Our starting QB next year is not on campus at this time.
So who is the actual QB this week/moving forward?
- Thread starter Chongo94
- Start date

Was I supposed to type something here?
More than anything, it points to ineffective recruiting.

Some very good sources say that Sonny kind of promised Chad. And he didn't deserve to be the starter either year based on on-field performance. There were insiders that believed Hoover was the better player coming out of fall camp. Looks like they were right.
Some people are great practice players and suck in real time and vice versa.
Personally I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between the two. Morris had some really good moments too. His stats are actually a bit better. Completion % and yards per attempt pretty much a wash, CM 12/5 TD/INT ratio to Hoover's 11/8.
I think the thought that there's no doubt that Hoover is better is off base, but I have no problem with them going with Hoover, because of age and lack of injuries more than anything.

I personally thought Hoover would go back to the bench after the Texas Tech game. There was entirely too many off-target passes to wide-open receivers for my liking. Combined the number off INTs during the stretch of his starts, I didn't think he'd done enough to hold the starting spot. Obviously, the coaching staff sees it differently. He's been great in 2 games, awful in 1 game, and decent in 2 others. Hopefully we see great again this week.

i had the same thoughts that week. Assumed that meant Morris wasn’t completely recovered so they just kept Hoover on the field.

I'm fully on board with Hoover also. The experience this year, plus spring and fall practice should give him a nice start to next season. Bowl game practice would be a bonus. Unless something comes along via the portal, I think you have to give Hoover the job going into next year. The answer isn't Morris though.

Hoover has a lot (a whole lot) more upside imo.

I know. Its a lot for some to comprehend at this point.

He looks better every week. But then he was the better QB in the spring game. He was known as a very good passer coming out of a Class 6A program. He can zing and sling. Has good touch when needed. Wouldn't surprise me if Newton isn't right.

Not good when QB 3 is wearing #24!

Crazy that Chandler is only officially a sophomore. At this rate he'll be eligible to serve in the House of Representin' before he exhausts all his eligibility.

Agree. I agree with sticking with Hoover- he’s played well enough and shows some real promise. But I don’t agree with the idea that there is some sort of huge gap. Stats are similar and Morris adds a little bit of a rushing threat. If Hoover’s shoulder is worse than it seems and/or struggles early against OU, I think we’ll see Morris without much hesitation.

70s the minimum for politicians these days.
Well, now that you mention that, Kay Granger is retiring. Hmmm.

Don't think he can run through Craig Goldman without hurting his knee.
