I was referring more to comments in the thread like this one.

He went on to be a bowl game MVP.

True, but DT was not good that year.  He actually regressed a little.  And in 2011, an argument could be made that Osborn looked the best out of the QBs.

But yeah, DT's performance a couple years later in the HOD Bowl was outstanding.

Sounds so familiar. Aune is more DT than he ever was McNuggets.

 

I remember @97and03 making this deduction back in 2020. Well, more so posing that Aune could be similar to DT in a lot of ways.

Well that’s kind of what I was getting at. Most here would say Aune regressed last year too. This could be the year.

If Aune has a big year leading us to 9+ wins and a bowl win, I'm having a flash sale on my feet pics for all fans!! $2 for all photos!!!

I think Aune is someone Seth feels "safe" with. However, I see nothing that says, or has shown, he can put the team on his back and be the reason we win. Would be nice to have the faith in our QB that he can do something special when needed.

The same could’ve been said about DT until Ball State 2013.

Man, DT showed so much grit that year.

What a steamer of a day at Apogee Stadium. Felt sorry for the Ball State players in all that Texas heat & humidity.

GMG!

Unfortunately, all but one of those highlights was a qb run! We need 60 percent completion DT this year.
