I don't think anyone meant to disparage either QB. Preseason there was a lot of concern about the quarterback position. At this point there seem to be two reasonably good choices.

I'm kind of torn on this because Windham began the year better than I ever imagined. Doing well against Texas State is one thing, but he had really good game against Tennessee also. He just wasn't the same after that, though. Maxwell obviously was the much better QB in the EMU game, but one game is a small sample. Maxwell was sub-par against Kent State, though the Golden Flashes do play pretty good defense. As a whole, I think Windham has shown the best, and the overall numbers support that, but it's been a while since he's played his best. I sort of don't know which is the true Windham.

Great point. I was one of those with concern. I wouldn't say that now, as both have shown to be capable.

I don't like disparaging either.

But guys on the team know that their play is subject fair critique--so long as it's directed at performance, so long as it's not directed as a personal attack.



Windham has been very effective as a runner. But as the season goes on, teams see that and will stop it. And, better teams will stop it. The first thing that a team should do is take away what its opponent does best.

Just a thought but maybe there's a correlation between Windham's being at his best and the offense's health. At the beginning of the year Windham was at his best when Ohio's running game was at its healthiest and deepest. 3-4 inactive running backs later, opposing defenses didn't have to worry about stopping Ohio's running game and could key on Windham and the wide receivers. Seriously, just a theory; I could be wrong.

You are not wrong. Thats what DC's stay up all night game-planning on. As soon as we get 2 healthy backs....I think Windham will produce more. His 3rd down runs were/are very effective. I would like our TEs to get more production. OU has two 6'5+ TEs. Serious redzone advantages off playaction.

Has he even hit a receivers body part?

Has he been within 8 yards of a receiver?

Hopefully Windham's injury isn't as bad as it looked, but Maxwell looks to be the man from here out by default.

RobC just said (paraphrasing) that Wyndham's injury (lower leg) while not being disclosed yet will keep him out for at least a couple weeks, but we might see him back by then end of the season
