Rickie Collins

Our backup QB forced into action was a 4 star recruit that saw the field a little bit at LSU.

We’ve come a long way since Braden Davis, Mitch Kimble, Clayton Welch, Rex Culpepper, Austin Wilson, AJ, Long, etc.

Long was the kid that got the Syracuse bicep tattoo right? Did he ever see the field? I don’t remember lol.

Quick thoughts: Angelli was really coming into his own and was quickly building confidence. Really stinks to see him go down like that. Wishing him a quick recovery.

With Rickie, I think they need to keep it simple. I trust Nixon to incorporate what he does well. Though my viewings of him are limited, I’ve noticed that his mechanics and feet tend to be all over the map which leads in inconsistent accuracy. He has arm talent and seems athletic enough to be solid but the key will be limiting what we ask of him to start.

I think Carney would he the #2 if he wasn’t a true freshman. His biggest limitation seems to be size and experience.

With that said, I rooting hard for Rickie. He handled Angelli winning the job with all class and that goes a long way in the locker room.

I am concerned that Rickie will come in and try to force it too much as he did in the Colgate game. Especially in front of a sold out dome after a big win. However, I fully expect him to relax and play and be just fine. However long that takes is the mystery. Could be a few possessions, it could be a few games.

Yes that’s him. I think he actually won his first start.
