three mediocre qb performances in a row

JJ makes great choices with his feet and has 0 t.o ssh would not be able to say the same. Ssh is no where near the player JJ is.

IMO, people are concerned that JJ has not been as accurate as of late. Maybe it is still concussion symptoms, I don't know, but he has been missing a lot of wide open receivers in these first games. Personally I think he will come around as the O-Line continues to get better but mistakes that happened by everyone in the first quarter need to get cleaned up.

The SD newspaper characterized it differently: " . . . Johnson, who sat out last week's game against Central Washington with a concussion, was sharp in his return . . . "

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Jordan Johnson threw two touchdown passes Saturday to lead Montana to a 28-20 win over South Dakota.

Johnson, who sat out last week's game against Central Washington with a concussion, was sharp in his return, hooking up with Mitch Saylor on a 12-yard scoring play and Jamaal Jones on a 14-yard touchdown toss in the third quarter.

Montana (2-1) also forced three South Dakota (1-2) turnovers — the final one coming with 5:20 to play in the game when Matt Hermanson picked off a Ryan Saeger pass at the Jackrabbits 45.

South Dakota cut Montana's lead to 28-20 with 1:50 to play when Saeger hooked up with Eric Shufford Jr. on a 31-yard scoring pass. But Miles Bergner's onside kick attempt went out of bounds and the Grizzlies ran out the clock.

Montana's John Nguyen scored on a 9-yard run late in the first quarter and the Grizzlies never trailed.

This was from a SD newpaper? Pretty pathetic when writers in that state can't keep the two programs straight.

It is not a JJ problem, it is a fan problem. When you have unrealistic expectations, you are always disappointed. The simple fact is the Griz have no business being ranked where they are. Also, besides already having a young Oline, we had a true freshman playing last week and I don't think the general fan base knows just how bad JJ's concussion was at Wyoming. I concede he may have been a bit off, but I believe he ran the offense efficiently and didn't do anything to hurt them. We will see more this week, until then I am reserving judgement.

And it is funny of all the people that are judgmental of Shay, obviously most have never met the kid. I get talking about his performance, but there is no need for personal attacks of him. He knows the offense, he is smart and he communicates well with the coaches and other players. On top of all that, he is a great young man that will be a fine example of what being a student/athlete is supposed to mean. He accepts his role on the team without a complaint and represents the University and the football program very well.

JJ's stock is down. I'm buying on the dips.

[argh!]

if johnson is playing with concussion symptoms, then the whole staff needs to be fired. i would assume that he isn't. and regardless of rank, o-line, etc, he's been serviceable, but missed too many passes and made too many questionable decisions for a payton award candidate-level player, which many many here think he is/was.

and for those who want to lecture, good luck changing the nature of a message board! gawd forbid if you take it as seriously as it sounds, and gawd double-forbid if players like johnson do!
