Is Liberty any good? I honestly have no idea, just seems like a weird "milestone" if they're mediocre at best. Possible they're meh, we beat them, and then go 1-7 in the ACC. Not sure how predictive that game is going to be.
so nice to see clean pockets, deep passes that were caught, a pop pass to the tight end and throwing to a guy that wasn't clearly open and allowing that receiver to make a play.
Lots of good FCS football being played in the Dakotas, and qbs being drafted from there.
You keep saying he made his choice but I don't see it that way at all. Devito was a safe play against OU. We have to win that game and Dino knows that. He was confident we can win with keeping Devito in and he gave him no reason to pull him. Devito looked better than Shrader during camp but that is not completely Live ball as we know. He is wanting to see what Shrader has but also knows we must win games. Dino will play whoever he thinks will win, period. Why would he not? Shrader hasn't shown a ton in his stints so far. He missed quite a few throws, hasn't been successful running the ball, and his overall command hasn't looked great. We all know Devito's faults. I'm still unsure who is the better QB to roll with and part of that is Shrader's smaller sample size. But Dino needs to win and he is keeping that in mind as well. I think Dino is getting too much blame for the number of QB snaps each is getting. You can debate the timing of when and the situations during the Rutgers game if you want. But we have to win games. You don't just put Shrader in half the time and Devito the other half to see who plays better. We have to win. The fans are mainly up in arms because the offense sucks in general and who can blame them. The QB starter is just a piece of that. He wants a decision to be made now just like the fans are clamoring for, although the fans are pretty split in that decision. He knows its better to run with one QB to get them and the offense into a flow. The longer it lingers the more it can cause problems in the locker room etc. Having them answer it on the field is the way. Problem is the answer is still blurry and Albany isn't exactly a great litmus test.
No because he hasn't been given a fair chance to show what he can do.
Man...I wish we had a WR on this roster like a senior Jamal Custis.
Was he given a fair shake at Miss St?
Yup. It’s tiresome. When SU is playing well, this board is a fun place to read and post and enjoy the ride. And sometimes, even when SU is not playing well, it’s a good place to get some depth of understanding regarding why, and what might be a more reasonable outlook than what I typically hear on the street. But lately in the last two weeks, it’s almost unreadable. I spend all of my time just trying to find a thread that isn’t bashing everyone or as you say, predicting worse case scenarios based on their own negative views.
Why would shrader go if he’s the starter next year?
Thank you. Good post.
That's because during those two weeks we beat a creampuff who gave up as many points to an FCS team as they did us. It's because during those two weeks we haven't seen a single TD pass. It's because the coach is starting to look lost and make excuses like crowd noise affected the home punter. We've seen this script play out, it doesn't end well. Schiano coached circles around Babers on Sat. Babers has been a head coach for 10 years now, he shouldn't be getting pantsed by Schiano. Tiresome is 4 winning seasons in 20 years. That for a fan is very tiresome.
Awesome. Thanks.
I agree. It's a viable route. My alma mater plays FCS ball. Just something he'd have to consider though.
Don't mention it
Please, no more what the family must have been promised to get a commitment...it sounds like something a certain parent would go on about.
How do we know we never really give anyone else a run.
What's the guarantee he is? Lamson and Morgan may have something to say about it
My favorite was when the UNC coach couldn't put his visor back on, prolly mulling his job options
