The Zeb era is over

[OrygunBison]

Just for fun, I went back to look at Zeb's Hudl highlights. Now I'm wondering, where did THAT kid go?!? He drops dime after dime, climbs the pocket, scrambles a bit when needed, and rolls out very nicely. I seriously think what he has going on now is all between the ears. The talent is clearly there but somewhere along the way, he lost his mojo. Has he ever been hurt badly? Was there bad QB coaching somewhere along the way? Man, looking at that film, there's a lot for a coach to work with.

Perhaps the coaches see this too and are just trying to build his confidence. I hope it works.

Happens to a ton of guys. I dont understand it, but its a regular occurrence.

Maybe coming from a P5 and ending up as the backup to a freshman got in his head.

honestly I think he's had success in the 2 minute drill because that's literally what he is good at, hurry up quick reads.

That's not sustainable for 60 minutes. We don't have the horses for it.

I hope we pull a natty out of our ass somehow this year just so I can watch this thread completely melt down.

When the defense carries this team to the trophy this thread will age well

NDSU absolutely has the horses for it, maybe not the coaches or playbook

If anything got into his head it's most likely the pressure to follow in the foot-steps of TWO record holders for most wins in the FCS, a #2 overall NFL draft choice, an expected early to mid first-round NFL draft choice and all 4 guys winning EIGHT national championships, they went 127–8 in the last 10 years and had a 39 game winning streak going. There is no writer in the world that would create such a scenario in a fictitious world. I'm not saying they're aren't others that could handle that pressure and play better but if anything is getting to him mentally my bet would be on the totally unprecedented pressure to just win baby.

We need someone hungry. Not someone desperate.
