Where was Ruder ?

[greenjoe]

I read Bret’s write up on the scrimmage.  He reported Jace Ruder did not participate.  Does anyone know why ?

Hope it is nothing serious.

Hope he’s back competing for the starting job soon.

I hope he’s not in the transfer portal.

LOL.  Nope. Sorry to disappoint a lot of you.   A lot have already  written him off, but has been most consistent this spring so we will see what happens.

No disappointment here.  I was excited about his arrival and I look forward to his making a significant contribution this season.  His doing well in spring drills and then not participating in the spring game concerned me.

Thank you for you and your family’s thick skin. We get moody around here. Your son deserves as much shot at the starting job as anyone else on the roster.

This can’t be overstated.  All of it.

@NWKGREEN, you’re very brave coming on here.  I don’t think I’d be able to calmly reply to people giving my son a hard time.  Hope Jace is at a place where he can compete this Fall.

Consistently what? Just teasing. Big Ruder fan here. Rooting for him (and Stone) to do great things here.

Based on what I've seen and heard I'd prefer Earle were starting, but at this point I hope Ruder overtakes Aune as well.

Basically anybody but Aune. Don't have anything against him, but we know what he is and what he isn't. Give somebody else a shot

So are you saying you would only want them to play if they are better than Aune and you hope that they are? Or are you saying play any of the other 3 regardless of whether they are better or not because you know what Aune is and you don’t like it?

More of the first, but to a degree, I wouldn't mind seeing someone else anyways. We hit our stride because of our run game, not because of QB play. If we can get even a slight improvement at the position I'll take it.

I can't count how many times I was ripping my hair out at games because Aune couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Especially in the bowl game. Miami stuffed our run game and he couldn't make it up in the passing game. Meanwhile Gabbert on the other end was tearing us apart.

Obviously I want the best player to start, I'm just hoping it'll be someone else.

Believe us, I feel like most of us want him to be the guy over Aune this year
