Btw... Who's our QB this weekend?

I was thinking the same thing this morning. lol. Is Long back from his injury? I think it will be telling, particularly since we are not going to a bowl game. The starting QB the next two weeks will be the frontrunner going in to the Spring.
 
I would say if AJ is healthy he gets the nod. I haven't seen anything from the other two after him that impressed me against Dook.
 
Concerning our QB's: Now that all of the young guys have played, here are my thoughts. There was a lot of talk, before he played about how good Wilson was and what a great passer he was. Well, there is more to passing than Arm Strength. Yes Wilson has a strong arm, but he appears to lack touch and accuracy and has no mobility. The other redshirt freshman from Illinois, has good mobility and size, but can't pass. Accuracy and arm strength seem to be lacking. That leaves us with AJ, who makes up for what he lacks in size, with Moxy, leadership, mobility, and accuracy. Going forward, he seems to have the greatest playmaking ability of all of our QB's. The wild card is the QB from Florida who is expected to enroll in January. If he shows up and is as skilled as advertised, we will have a couple of young talented QB's going forward. I think Wilson transfers.
 
Really doubt they'd even try to get Hunt on the field the rest of the season. Give AJ the run these last two weeks and hope Hunt wins back the starting job next year.
 
if his leg is no longer broken, play hunt as much as possible this year and next. i don't care if he's a junior, he's not that experienced, he needs games and throws

redshirt long MA PROTEIN SHAKES

kimble and wilson get their shot if hunt gets hurt again.
 
Do we even need one?

Punters gotta punt!

Kimble was thrown in a tough spot. Scout team all year, they throw him into the middle of the game (with only 16 available plays), on an offense that can't run the ball (unless he's going to be the runner). Not to mention we back him up on our 2 yard line to start a couple of drives.

He still led us to I think our only red zone TD against FBS competition, and probably made one of the nicer throws all year on that 3rd down to West, facing an all out, completely unblocked blitz.

He needs more time in the oven, but I wouldn't give up on him just yet. I liked his ability to see holes and get yardage with his speed.
 
@dougherty_jesse: Depth chart's out for the Pittsburgh game — Wilson (No. 1) and Kimble (No. 2) only QBs listed. Hayes (RG) and Emerich (C) also listed as 1s.

I think it's way too early to make a judgement on Kimble-How many bad passes did he have? Half the time he played, they were on their 2 yard line and there was at least one dropped pass on another. He also did have a TD drive capped by a nice run. If Hunt's not healthy, I play Long and Kimble (assuming they're healthy).

That is just not correct. Wilson has accuracy and touch and the best long ball of everyone. What is more, he is the only one that can make all the throws. However, he is just like AJ - needs experience. I doubt they will take any chances on anyone who is not healthy enough tom play so if AJ has any lingering effects I don't think we will see him.
 
yea thursday is the telling report, we will see. It has been mostly hush hush with Hunt. I would like to see him in there because I want to WIN, and ready for a WIN.

Hunt isn't coming back this year.

I'm not so sure. Wilson doesn't seem to have the accuracy Long does - and definitely can't read defenses very well. Long throws picks trying to make a play; Wilson throws them to defenders.
 
Hopefully Long is ready, he is our best option if Hunt is out. I'd like to see what AJ could do with some of the injured guys back.

Your last sentence is just silly.
 
Looks like AJ is not ready to go - its Wilson and Kimble again.

Monday depth chart is worthless since all they do is copy how they finished the prior game

That is not really true. It has changed quite a bit this season.

I think your severely overstating Wilson's abilities. If I remember correctly Long has hit more deep passes then Wilson, who seems to constantly overthrow, so for a guy who has the best long ball it doesn't seem like it has actually happened when it matters. I just don't see Wilson as the starter for us in the future, He isn't a good enough passer to make up for his lack of mobility which at the college level is so important.

Maybe not worded as clearly as I would have liked. But what I meant to say is that it seems like Austin throws his INT's based on misreads.

He doesn't seem as adept at reading the defense presnap or during the play...

When has Wilson Had a real chance . I thought He was really moving the offense in the second possession vs Dook and they yanked him in the red zone and killed the mojo.
 
1 Q: Wilson
2 Q: Kimble
3 Q: Long
4 Q: Hunt

If Hunt and AJ will be back sometime soon. Lets get this competition started! O yeahh!!!
