Re: Tucker Rovig...
And Sneed had 195 yds passing. So what? Would you have been happy if Rovig would have passed for 200 yards and had the same result? Stats are for losers. The score is what counts, and a Rovig led offense hung 48 on UM. Be happy for one second and let this Rovig fixation rest for one day. Kid did what he needed to do and what was asked of him. He's, what, 6-2 as a starter and 1-0 against his instate rival. That's all that counts.RobertoGato wrote: βSat Nov 23, 2019 8:16 pmTo be fair, with TA on the sideline, they relied on 60 rushing attempts.

I thought Rovig did fine, but c'mon, we didn't win because of him.
Most importantly, he didn't do something to lose the game. That's the majority of what we ask from him.

Am I not allowed to say that the Cats relied on the running game today? Because they did. They didn't need to ask a lot of Rovig and he mostly delivered. It's all great.

Re: Tucker Rovig...
I'm in the same boat as seataccat and I was nothing but impressed with Rovig's play today. Granted, I think he's trained us all to not expect much. But he really made some great decisions & throws in the biggest game of the year, especially in the 1st quarter when everyone was still on edge & the offense was yet to be in any rhythm. That's not an easy thing to do & he no doubt earned my respect for the first time today & will have my respect going forward. Great job Mr Rovig!

Re: Tucker Rovig...
This is what I think as well. Tucker was so timid in the pocket in the early games, his feel for the pressure around him was very poor and it kept him from scrambling effectively. He had no feel for when to throw a dart and when to put some air under it.Cat4LifeHouseDivided wrote: βSat Nov 23, 2019 10:21 pmYou said fine...and then went on to say he wasnt the reason for winning.

Those are all extremely hard things to overcome but Tucker has vastly improved his poise. He missed an easy touchdown on the second possession but didn't dwell on it. Yes, the running game was dominant but Tucker has developed enough to pose a down field threat to open up that run game. Admittedly I was convinced he would not and I am gladly eating crow.

Rovig was pretty bad earlier in the year. He's improved, a lot. I still don't think I would call him a good QB, but right now he's performing like an average QB, and tbh, that's all we need to beat most teams. Going from below average to average is a big step, you can see the difference it's made for the offense.

Re: Tucker Rovig...
Rovig is the best QB we have and is starting because of it. I know this for certain because a professional coaching staff working 80 hour weeks says it's so. I see no reason to continually scrutinize him because everyone who knows football understands the situation. So I see this as just bitching for the sake of bitching.bobcat99 wrote: βSat Nov 23, 2019 10:52 pmNothing I said was inaccurate.Cat4LifeHouseDivided wrote: βSat Nov 23, 2019 10:21 pmYou said fine...and then went on to say he wasnt the reason for winning.

I'm just, ya know, being realistic. I'm sorry if that offends you so. I've posted good things about him in this thread and others too. Really haven't said anything negative at all, I just said he didn't win the game! I don't think anybody can argue that. He did his job. Did what he was asked to do. I'll take it!

Re: Tucker Rovig...
What if we all agreed that Rovig did his job yesterday, took care of the ball, and contributed to a huge win, and left it at that to enjoy the stomping?
The debate will still be there in the off-season.
