Would any of our QBs been good in the Michigan game?

Probably not. But as you just saw we do t have the defense to have a qb miss wide open td passes. If your goal is to go .500 in the Mac I’m okay leaving him in when he’s cold. But if you want to win every game you might need to pull Rocky when he’s not hitting 50% of his passes

I know many here want a championship every single year no matter how realistic that is.

I like to also consider what the coach is striving for. I think, with the high amount of freshmen on the team (and having Lombardi another year), Hammock is targeting next year as the year to win it all. Obviously, they are going to try to win this year but, from a coach's perspective, you don't lose sight of your target because of one game or a bad half.

If you're trying to develop something, you stick to it unless you get an obvious indication its not going to work.

Clearly, Lombardi was brought in to be his QB for two years. There's a psychology involved in coaching and he has to have a plan.

Plus, I think Lombardi's leadership really steadies this offense. I don't see benching him as a good idea. You want his calming influence out there, and you also want him to learn to work through these slumps, so that when the inevitable time comes where he is struggling and they REALLY need him, he knows from experience that he can turn it around in-game.

I agree 100%.

IMO, you don't want him looking over his shoulder.

Not at this point in his NIU career.

Rebuild or not, NIU needs to dominate at home in conference play. Period. This is not the standard.

You know what I always get a kick out of....Coaches who argue after a replay. The ref gets 20 looks in at it, slow motion, etc, etc, and then the coach still believes that he knows better from his single live look, which is usually not very good to begin with lol

Has not been a good day for Lombardi, but 3rd and long and 4th down with game on the line...... on the money

He's not been good today but he's had a few moments.

And, tbh, if the line can dominate in MAC play and the RBs can do what they've done all year, he can grow into being a good MAC QB.

Today it may all work out. But he’s gonna need to really Improve on the 45% completion he has today when we get into some shoot outs.

Great field Goal!!!

Brown looked really good today. Loved how he didn't avoid contact.

Rocky big throw to Richie for first down when NIU needed it most.

Lets finish this game and move on to next week.

For sure, but he can't do that from the bench.

They need to play it out and then work on it for the next game.

Saw Trey on those fake Jet Sweeps. Why did we run a bunch of fake jet sweeps but never run the jet sweep? Just once?

Lets hold and win this!!!

Setting up an entire season of never giving it to the jet guy, so that in the MAC championship game, with the game on the line, they give it and the guy goes untouched to the house lol

Correcting the Carey years.

Damn, that batted ball back to the QB, Hansen read it perfectly and it was about to be a pick 6
