Who wouldn't want to play QB or WR here?

[GoSU96]

Out of the gate, through 5 games, with a young and changing situation at OL and a running game that hasn't gotten going.

A WR picked up off the waiver wire and a true sophomore QB that wasn't even a 247 top 1000 player with no other P5 offers are throwing up these rankings.

Should we start naming reasons or is the question rhetorical?

What do you think?

Would love to play those positions, can we find guys to play D.

Kingsley, Fagan, Morton, Trotter, Coley, Nelson, Walton, Black, Ruff, Clarke, Coleman, Armstrong. I think we can

Go ahead and name some. I'm interested.

Let me start:

- Too many catches, my hands hurt

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This has always been possible in the Dome.

In a few years when this thing is really rolling we're going to look back on our program and wonder why we fought so hard against doing the really obvious thing that could make our program stand out.

I don't like to run very much.

I like playing QB but I hate lifting my elbow above my shoulder.

The thing that's funny is we've had a program that emphasized defense first... and it got us a depth chart where we're starting freshmen defensive ends and a secondary by committee.

So...

half of dungey's throws are sidearm so that reason's out

EA Sports has you covered, Mr. armchair/couch QB!

He's no Dan Quisenberry. Those particular throws aren't going where they are intended. So I hope he goes back to over handed throws for them.

 

[TheCusian]

I prefer to be an anonymous WR who is known for good blocking

I feel bad for CB's I play against; they have feelings too

 

[OrangeFoo]

Not a recruiting buff so I'm curious as to whether we are seeing any direct benefit on the recruiting trail based on this season or do we have to wait until the season is over? I know we already have our QB and a few receivers signed up so maybe we are done for the year in those positions?

 

[SYR2RDU]

The same reason schools like Texas Tech, Houston, and Hawaii have not landed big time QB prospects... need to win and it will change.

I feel like Tech at least never needed to recruit elite QBs or receivers... their system created prolific QBs and receivers. This is the beauty of the Dino system... we aren't going to need elite receivers and QBs just accurate ones and dudes who can get open and catch the ball. They don't need to be pro prospects just good college ones.

I want to know when Dino's going to put a friggin' fullback in.

We have a big time QB prospect verballed.

 

[TheCusian]

NFL scouts make me nervous

I like to watch handoffs. Passing is too new school.

 

[Brooky03]

The big question is who's going to want to play OL here? Linemen don't like running; most are allergic to it. I know Dino favors more svelte linemen but still, we might struggle to get solid recruits on the OL for a while.

Texas Tech was at their peak when Michael Crabtree was on campus. He was elite out of HS.

So...

You deserve the biggest high five for this comment.

You and Kenneth Ruff both.
