's someone who will every now and then have a particularly good night with accuracy, but then have too many games like our bowl game in which he is just lobbing the ball around without enough focus to place it where receivers can actually catch it.
