Considering he was around for about 1-1/2 weeks and didn't know the players or the playbook . . . are you really surprised/unimpressed with the USC game? What was he going to get done in that time to make huge changes? Watching the game, I do think the offense had more of a plan and they looked more confident. The points weren't there, but you could see glimpses. Have to start with some basics, simplify, etc.
Wisconsin . . . great game. Offense looked even better and they hit a bunch of plays. DH's best game so far. And the players made the plays that were there.
Iowa? I've said it multiple times, but if you watch the game with an open mind . . . you'll see that a lot of plays were there. They just weren't made. Raiola just overthrows a WR that would have scored. He missed a TE (didn't see him or didn't throw it) for another TD. Neyor was going to have a big gainer and maybe score--was all alone and dropped a ball that was perfect and right to his hands. Especially early on, the offense looked pretty confident and sharp in operations.
Also, Iowa's defense is pretty darn good and it was a freezing game. And we tend to have low scoring games against them. You can hate the score and the outcome (I know I do), but still see where things are coming together. Give DH those bowl practices and, hopefully, a full spring and offseason and then make some judgments, IMHO. He's the best OC we've had in a really long time from his history. I want to see what he can do with the right amount of time.
