He has some competition at QB but here's to him having a fairy tale season.

I'd say his name reflects his prospects.

With the way recruiting is wrapping up, I anticipate 4 QBs lining up in the trenches and snapping to Epps.

Following up the question as to why he chose NMSU, then answering the question of what is his next goal?

I hate these stupid All Pass offenses these kids run in high school. No wonder so many coordinators are having a difficult time evaluating them? They rarely ever get touched. They fake it then throw before anyone gets close to them. And defenses are such of little concern by so many XYZ district team that there's open recievers all over the place for them to get rid of the ball. So when they get to college where DB's can cover and DE's and DT's can bring the house, a coordinator has no idea how tough the kid is until he gets lit up a dozen times, and that never happens in camp cause they put a red shirt on them and cauddle them during practice.

So they never know till real game time. This is where Dickey truly seemed to know what he was doing?

This is why no one could unseat Davis, Maher, Hall and Thompson. They were tough as shit and refused to stay down.

I agree on the concerns expressed about QB assessment by staff. Feels like we were not properly prepared or ready for prime time last year.

I hate it, too, but 95% of Texas high schools run some version of the spread these days. It protects the QB and the kids love it because it is fun to play in that offense. Now, imagine how those QBs feel when they get recruited by UNT, where our offensive gameplan is from a 1975 playbook. Not only do those QBs want to play in an offense they know and are used to playing some version of from their HS days, they know that they are gonna handoff the ball here or throw lots of slants or bubble screens here, very little downfield--where INTERCEPTIONS and INCOMPLETIONS happen!!

With this offense, we are gonna have to pray we find a Scott Hall type of leader, a guy who can play a busdriver role fairly well. Thompson wasn't as good as Hall, and McNulty isn't as good as Thompson. Beyond this, the QBs you are gonna see coming here aren't going to be big-time passers--other schools are going to use the Dickey offense that we run against us if we even talk to a decent passer. But if you find the right guy, Hall was certainly that guy for sure, to run this style of offense, you can have one gritty QB that is just a great leader of your whole team--and he doesn't make bad mistakes so the running game and a dominating defense can win games for you. We saw that in the 2001-2004 run, as well as in 2013. But if the QB is not a bus driver, but instead freelances and takes chances, guys like Dickey and McCarney aren't gonna put up with them. As we realized in 2005-2006 and last year, if the defense isn't there, this type of offense cannot win much for you. It only wins if the defense is stout and the special teams is solid.
