Andy Dalton: Step it up baby!

[riffram2011]

In order of TCU to keep this game close, Andy Dalton needs to be perfect, or very close to it. He was certainly not in the SMU game, even though the stats may indicate otherwise.

I remember in those two drives that resulted in FG's in the SMU, Andy had many dumb mistakes. He didn't see Shea Reagan down the seam and instead threw a jump ball to a receiver.

He overthrew an easy wide open 2 yard TD pass. You can get away with that against SMU. Not OU.

Andy must make crisp and accurate throws, and when he gets his chances, he MUST capitalize.

This team has the potential to hang with OU, maybe (highly unlikely IMO) eek out a win. But we must see a new gear in Andy. Let's hope he's up to the task

I do surely believe Andy and the rest of the team will pick it up . The level of intensity and effort will improve just as the competetion will .

The wide open receivers dropping AD's perfectly thrown balls didn't help either.

I watched Dalton in Katy's loss to Southlake. He didn't give up then and he won't give up now. He's a player, he doesn't get rattled and he gets better every week.

AD needs to be really good at handing off for 3 quarters. Then we'll see.
