Coan was exactly the same last year. He cannot throw down the middle of the field.

If that is any kinda way true Paul can hit the fricken road.

I think you're spot on MP2. From what I had heard in interviews etc, he just wasn't quite ready yet. 4 star or not, there's a bunch more to handle at the next level.
I am excited as anyone, but I also would rather it be 'the right time' than shatter his confidence.

I think you nailed it. However, I think it is the latter based on past history. We may be good with Coan but we'll never be great. Why not give Mertz a chance.

Cripes, me too. Good call!

Is Coan ready?
The red pants on the road too. Just like that look.

It's not a question any of us can answer. Apparently a bit more than otherwise.
Coan= Moan.
I forgot how much I appreciated Pryor. With Cephus back, it's going to be a good thing....
TD JT23!!!!
Nice to see Taylor getting involved in the passing game.
Take note, Mayo LeFroggg!
Damn, almost a turnover.
Yeah so I'm behind, but I am loving my new IPTV streaming!
Hennigson is a stud.

Agreed!
Seems like Groshek has been in Madison for 10 years.
OMG I panicked and then 2nd TD TJ!!!!
WOW!
Not a great choice by Coan, but man is JT a beast!
Thankfully we got a TD. However, that was a bad decision with no time outs even though it turned out OK.
Stupid throw by Coan, great play by Taylor
If the game goes the same way in the 2nd half, could we see Mertz?

I think it's a good possibility.
OMG, JT, from nothing to TD!!! Tremendous!
Taylor is special... what a night for that kid.
STUFFED!
I am really liking the speed of this year's D!
Looking great against this team......The Ohio State?? Michigan??? A way different story. Ugh.....looking good now, couple of weeks?? I’ll remember this game.
