Fall camp thread

As great as it is that LVZ has picked up nicely at LBr, that statement is very concerning.

...Riley is 33-3 in the Big 12 conference games.

And if our game against OU follows recent form, this will be the score after ten minutes.

 

[McFroggin]

I'm wondering if the "real" starting QB, i.e. the guy who we want to take the most snaps against Purdue, is going to be not named starter tomorrow.

That wouldn’t be smart. Whoever our starter is, they’ll need all the experience they can get. SRob played 3Q’s of the blow-out last year, and it wasn’t enough to prepare him.

I think the only thing more reps would have helped with last year would have been boosting his turnover stat.

I would imagine the chosen guy will get all the reps next week leading up to Purdue. I still think GP wants to leave some mystery for the Boilermakers. If I’m right he’ll announce a 1a1b scenario tomorrow. With a starter / backup being revealed in Indiana

Looks like recruiting is still at the pace where the frogs dont just reload.

frogs are working to overcome a few missed classes at linebacker.

there is talent on the roster, but it is very young combined with ben being out with the foot injurty.

Opposing teams have lost a lot of games against Gary trying to run over his defense.

only running the ball yes, offenses that could run and pass the past 4-5 years have caused problems at times with young linebackers

OU and Texas tight ends come to mind.

You need a duo like Carder/Brock, 235 & 240 lbs. respectively to slow down a power running game and match up with big tight ends as Wisc. would testify too.

And not just TEs but big strong RBs like Sewo that can truck a 210 lb. LB.

If we are that worried about Purdue, we are screwed.

Obviously nothing last year, but Boykin, Dalton, etc all needed experience to shine. You have to play them, so that they have a chance against real competition.

Do you know anything at all about Gary Patterson?

If Arkansas Pine Bluff presents even the slightest hint of real competition, we are in for a long season.

 

[McFroggin]

I do. He always gives the planned starting QB ample playing time against our yearly “warm-up game”. He may hold back on the play calls, but he doesn’t hide reps.

Not quite sure what you are debating, but there is value in real reps.

As I said...he’s already announced he will split the 1st Quarter reps against APB..How much ample playing time do you think a QB is going to get?

 

[More Frogs the Better]

I wasn't debating anything, just making a statement. I would have to assume that you would realize that if any player or unit is challenged enough by what APB brings here Saturday night to have it amount to "real competition," that player or unit is likely to face a significant struggle against actual, real P5 competition.

 

[asleep003]

PBA is a fortunate opportunity to allow the present #1 and 2, to split time to see who best moves the offense, prior to P5 action.

 

[robbroyy]

I’m 110% expecting it to be Delton on Saturday and Purdue. If it’s close at all, Patterson should use it on the grad transfer and try to save a redshirt for Duggan. Let Duggan get stronger and hopefully if Rogers doesn’t transfer he can be healthy next year for a 3 man race with Duggan and Baldwin
