he was looking downfield, someone lost their block, and then he got absolutely PANCAKED from behind.....it was brutal, and would have been the same result for anyone back there. Awful situation.
I think a more accurate way to say what you're trying to say is: "The offense didn't look as dynamic as the year went on"....for whatever reason. Quality of opponent....opponent "figuring out" our offense....not the right pieces in place...could be many factors.
Established means who's been around longer... Who's been a starter longer. It doesn't mean "who's been established in my mind as the better player..."
I vehemently disagree that Masoli is held in higher regard than Nichols by anyone who matters...
