I was wondering why he didn't play after the long run when we were backed up. Then I heard he injured his hamstring. How bad? Not sure have not heard anything more.
Tyler Buchner Injured
- Thread starter irish4life88
- Start date
Not good. We need him against Wisconsin to mix things up. If they know it’s just Coan, we are very one dimensional. Our OL will get dominated by Wisconsin’s DL. We need mobility and quick release of the football or its going to be punt city.
Coan had a rough first half, second half he played well. Also the OLine is terrible which never helps.
We definitely need Buchner. But Coan was good in the 2nd half. Between the drops and the ol issues he played solid all things considered
Yep. I think Coan as starter and getting Buchner in the game to mix things up is good strategy and good for the program. Buchner is making a big difference in the outcome of these games, while gaining valuable experience for next year. When he comes in, the defense is totally confused. They know he will likely run, but they can’t stop him regardless. He’s a true freshman that didn’t play football last year and he’s stiff arming senior defensive players to he ground. And correct me if I’m wrong, but his first career pass, although it was some odd sidearm and ugly, was a huge touchdown.
He dropped dimes to Davis and Lenzy (drop) but he seemed to rush a couple of his overthrows (Austin 2, Lenzy) -- because of Oline breakdown and DLine pressure....
Still, he can really sling it. Our playmakers have to make plays.

Is it just me, or does it feel like Slovis has been their QB for like 6 years
It seems like USC always starts the season with a hot shot returning starter who’s going to save the program but ends up playing very poorly, getting hurt, having the freshman come in and become the hot shot savior who’s going to save the program. Rinse, repeat.
I think they need to leave Buchner in the game until a defense can stop him. Up to this point, I haven’t seen that happen.
No. Coan is the starter. Buchner is a good change of pace guy right now
The problem with the change of pace is the other team is going to know what Buchner is going to do . You need to have him with a complete play book to use
He can throw when he's in there. I'm just saying he doesn't have to stay in there. They can use them both to their strengths and then throw with Buchner as well to keep the d guessing
I like to believe (hope) that they have been holding off him passing until the big games....
Really? What would our record be if he hadn’t played against Toledo?
Hasn’t mattered up to this point. I think Toledo was a little surprised he threw the ball to Kyren for a touchdown.
people need to remember that ND is 2-1 without Buchner. That’s not even a question. Given that, I’m not sure how the hell anyone is criticizing the coaches for playing him. Unless of course you’d rather be 2-1.
He should play in every game the rest of the year
100%. Some of those reps should be meaningful, not just mop up. Buchner is a helluva rpo qb. People forget he didn't play last year and will continue to make major progress
Coan was NOT bad!!! Did he miss some throws? Yes!! But he had some ridiculous drops, one of which was a clear TD. Get a freaking clue will ya ... or I guess you want him fired to. Jesus!!!
Coan is good. I think Drew could even fill in as a sub Buchner player. Obviously not the size of Buchner. I'm very excited about Buchner now after a few games. Get him an OL and watch out!
I think Kelly has 4 priorities now.
1 Win
2 Cook up an OL
3 Find the right Defense
4 Protect the confidence of Buchner
Number one is number one. 2 and 3 will work themselves out as the respective teams work together and gel. Number 4 is where Kelly coaches. Right now, it appears TB is a confident QB so Kelly is doing a great job. The problem would be if Buchner were to lose a game where his RB drops the ball, as almost happened, or a pass bounces off his receiver into the hands of a defender and TB loses a game. Even though they aren't TB's fault, they would affect his confidence.
All that said, Kelly is doing an outstanding job coaching up his young QB and getting him prepped while winning all his games. Not an easy task.
and he was JT Daniels backup, who I believe starts at UGA.
He will because BK knows this is a waiting year and the next big chance is in 2022.
I don't think Kyren's fumble would hurt Buchner's pride at all. That makes no sense.
