Rickie Collins

I'm certain the staff is thinking and talking through just these kinds of scenarios.

I just hope that if Collins doesn't get the offense going in the first half at SMU, the staff pulls the plug and goes with one of the youngsters.

Taller than you most likely

Don’t think he is a quarterback.

Why would they do that?

 

[tptcuse]

I doubt he’s that tall.

I was a few feet away from him when he walked by in the quad walk. No way he is 6'2". He looked strong though.

I’ll ask a sincere question… who can name an SU QB who’s had this rocky of a start to his career here that turned out to be good?

At this point, Collins’ resume includes being benched after his first series vs Colgate, struggling in the 4th quarter against Clemson, and today’s disaster.

I don’t want to say the guy is unsalvageable. But I’m racking my brain to think of someone who was this lousy to begin his time at SU yet ended up being a good starter.

Won’t happen. I suspect we will have to go 0-3 for a change to happen.

I know it's early, but expect Collins to finish out the year and then we won't see him again. One of the young guys will step up to be the backup next year, then step into the starting role the year after or Fran will find someone else in the portal.
