This is a HORRIBLE assesment. Russell's O-line was VERY good, they gave him A LOT more time to throw the ball than Quinn's line did at ND. ND's O-line was quite possibly one of THE WORST in D1 this past year. I think Quinn did an amazing job with what he had to work with this year. You put Russell behind Quinn's line and he would have gotten destroyed all year with his poor mobility, Russell's numbers would have been almost non-existent. Let's also not forget "Jam Russ" had a MUCH better supporting cast, he had 3 VERY good WR's that he could go to at any time (Bowe, Davis, Doucet).
