I think this is the biggest factor.

yes its time to just get Luke on the field as a slot reciever , running back, His future at the next level will be as an athlete kinda like tashun Hill... i think Luke can get open deep down field just as good as any reciever on the roster now, we need to put all our best athletes and speed out there, Austin Allen is quietly turning into a very good TE for us too, field goal kicking is night and day from where it was last year....
Definitely been happy with his play the last two games. He still has room for improvement though. While not an easy throw, if he could have hit Rahmir on that pass late in the game. He starts making more of those types of throws he's gonna be dangerous. I'm really pulling for that kid!
He had that really good run on the last FG drive that was called back too. Kid is running hard and if we can get him cranked up that will really really help the O.
always good to get a W... & DONU was resilient - that long 4th Quarter FG drive / response was awesome.
The pre-halftime eye twitch inducing insane play calling aside... enjoyed this one, an inspired and determined bunch out there giving it their all... agree the team is improving.
I didn't like the play calling at their own 10 on the second to last drive. But the play calling on the last drive I had zero issue with. Don't get the punt blocked and nobody is talking about it.
I'd add, learning to win while making a bunch of mistakes maybe let's these kids realize they don't need to be perfect, thereby loosening them up! This could have an added benefit of maybe leading to fewer mistakes.
Agree, wish Luke was on the field more. Probably has more to do with the depth behind AM and LM, trying to protect him a bit in case AM is injured? That's my guess. Shouldn't have that problem next year.
I know but there are a bunch of teams packed in together. Every win counts
It shouldn’t have happened. The coverage was pretty excellent. I’m thinking if Dismuke had not run into CTB, it doesn’t happen.
It makes a huge difference when the line gives him some time to go through his progressions. Last year and earlier this year both QB's had no time and did nothing but scramble for their lives. If they can give him protection consistently he'll be able to pick teams apart.
I'm sure Luke wants to play QB, but like you said his future is in the NFL. He could easily be a Cooper Kupp type receiver. I would think he would want to make that move. Imagine him, Wandale, and Betts as our starting wideouts. Bring Luke in motion like they do Warner; that's a move that will make the defense think.
agree on the second to last series.
First half after a HUGE stop, at our own 30ish.. after the first incompletion, run something to keep the clock moving 0:40 remaining, & go into the half having stuffed & deflated them - up three scores (+ DONU receives the second half kickoff).
instead, punt block, big return, etc...give them hope. Risk >> Reward
They'd probably like a do-over there, but they were trying to stay aggressive. Isn't that what we've wanted to see? Plus, what are the odds of a punt being blocked? We hadn't had one blocked all season.agree on the second to last series.

Then again, we actually had an opponent called for holding today, so anything was possible.
The only problem is there are I think 10 bowl games canceled so far. That’s the bottom 20 teams essentially not going.
