We have the the 8th ranked passing offense in our conference (averaging only 2 more yards per game than Kansas). We are also ranked 8th at long passing plays at plays over 10 and 20 yards. So by those standards KH isn't average, he's well below average. As others have pointed out, he was put in a position to make high percentage throws where not much was asked of him. The guy's got heart, I loved seeing the fight in him against OU. He very well may be our best option, but with our CFP chances out the window, it's time to start thinking about next year.
If we don't find a way to beat TTU and BU it's all for naught. But realistically what are our chances of beating OU in Dallas with the same game plan?
since we will never play OU in dallas, we will never know will we? Try ArlingtonIf we don't find a way to beat TTU and BU it's all for naught. But realistically what are our chances of beating OU in Dallas with the same game plan?
No doubt that Shawn doesn't need to be totally green going into next season, which makes it odd that he didn't get more mop-up duty earlier in the year. That would've put him in a better spot if he has to start on Saturday as well.
My guess for Saturday: Kenny starts, Shawn rotates in a little more than he has (per GP's post-game comments in Norman) and throws a few, and maybe even finishes out the game if we can get it comfortably in hand. I'm sure we're banged up, but I bet GP also just wanted to throw some of that out there to give Kliff more to chew on.
I feel like they’d end the game right after Baker got his head ripped off so everything you wrote after that is just silly.
Robinson has such a huge opening game, fans and reporters immediately start calling him “Shawny Trill”...
Huh? People on here were calling for 7-5 and 8-4 seasons. We've exceeded what most people thought possible. And KH has been a large part of that.Such a promising season is crapping out before our eyes. I think GP knows the odds of us winning the next 2 and has started preparing for next season. I am surprised he did not mention Song also. What suddenly cured him?
Yes, by those very selective stats Kenny looks below average. However, it's silly to even look at those stats since that's not the type of offense we run, and saying "so not much is asked of him" is dumb. He's asked to run our offense and take care of the ball, which he's done very well for the most part (outside of Ames). Here's some more stats:
36th in total offense
5th in 3rd down conversion %
32nd in TOP
30th in scoring offense
And most importantly.... 8-2
It's not an overwhelming offense, like OU or Okie State, but it's mostly been a very efficient and effective offense this season. Staying on the field/converting so many 3rd downs has been huge for the team. Also, finishing with Tech and Baylor should make those numbers look even better. Our offense isn't nearly as bad as some on here make it out to be.
I'm failing to see how passing yards per game is a "selective stat" when talking about how good a team's QB is. All of your stats include our ability to run the football... which is not in question. You're saying that's not the type of offense we have, I'm saying it is under Kenny Hill, so at this point it's just semantics. We lead the league at rushing attempts, that has literally never happened at TCU before.

Kliff has nothing to do with Tech's defensive game planning. The way they play defense, I don't think anyone has anything to do with their defensive game planningMaybe Patterson is just jacking with Klif's game preps...

Where has TechAdvisorz been? That guy predicted good thing this year and failed miserably again.
Add to that, GP told us he was going to do this when it was announced that Meacham wouldn't be back.We lead the league at rushing attempts because we have (had) the best running back duo in the B12. And our offensive line (with Morris) was very good - in addition to having a new stud OLine coach. TCU hasn’t had two backs like we have since entering the B12. You are trying to equate more rushing attempts to Hill not being able to throw deep.
Aren't you the one that tried to convince everyone that UT was going to be a struggle?
Your opinions are worthless.
I couldn't disagree more. But that's cool.UT was a struggle. We had to depend on our defense. If our defense had let down at all, that 10 point lead would have meant nothing. That final TD was due to a Texas sell out to stop the run, which blew up in their face.
It doesn't matter how well you have explained your position or how logical it might be, a certain someone has a reading comprehension problem.My position on Hill is that he may be our best option (he probably is), he's a good kid who's done pretty well, he's got weaknesses in his game, in particular he struggles executing the downfield passing game, that opponents have probably identified, but that given his struggles in recent weeks and the fact that SR does have 10 months of time under his belt now, I wouldn't mind seeing what he has. If he's terrible we can always put KH back in. I guess that's unreasonable and that I hate KH.
Careful 8-4 is still possible. On a lighter note, the Tech folks, I have talked to, don't want Kliff to win anymore games (us and Texas) so they can get rid of himHuh?
