Tomorrow's game is the opportunity for these two often beleagured men to show that Go's opinion about the corner being turned is true and that this offense is/can be taken to the next level.
While I have never been down on Nassib, after last years horrific performance against Rutty he needs to redeem himself and play a smart, efficient, and turnover free game. He needs to hit on at least one deep ball and make Rutgers pay when there pass rush/blitz cant get home in time. He has played Rutgers four years now, he knows what to expect and its time he put this team on his back.
For Hackett its time to put up or shut up. We have kept Broyld and the trick plays under wraps for most of the year, it's time to see what we have up our sleeves. I would be shocked if Broyld or another non QB didnt attempt a pass Saturday. We also need to see more of the USC and NW offense on Saturday with shots down the field to Kobena (if healthy) and Clark. Also lets reintroduce Adrian Flemming and David Stevens to the world with some actual passing plays. Syracuse has been successful against Rutgers when we take the fight to them (09 and 10) trying to make this game a rock fight on purpose is going to result in a defeat for us.
