Fran, I promise if you put Luke in the game and he brings us back from the abyss I promise not to say I told you so.
After the last 6 quarters Rickie should be done for a few games unless it's mop up time.
 
At what point do you pull Rickie? Keep in mind if you do the Frosh plays from here on out. Today or after the bye week.
 
This is football. Made by individual people making individual plays, with a bunch of random variability thrown in. Nothing to do with religion, yet some people think it does.
Jesus made me fumble
 
We are seeing a QB that cannot process the game properly.. he is doing a devito... he gets the play call and immediately knows where he is going with it regardless of D or coverage.. that works on maybe 20% of all plays..backshoulders and seam routes... he just isnt processing the game as a competent QB.. missed an open nixon on 2nd down over the middle and throws into double coverage becasue he had already decided where to go with it regardless of D.. in a nutshell.. the game is moving way to fast for him.. and it may never get a ton better
Devito NEVER had the luxury of the pocket time that Collins has gotten. If I recall correctly, TDV usually average less than 3 seconds to get rid of the ball.
 
Absolutely insane that Rickie was named the starter coming out of Spring. That’s scary
But somebody had to be, unless you wanted to leave it open and not say anything until fall I guess. But no matter what he said, at least Fran recognized he wasn't the starting QB answer by getting Angeli.
 
He will probably give Rickie the first series .. if he doesn’t score then Luke
 
one of my big issues with first half other than Collins... i want to know who is responsible for game planning bunch formations on 3rd and 4th when we need 2 yards. Even on the goal line play you could see Collins is not that comfortable taking it under center. IF we did not have confidence in Collins throwing the ball going into the game and we were going to run hard up the middle while giving the plays away before snap with formations.. that is just not smart.. SMU run defense is serviceable and can be above average against a mediocre run team like ours.. you could see it in their other games.. On the goaline play why not pitch it to Willis out of that set and let him go 1 on 1 with the LB? how about throwing some slants to spread out the LB's and give us some room in the middle? so much more ccould have been game planned better against this opponent.. its the first time I have seriously questioned Nixon because its almost as if he game planned on what he thought we couldnt do rather that get creative to hide the QB flaws.. basically giving the game away as our plan had no real chance from the get go. dissappointed is an understatement thus far for this game
