The media can only print what they are told on the record. The NCAA prohibits any public discussion of testing results or other private information by unversity employees. Such news will come out eventually that certain atheltes are no longer with the program due to violations of university policy.
I question the parallel. Nobody is saying that anybody is terrible. However, many people have made statements ignoring the fact that Haack was a freshman with no game experience leading us on the road in a conference game and expecting him to be the next Jake Delhomme. Its much harder than that. He didn't play well and was overwhelmed, which is why he was replaced. However, you can't just throw the game out because he didn't fulfill everyone's high hopes in that one moment in time. Just as USA had a week to prepare, so did he as well as the coaching staff. I'm sure Haack will be a solid QB for us but to make bold statements based on limited data is silly.
Well we know it couldn't be a player from Carencro. Guys coming out of there are straight laced.
The point you argued is that you can't throw that game out. I saw a parallel to how USA's defense made it virtually impossible for our offense to succeed... and how Seattle did the same to Peyton. If someone didn't know how good Peyton is, and only saw that game, they'd say he sucked. I kind of agree with C4L that I'm willing to throw out Haack's USA performance. I was helpful in placing Nixon as a backup to TB for Tulane. My take is that I'm willing to shuffle the deck on backups all over again, forget Haack's USA performance, and give them all a fair shot at #2.
Haack didn't fumble the run, haack didn't fumble the kickoff. We were down 17-0 before haack blinked, just managing the game went out the window. The whole team looked like crap at south al. I've seen too many good things out of haack to think that's him. I believe he is more the guy you saw in the spring game and ulm than the one at south al.
