Drop a dime? How many dimes did he drop vs North Texas? Zero is the answer. The fact is, you don't know. But after today's performance I'm sure he'll be the starter vs. LSU.
No doubt that Luke has also struggled at times, I'm not denying that or hailing him as the next Joe Montana. Simply put he does not struggle as high of a percentage of the time as AA.
The biggest difference is in the timing especially regarding short 1st and 2nd down throws. AA is always a little late which effects the yardage gained on those 2-4 yard passes like the ones to Goolsby yesterday. If the ball gets there a tenth of a second sooner it allows the receiver to turn up the field and get another 3-4 yards after the catch. So instead of 2nd and 7 we are looking at 2nd and 2 or 3. This in turns opens up the playbook and makes the defense honor pass and run which in turn opens up both our longer passing ,play action, game and our running game.
Again LDR is not the be all and end all but he is probably 20-25% more efficient at operating this offense.
To the posters clamoring for Franks or Trask I ask you this, Would you rather finish this season 6-6 or possibly 9-4 or 10-3? I know we all only want NC's but the reality is WE ARE NOT a NC contender this year and probably not next either given the situation on defense and our physicality is mid level D1 at best.
