Why put Torrey at PR/KR, he is already overused at RB, should have some capable players to save Torrey.

Please Littrell P-L-E-A-S-E!!!!!

 

Please make the game competitive in University Park on Saturday. For sh*t's sake...Can we just NOT get blown out and completely destroyed? I don't think that's too much to ask for our 6th year head coach. I'm so sick of the embarrassing lack of Littrell's team's competitiveness when we play good teams.

Unvalidated audio from the RB room from Coach Patrick Cobbs:

”If I did it, you can do it too!”

I thought that was Cade Pearson the whole game with a 10 on his jersey.

I have zero problem with Ruder starting.  But wouldn’t it be interesting if, after Southern Meth sent scouts to check out Ruder, we started Aune.  We will need every edge we can get to win Saturday.

Oh they know damn well what Austin Aune can do. They are probably hoping not to face him again now that we have some semblance of a defense.

With how he looked, I'd be inclined to agree.

This is the guy that's supposed to lead us to 6+ wins? I know it's one game but woof

The more games I attend, the less I know about the game.

I would have gone with Aune, but maybe Seth was intent on Torrey having a huge game.

Before the decision was made, many on here were saying “if the race is even close, we should just go with Ruder since if he has closed the gap that quickly, he’s probably the better QB.”

Wondering if this was Seth’s thought as well.

honestly, I could barely tell much difference. I think Aune had the better arm for long throws and good accuracy. But I think Ruder may have some playmaker intangibles that didn't really shine during his first outing in a long long while. 

It's a coin toss but I'm just glad to see Seth sticking to the plan and letting it grow.

Along with the talent we saw flashes of, composure was another big plus for a first start.
