Rickie Collins

You'll see the highs and lows tmrw. Almost certainly we'll see his raw arm talent and just as likely he could throw 1-2 bad INTs. He'll settle in like Angeli did but I do expect an inconsistent first start.

Maybe.

Or maybe he'll be solid. I don't automatically expect this to be a CDRW-type of performance. We'll see what Rickie can do tomorrow.

You could argue getting sacked is worse than designed runs where the QB can actually attempt to slide and protect himself. Unless your Achilles is about to go.

Maybe you’re right.

I don’t know. Angeli was asked early on to make a lot of reads and passes against Tennessee on the road and then UConn gave us fits too cuz the line was a mess and we couldn’t run the ball.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but outside of QB1 I don’t think we had a single banged up guy on offense after last week which is unheard of after a trip to Clemson.

I'm relying principally to the bold portion. Our line seems to have really solidified since Tennessee... Hard to say if it's quality of competition or actual improvement. But, it's been said that Clemson had multiple future NFL players on their defensive line, and we came away pretty good.

More than that, Duke is averaging 153 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns allowed. I think we're going to be able to run against them, especially if Willis is healthy.

Of course, Duke's passing defense is even worse, allowing 70% completion percentage. They've gotten 10 sacks, though, half have come from one player.

I think only Colgate would have been a better team for Collins to get his first start against.

He throws a beautiful ball just has to add that touch.

I think Rickie is going to run for 6,7 yards.

For the love of god please explain what that means.

or bring back the classic intentionally throwing it OOB on 4th down to stop the clock.

Or spiking it on 4th down to end the game. *cough cough Cullpeper*

Even I dont know, and it's from my generation.

Butterfly wings.

Things happen for a reason.
It was meant to happen that way.

It was kinda the best of the worst case scenarios , where we managed to get to a bowl, but still were underwhelming enough such that Dino (deservedly) got the axe.

And thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster that it did!!
It brought us Fran.

I see what you did there w the flying spaghetti monster

Yes, you should

First, I don't like that Steve Angeli has to deal with his Achilles dilemma, and I'm wishing him the best in every step of the recovery. And about Mr. Collins... From what I've seen and read, (which isn't a whole lot,) there's one thing that stands out - he's relaxed, and I think that's indicative of the crew he's suiting up with. He's on a #team that Fran has built in short order. The guys, it seems, genuinely like each other and also seem to have each others' backs. Mr. Collins is gonna be just fine - maybe even with some greatness thrown in. Cheers and GO SU!
