What are the odds Ashton Broyld is under center...

[bothsocksup]

during the first game of the year (shotgun or under center).

 

[OrangeBlood]

I would say little to no chance. (Barring Nassib Injury). Hunt will be the "wildcat qb"

 

[Chip]

I would say 0 to negative 4%.

That isn't some knock on Marrone or Nassib, but the odds of a true freshman being anywhere near ready to play on game 1 just aren't in Broyld's favor.

I would hate to see a repeat of the Joe Fields Purdue disaster. Even Graves and McNabb sat out that first year.

Could they have a couple plays designed for him? Probably. Not even sure we'd see that in Game 1 since we open with Northwestern. If it were the 1AA, and you knew you had no intention of redshirting him, then he could get some situational run.

Wouldn't be surprised.

See UF 2006.

He might play, but Nassib won't be coming off the field for a snap.

 

[Scooch]

If we can keep any and all news from escaping the Cone of Silence (tm) then I'd say 15.6%.

If not, 3.1%.

 

[Cuseregular]

for all our sakes lets hope toward 100%

chances are at 100%. believe me. Just dont know how often. No doubt the position is Nassib's as he gives us the best chance to win. Inserting Broyld in packages like he did Nassib w/paulus is guaranteed. This allows them to extend drives that normally stalled out last year. Plus Ashton will create big plays.

Depends on how tall the wall is.

I like the sound of this. Just another thing that opposing teams will have to game plan for. Do you know if Hunt has fallen out of favor with the staff?

 

[IHeartSUFball]

he needs to get a package ASAP...there was so much buzz around this spring camp until it was shut down because of Ashton...maybe have to make the drive to Roch to see him

I have no idea how they feel about Hunt. I do know they like Ashton very much

 

[OrangeAl]

You make a convincing case.

I'm assume they like him at QB and not say TE? Do they plan on keeping him there?

 

[money3189]

No TE. More like RB. Haha

 

[oldpinepoint]

I'm confused, as long as he gets on the field i'm happy. Kid is a gamer.

 

[money3189]

Exactly

 

[oldpinepoint]

great! i'm excited to watch him play.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

50%

 

[Tank19]

No TE. More like RB. Haha

Sounds like the stallion is back in play with Broyld running it??? Hopefully allows for more passing out of the formation

 

[MadNY3]

Pi.

All I will says is this (and I have zero inside knowledge here) - Marrone bemoaned the lack of big plays last year. I think we all can agree that Broyld brings the danger of the big play and is a player that if sucessful, will keep opposing DC's up at night.

It makes sense to me that what Marrone is really doing is protecting Ashton from the public eye. The kid is raw - and I don't think he wants Ashton to be scrutinized by the fans - who will either heap unrealistic expectations on the kid, or subject him to ridicule. I really don't think this is a competitive advantage thing. But I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to realize that Broyld is certainly the reason why practices are closed.

As of today, close to 0%. Tomorrow is another day though.

From what I know you are right on with most of your post.
