Luke Carney

Does not have to be all or nothing, can give carney a few series with designed or scripted plays and runs.

Sure hope to see Carney play at the Pitt game if Collins continues to struggle. I would hate to think we have a better QB sitting on the bench for whatever reason.

At this point I hope Fran starts Carney at QB the last three games of the season to get him some experience and save his redshirt year.

Collins will leave if he is benched and Carney can battle Angeli for the starting job in 2026. If Angeli wins the job we will have an experienced backup QB for two years and then Carneyntakes the reigns in 2028.

Collins has left - there is no way he will be in Cuse next year

Luke is a TR FR who did played at a super small school in TX. It’s like a kid going from Jordan Elbridge to P4.

Really wish Jakhari would be the obvious choice with more practices under his belt

Something has to change prior to Pitt. Would love it to be Collins actually playing with the “soft eyes” he’s being cos he’s to learn. But can’t imagine that magically happen.

And I have no problem with Fran sticking to Collins for two full games post the injury to QB1. Duke was a complete system fail. SMU is far more frustrating, and to see Gattis and a RFR OT yell at Collins is really telling. Fran is dealing with an adversity that could kill the season and damage the offseason.

Thank goodness for the bye week.

If you think any Texas high school is comparable to JE, you are not well versed in Texas football. Any Texas football school would knock the snot out of JE.

I think the staff is in the mind set that if they fix Collins then we could easily go 4-2 the rest of the way. And then next Spring you have a real QB battle. If we start Carney we have to white knuckle our way to at best 3-3.

IMO that is fool's gold, but they aren't ready to give up on that yet.

If we play Collins as the starter for Pitt, it is a loss, book it. G Tech another L. Maybe we can snesk past NC,maybe. no other wins this season period, even BC would be a huge lift.
This staff needs to move on, no sure thing in doing that for this year, but maybe we could catch lightning in a bottle. With the status quo we suck.

From what I googled last week, AI gave me an answer that they don't round up. 4 games is over the 3.6 requirement. But AI could be wrong.

AI?
