It's always the kids coming in but we have two true freshman

[IthacaBarrel]

that could be the next great ones or at least serviceable, lets hope but starting next year we have four qb's on the team all freshman in some fashion or the other. Good lord, if we cant find a kid that can sling it and run as well, what are we doing.

We also have some receivers coming in, GMC has been below average at best with his offense but I would think that we are at least building something there, at least he is recruiting his way out of what appears to be a hole.

I'm also worried about the offensive line not being coached up like they were the previous four years.

I'm not really worried about the line so much. They seem decent in both pass blocking and run blocking. And with 4 starters returning it should be a definite strength next year. That shoudl help if we have a fereshman QB and 2 or 3 of our top WR's are freshman. If they can catch its up to MacDonald to figure out a way to get them the ball.

I agree with this. It seems like the O-Line is catching some flack for their pass protection, but it appears to me that Hunt has time to the throw the ball. The major issue, as we've all beaten to death, are the WR's not getting open. While Hunt tends to lock in on his 1st option, I don't even know how much that matters. Because options 2, 3 and 4 aren't getting open either.

O-line not a problem. WR and QB have major question marks to be answered. I'd also ask why Kendall Moore isn't playing more. His RS is already blown, and he showed good things against NW, so get his big ass out on the field!

I'm impressed by how far Ivan Foy has come, and how quickly, since a nightmare game against Penn State. He was doing the same stuff at the end of last year under Marrone so either they game plan around him or someone is doing a good job of coaching. I forgot to monitor this one after Penn State, I was too busy trying to tell myself everything is going to be OK.

Who is going to get open to catch the ball?

Who is going to get open to catch the ball?

Briskly and the two Coreys?

Briskly and the two Coreys?

Or KJ Williams (offers from Arizona, Michigan, Mizzou, Pitt, Rutgers, UCLA, Wisconsin)

Or Jamal Custis (offers from Pitt, Rutgers, UVA)

Still in the running for Steve Ishmael (offers from BC, Louisville, Miami, Pitt, Rutgers, Tennessee, West Virginia)

I don't know if any of those guys will be able to contribute next year. But winning battles against those schools should mean a talent upgrade at a much needed skill position.
