Brown is a better passing QB and probably better running against good D's due to size. I'll take Brown.
Lil Tommy has thrown the ball a lot better than I expected this year. He's certainly improved as a passer. I'm not saying he's Drew Brees, but his downfield passing is absolutely improved from what he showed at BC. He's still inconsistent, but he's putting the ball in good spots down the field this year.
His passer rating is the highest it's ever been right now, completion percentage, he's 4th in the country in EPA/dropback, 23rd in success rate. He's played well this year.
For our defense, this is absolutely our biggest challenge to date.
ND ran a ridiculously conservative offense Week 1 to try to protect Carr, and for some reason they forgot to give Love the football. Credit to us, when he did get it, he didn't have much room, but the gameplan for them was incredibly vanilla.
Bethune is a scrimmage.
USF presents a challenge because of the tempo, but we have a massive talent advantage, especially on the LOS. They're a G5 team who has absolutely no hope of blocking us up front, and when you can't even slow down a front, you have no choice.
UiF, forget it. That's the most pathetic offense I've seen all year. Again, credit to our kids and staff. We're playing excellent defense. I'm not trying to say we've been good just because the competition is bad....we're still lining up and dominating. But this is the first actual offense we've played, where the talent is somewhat comparable and the scheme is aggressive. If we go absolutely flatten FSU this week and hold them to something like under 20 points, I will honestly start saying this might be the best defense in America. But this is an actual challenge.
