If Buchner struggles tomorrow will ND hesitate to replace him ? He’s been out a long time.
 
Because it is the last game of the year... believing it will be a balanced attack.. Buchner throws for at least 2 TD's... Merriweather and Thomas...250-300 yards... rushing around 200-250.... Tyree breaks a long run!
 
ND going to break out the old ND box and run it all game. No forward passes......
Current defenses are built to stop the spread type offenses. Smaller and faster, the design is to defend against the passing game. It would be interesting to see if a full house backfield behind the big OL of ND could take advantage of this.

Absolutely not on any leash nor should he be. He's still a relatively inexperienced player and needs all the game reps he can get going forward. He was the starter prior to his injury. Let him go.

I would think that an offense geared to completely protect Buchner from injury is going to be called...meaning, he isn't going to be running around for 60 minutes. He just got back into playing form and condition...and frankly, is more vulnerable now than otherwise, due to timing being rusty, lack of regular offensive weapons, etc. I don't expect him to be entirely himself...and we will see plenty of handoffs and short passes.... jmo.
 
His track record shows he's quite injury prone.
The issue isn't injuries...it's snaps. The injuries keep him from getting snaps. None of his injuries are major from a QB standpoint. Legs and non throwing shoulder. Covid took his senior year. He needs snaps. Play him all game.

Leg injuries happen. The shoulder injury is a fluke and a product of running him more than the freaking running backs.

Tommy Rees only owns long leashes.

If Buchner starts. He only gets pulled if he is injured and can not continue. Unfortunately.

Im pretty nervous about today. There was not much from Tyler’s first 3 games of the season to get excited about heading into today. If that version of Tyler shows up today we are going to get routed

Replace him with who?

Outside of injury, we see TB the whole game no matter good bad or ugly

He only played in less than 2 games, not 3

I agree, its similar to what the Bears are doing with Justin Fields, too many runs. I don't give a rats ass what the injury is, bottom line is he has to be counted on to play. If he's not reliable to play, what good is he?
 
I know Coan lit it up in the first half of last year's bowl, when the offense started to sputter, he should have let Tyler have a go. He didn't, we lost.
 
He sucked so bad it felt like 4, but my mistake
Lol. First start against a playoff team and he almost won with no offensive line and poor rb play.

Second game where he was injured early the entire offense didn't show up and his oc ran him more than estime or Tyree... Lol

Zero chance you can glean anything relevant about his future from those two outings other than you don't like him.


Noted. And irrelevant.
