Who should start and how soon (if at all) should we pull the starter if things don't go well on scoring?

I have been going back and forth between Woody and Meager as to who should get the start against ArkState. I think Phillips is too immobile for our poor offensive line play. We need somebody back there that can move. Both Meager and Woody can run, though I think Woody gets the edge in this department. Yesterday, I leaned towards Meager starting, and today woke up thinking Woody should get the start and get pulled if he starts throwing interceptions or looks inconsistent. With many reservations, I pick Woody at this point. My prediction: DD will have Meager start.

Here's something I haven't read in awhile: We go through the 2006 season with no Qb really asserting himself. Setting ourselves up for the 4-way Qb contest next spring (Wilson, Phillips, Meager, and Tune). That should be enough quarterbacks so that none of them get any real practice time.

Put in Tune.

If not start Meager, he won the game last week.

I don't know anything about Tune, but I certainly wouldn't put in a QB that hasn't taken a snap. IMHO, our "offense" is already out of sync enough without a new, freshman QB. I'd choose Meager over Tune, at least for right now.

I'm still hanging on to the small thread of hope Wilson showed during the SMU win. After that game, most of this board agreed that we had found our QB for the next 3 years.

When has Meager, in 12 games last year, performed to th point where most fans felt good about the QB position. i will answer that -->NEVER.

I can't say much about Phillips as he hasn't played enough to pass any judgement.

I won't even think about Tune.

In short, I still say you stick with Wilson. If he comes out laying a fat goose egg, pull him.

I can't help but wonder how much Meager's poor play was b/c of coaching... look at how Wilson's performance has degraded over time, though admittedly, he has made some very poor throwing decisions all on his own too.

To be perfectly honest it doesn't matter who we have at QB until we get an O-Line. None of them will be able to get in sync unless we can give them a pocket to throw out of instead of them having to make plays on the run all game. FIUs undoing was not blitzing enough. If I was a D coordinator going up against us this year I would bring the blitz all game like the MUTS did.

But we have to start someone. Who would you put in?

It depends.

If the coaches let Woody improvise. I say throw in Woody. If they try to make him play the "system", put in Meager.

Woody is a do what it takes, just make it happen quarterback. Phillips is a system quarterback with Meager being a system quarterback with sparks of spontaneity.

---Meager...absolutely........but if the the O-line can't keep the defense away from him then consider using Wilson who is likely better running for his life than Meager is.

Put in Tune.

Remember Mitch Maher. Parker burned his redshirt because the starter (Wendall something or another) couldn't get it done.

I'd rather have Woody. I mean, I want the guy who gets the signals from the sideline and jogs back to the huddle than the guy who stands at the numbers with his arms out as if he doesn't understand what he's being told.

But I think we can all agree that Dickey != Parker.

Has there been any official word on who will start? I want to know, but I guess it is best to wait until game time so that ASU has to prepare for two different styles of QB.

I honestly wish that DM had been healthy and able to play more this year, because I feel like last year he really took his lumps as a RS FRESHMAN.

I think that it's difficult for Woody to feel totally comfortable back there, because really, he's basically a RS FRESHMAN in this offense this year.

Weak line play last year and this year has really hampered the development and confidence of all three QB's this year, IMO.

I say start DM this week.

To hell with it.... put Quinn at QB and run the option.

Tune needs to keep his redshirt. We don't really know how he compares w/ the rest of these guys, but one thing is clear - the OL is not protecting well. If he does turn out to be a great QB, no point in wasting a year of his eligibility getting sacked and desperately trying to go .500 in conference.

I agree. We do not need to waste a red shirt QB on this season. Let's wait until next year with a fresh start as well as 1 season under Tune's belt before we bring him in. Meager was already put through the ringer by starting before he was ready. Let's not repeat the mistakes of our past.

I thought about it all week. Let's start Wilson, though I could easily accept the argument that Meager earned it. I think we start Wilson and if he doesn't look razor sharp, we yank him and put in Meager. We are half way through the season. There is no reason as to why Wilson shouldn't come out gun's blazing, while at the same time not making stupid decisions (like throwing interceptions). I am not a big fan of having QB's look over their shoulder the whole game thinking one mistake will kill them. But we cannot afford to have 3 interceptions against ASU, or any other team for that matter. I VOTE WOODY WILSON for starter.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
