Sounds like he’s going to pick a guy and roll with him instead of going with co-starters. Tough to tell who that call will be but kind of sounds like verbiage is setting things up for it to be Ruder. Who knows though?

Honestly the bar is pretty low (not terribly so) at QB for us. If Aune or Ruder is the man, then I'm cheering him on every Saturday and bitching every Sunday.

I just want the team behind one man only until he's out for injury or incompetence. I think most of this board is hoping ruder turns out to be everything we hope a P5 QB can be, but it sounds like Aune is really making his presence known. I love a good QB competition, just not a QB rotation

I predict that both QBs get significant playing time against NWS, with Aune starting. The FT starter will be named in time for smut.

Go Mean Green!

I disagree.  Pick one and stick with ‘em like you didn’t do with Bean.

That could be coach speak to build up Ruder since Aune won the job.

Said it before. Aune/Ruder is 10,000 times a better QB duo than Bean/Aune. No disrespect to Jason. Our QB1 is going to be legit this year regardless of who it is and that's worth getting hyped over.

Don’t forget that aune was a p5 signee as well. Either one sounds like a step up from last year.

This is very true.  He was also let go at Arkansas when Chad Morris was there.  So forgive us if we have some doubts.

Ha! Let go by. . . or saw the sinking ship and left. Besides, I was referring to his initial commitment to TCU.

They saw what a disaster last year was in that category. I would’ve been very disappointed if we didn’t pick one and run

He wasn’t let go. He decided to leave and come to North Texas

My doubts have nothing to do with his leaving Arkansas, they are all based on his actual performance at North Texas.  I am certain that the "but but but he had the best passer rating of any CUSA quarterback on a Saturday evening with cloudy skies and the temperature between 65 and 82 degrees" crowd will now come for me, but there is simply no denying that he shared Bean's propensity to loan the ball to the opposition and he was rotated with Bean by this coaching staff for a reason.

I wanna know that the entire O will run through walls for our QB.  Whoever it ends up being.

Good point. I am also less worried about a QB who can put up stats foe 3 1/2 quarters than one who can finish when the game is on the line.

Very impressive for Ruder to pick things up that quickly. He's clearly an intelligent kid who is willing to put in the work to pickup the offense in such a short amount of time. Love to have a real competition at QB!
