CGP himself after the first practice today. Said he feels really good about our depth. Also dropped a very strong hint that Pachall is the man at QB. (Not a shock.) Not gonna get too carried away after one practice, but if CGP is feeling this good then I think we're in for a great season. Lots of good quotes from Stefan and the Horned Frog Blitz guys on Twitter.

I feel very positive too. I really think if we could go 7-5 after what the team went through last year, there is no telling what we could do with a full experienced roster. All we need is to find someone who can catch punts.

Best QB depth too. Matthews is making a run at #2.

Good to hear. It would be very disappointing if that were not the case.

"Patterson also said Story, who stands 6 foot 4 and weights 220 pounds, ran a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash."
Nice to hear. He and Ladarius Brown...twin towers.

That's wishful thinking on CDS' part. That hasn't been reported anywhere.

Also, Story had a 640 squat according to 360.

Yeah it has, just not specifically that Matthews has jumped Boykin (doubt he has and won't for a long while if he does). He is fighting to retain his spot but Matthews is not sucking like others stated last year and got better down the stretch while Boykin got worse. Additionally Matthews fits the offense way better. Bokyin still has a great chance because of the intangibles, arm strength, experience, speed and leadership but that being said Matthews will definitely push to start in 2014. Foolish to think otherwise.

Talking about the MSU game, after he had nearly 4 weeks to heal and played his worst game of the season after a crapload of snaps. Can he get better? Yep without a doubt, hence the reason I said he very well may start in 2014. People discrediting Matthews make no sense. He fits the system better than Boykin and may very well beat him out in 2014 or he may not. However he has never played real time yet so Matthews is unknown until then.
Don't get so defensive. Boykin had a few good games, a few average games and 2 horrendous ultimately better than Dalton did his first year.

Cdsfrog, what exactly is your source? None of this has been published anywhere. Sorry to say but you look like you're talking out of your packmule.

I'm wondering that as well, as he's said the same thing in a couple of threads. I follow things pretty closely and I don't remember seeing/hearing hardly anything about Matthews' play since he's been on campus.

Yeah, I mean we're all rooting for Matthews to be awesome, but anything at this point is just conjecture and wishful thinking
