Saw one of the cheerleaders get carried out mid-2nd quarter, poor guy looked like a rag doll. Also saw a couple trainer types sprinting for the tunnel at half to seemingly assist someone in distress. Pretty unbelievable to hear the PA guy say it's okay to leave the game early, tough conditions for a lot of folks for sure!

I keep trending toward Hank despite reservations about what's between the ears. I can't get past Heck's tinyness and arm strength, with occasional knuckleball.. It feels like he should be in FCS. Nothing better than a good underdog folk hero story, though, so hope springs eternal.
Hank was close to having a really good day. The bomb to Diaz was a half second late and two yards long, but a fine throw. The end zone sideline ball to Diaz was low percentage, but almost great. The sun could have been a factor for Diaz a couple of times. I'd like to know what happened on the near end zone miss to DJ. Miscommunication or missed throw? DJ can make that catch, though. The pick play where it was incomplete to Diaz seemed like a case of two guys not being on the same page.
Some QBs can spend a whole career being "close", though.

Heck didn’t look great. But I love seeing him do the read option. I hope and imagine he will continue to get occasional series

that boys neck hair is going to reach his chest hair very soon. impressive feat
I worked with him on a project many years ago and have been in a couple meetings with him. Super nice guy and engaging to talk with. I'm not sure if this role suits him well. I'm holding out hope he improves. Years ago I did some announcing for our youth sports. There's more to it than meets the eye. BTW...and I know I wasn't good.
