Luke Carney

[Moontan]

I don’t think so. I think if there is not notable improvement by Pittsburgh, then we make the change the following week.

Two weeks of practice should show which of the 3 is best prepared to spit on Pitt.

 

[AngryOtto]

Well we have to hope that Angeli's recovery goes well first and also that another school doesn't poach him if healthy. Lots of moving parts but yeah there would be no way Carney waits around for three seasons.

Now it may not happen but what if Carney came in showed great poise and won games. Why does everyone think Angeli would automatically win the job back. Angeli was really coming into his own but no one knows what Carney can do in live action.

Not sure this is true. I’m sure Ricky looks great in practice but it does not translate to live action.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

I’m in

 

[Moontan]

I'd like to see him get at least one possession per half, preferably 3-4 for the game.
Give him a shot. Rickie's still #1, but we want our "backup" to have some experience.

If Rickie's improved and does well against Pitt then this may not happen again until the BC game.
If Rickie still struggles and Luke is looking good then they can try it again at GA Tech (I'll be there ).
If things don't improve at GA Tech then give Luke the reins on Halloween, or split it 50/50.

Luke can't start at Miami or ND if he hasn't gotten more experience and shown his skills.

I wouldn’t be too sure - ask Uncle Cook how Collins looks in practice

 

[CuseBlood44]

out of that list, safe to say Williams is gone, its looking like it would be in the best interest of both partys for Rickie to Leave, I don't think Carney is leaving despite how much of this board thinks he should, Belin might leave if he truely feels he has no path to playing time.

With carney being a Texas kid there are more factors at play. I could see him wanting to get into a better situation at a place like Texas state, north Texas, etc. or maybe a p4 promised him the 2

 

[CuseBlood44]

No he’s ticked off. He’s not out of his depth football related. He has very tough decisions to make.

He brought in a highly ranked qb and then recruited over him. If Angeli was not hurt we are probably 5-1. It’s killing him. He can’t exactly abandon Rickie because he has to kill In the portal and you can’t be the coach that throws out transfers after 2 collegiate starts. Let’s say Carney goes in and struggles too. What then? It’s painful to watch young teams grow but that’s what we have.

His coaching staff has totally let him down. Not getting Yasin the ball is criminal. And the defense played a lot better in the second half….why? They outschemed the offense. Can’t get into 20 point holes at this level.

Fran will be fine.

We give Yasin the ball on 3rd or 4th and short and he gets stuffed consistently …

to be honest, I kinda want to give Nixon some of these 4th down carries. He has more lateral mobility to find a crease in the line. Lequint was the master of 4th downs and short distances. He could elevate with the best of em to get over the line.

Absolutely. We haven’t seen Carney beyond the one series against Colgate so Angeli is the guy next year until further notice. Lets hope we get to see Carney start in a week and a half

 

[Cuseregular]

yeah lets give this kid a shot when Rickie falters, Jr. highlights. Gonna find his sr. year too

 

[CuseLegacy]

We have one thing to look forward to...There's always next year.

 

[Cuseregular]

same jr year but more, look at the throw at 3:15, ridiculous, and can't be taught. Kid can play, a winner and if he's really 6'2" 200 (or close) and can really bench 300lbs (300!) he has enough size and strength.

 

[Cuseregular]

yeah, whoa, me likey. Has has the tools it appears, the skills needed and is McCord and Angeliesque in his style. Again give rickie the first half or at least first quarter, if no bueno, it's time for this kid. It appears he has all the tools:

Class of 2025 Post in thread 'QB Luke Carney (TX) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/4/24)'

The fear is if he doesn't get a crack at it, he gone, or one would think.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Let's just look at the ages of this crew.

Angeli (born November 18, 2003)-->22 in a month / 23 half way through next year. 2 years left of eligibility.
Rickie (born May 17, 2005)-->20 years old now.
Carney (born ?)--> Best I can find is he's a 19 year old Freshman

Don't know what this tells us but Rickie at 20 and Carney at 19, I thought there might be a bigger age gap given Rickie is in his 3rd year of college.

Was blown away that Angeli if he uses all his eligibility would be 25 at the end of his last college football season.

Drake Maye is 23... Either you have it or you don't. I am gradually coming over to the "Let Carney have the ball, and see if Angeli can take the job back next fall" camp.

Watching his high school highlights didn't hurt my progression to team Carney, not one bit.

For one thing, he consistently looks off the defense, uses pump fakes to move defenders and seems to be able to anticipate routes and defenses as a high school QB better than Collins does now. He also has a football throw, not a pitcher's wind up.

I've hated the Collins wind up since first seeing it when he committed here.

“I've hated the Collins wind up since first seeing it when he committed here.”

This.

It’s all had to see from the beginning to know he wasn’t an answer to our need.
