The problem was that our expectations were all pumped up by the ULM game where he played really well in relief of Broadway. The other issue was that there were some that made him out to be the second coming of Jake Delhomme before he ever played a meaningful snap in college, which is not all that uncommon, but it created false expectations for him that were not realistic nor were they fair for him.

And yes, USA's defense was probably the best defense in the SBC last year and they were peaking at the right time when they played us. To be honest, I believe they would have beaten us with a healthy Broadway at that time as both teams were just going in different directions at that time of the season.

Haack will be fine and I expect him to make some good strides this season. He will get some work in at some point early in the season and he should be much more comfortable back there in the event we need him.
