This is a bad take. On the first one, it wasn't that high, and the TE didn't even have to fully extend his arms to get both hands on it.Those INTs were on Joey. You can't throw it too high over the middle.
Yeah I think getting inundated with death threats and prank calls calling you a bum will ruin any 20 yr old's head. I watched it happen to a UT player when I was in undergrad. No reality where fans should do that crap to their own player.If fans ruin his head he shouldn’t be playing football.
I get that Banks isn't great, but this is a weird game to say "THIS IS THE GAME THAT MAKES ME GIVE UP ON BANKS!"Never forget. . .
They had 1st & goal from the 5 yard line in OT.
I think there was blame to go around. Yes, you absolutely cannot discount the defensive scores — they were why we were even in the game. But also the tackling was frequently atrocious and guys were often out of position. It was a tough game to watch! But thrilled we won.I get that Banks isn't great, but this is a weird game to say "THIS IS THE GAME THAT MAKES ME GIVE UP ON BANKS!"
The defense scored 14 points, and MSU got to start 3 drives basically already in the red zone.
I'm not a huge Banks fan, but this isn't a game that's a good example of his shortcomings. The offense and special teams were the primary problems today.
I agree with everything except blaming the snaps and holds. Those were on him, the pressure was too much. The ball was where it needed to be before he even planted, he just whiffed.Yeah I think getting inundated with death threats and prank calls calling you a bum will ruin any 20 yr old's head.

We have one of the best kickers, statistically, we've ever had. With a ton of potential. He's missed 2 kicks this year that were likely caused by bad snaps and bad holds rather than him shanking it.
Call me crazy for not wanting people to harass a kid because 1. it's an abhorrent thing to do and 2. Because he can win us some big games in his career.
