Cuz Mom didn't want them around those downstate girls. ;-)

Or maybe it was the dining hall food?

Well, Downstate girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And Southern Tier girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Lockport farmer's daughters
Really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night


I wish they all could be Onondaga girls

Just committed, per Mike M.

Interesting.

 

[GeauxSU]

Well there's the answer to all of you yapping about the QBs room.

Just committed, per Mike M.

He was considered a 4 star recruit in HS. ESPN had him as the 199th best prospect in the country in the class of 2018.

Was an Under Armor All American. Went to Penn State initially. Dual threat QB who is a very good athlete. 4.58 40.

Has never found success at the college level.

Coming in as an athlete and has barely thrown a pass, we still need a QB! I wonder if as a coach’s son he can be brought in as a walk on?

Like the add but seems like Dan V type of QB

Exactly, happy to have him but as an athlete, not a feasible QB. I am hoping they still find a QB, I have PTSD ever since the BC game last year. Actually, have backup QB PTSD going back to 2014

He's not the answer at QB.

Yep - I think this is the additional RB option that was being alluded to.

Michael had what appears to be his first real playing time at FAU in 2023.

He attempted one pass and it was incomplete.

He returned 2 KOs.

And he had 23 rushing attempts. Averaged 6.1 ypc. Nice.

But the number that caught my eye were the 7 TDs on 23 carries.

He actually finished 7th in the American conference in rushing touchdowns. With 23 carries.

Now even though I was on the FAU campus for the Boca Bowl, I did not see Michael or FAU play then or at any point last season. But I assume he was a red zone specialist who had a knack for getting in the end zone, and this is how he got most of his carries (and his TDs). And if that is true, it is interesting.

Cool

Does he count against 85?

 

[Qbobby]

Good speed, has potential. I trust the coaches on what they see.

I actually think that is someone else

If the thought is a redzone specialist that is sort of interesting. Does seem to make more sense with our #1 option being McCord at QB who is not at all a runner. But then again why not stick Villari in that roll? I guess he would certainly be a different style runner than Villari.
