Just for fun, how would the narrative have been different if Bryce had had this performance against Western Michigan?

Posted on September 20, 2026 at 09:32:14 AM by Craig

The bad fumble, some other issues, but 19-25, 223 yds, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. Limited rushing for about 25 yards.

I believe the narrative would have been very positive around that performance.

- I was very critical of him in the first half, but he played very well in the late 2nd quarter and 2nd half. - By Krypto September 20, 2026 at 09:59:36 AM
  - He was like 14-17 for 150 yards, WTF.* - By MasterBates September 20, 2026 at 10:35:21 AM
  - He was fine in the first half. Just the turnover * - By crumbs September 20, 2026 at 10:15:54 AM
  - I wasn’t critical of him in the 1st half at all. Wasn’t he like 11/12 at some point? - By ny1995 September 20, 2026 at 10:04:57 AM
    - Agree solid throughout. He had one other dangerous ball late that a good DB might take for 6. - By LewisBullox September 20, 2026 at 10:09:14 AM
      - Didn't JJ had like 4 pick sixes and struggle with the deep ball? But he was great otherwise... - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 10:12:54 AM
        
        I think those were criticized, but either way I'm not interested in playing that game. Just describing what I saw.* - By LewisBullox September 20, 2026 at 10:17:07 AM
        
        He’s really progressing and is still prone for the occasional. I really like his trajectory so far. He’s only going to get better.* - By crumbs September 20, 2026 at 10:33:41 AM
        
        I think he was legitimately very bad vs. WMU, which was jarring, but the last two games much closer to what I thought would be reasonable for this year.* - By LewisBullox September 20, 2026 at 10:46:36 AM
        
        Agree. Iowa will be a big test. Need to have a clean game and not turn the ball over.* - By crumbs September 20, 2026 at 11:00:25 AM
        
        Those were but generally not his week to week play or near picks* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 10:28:29 AM
    - Yeah, he was great in the first half. He was all we had. He's not the one calling stupid runs and safe passes but he did everything (except the one fumble) * - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 10:07:56 AM
      - Yeah, you both are likely right in this instance. I definitely put too much emphasis on that fumble and the awful playcalling by Beck. * - By Krypto September 20, 2026 at 10:10:32 AM
- They would have had to allow him to throw down the field. I didn't think he was bad vs WMU but the offense was* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 09:55:37 AM
- I wasnt on the board yesterday to learn how bad everything actually was. I thought yesterday was an A effort by team and Bryce had a good game* - By chiwalker September 20, 2026 at 09:50:25 AM
