How many qbs do we play?

BillySee58 · August 16, 2013

How many qbs do we play in the first half against Idaho? I think DT starts but I really doubt we play only one qb. Probably 2, maybe 3. A lot to be determined there.

NorthTexan95 · August 16, 2013

Hard to see more than two during a game unless there's an injury or both quarterbacks are failing.

Mean Green 93-98 · August 16, 2013

Hopefully one starter all season long, with some mop-up time for #2.

This. And I believe this is how it will be. And I would have to think that Dajon Williams will be one of the two, if Coach Mac has already said they aren't going to redshirt him.

I think that I see a pattern here. Even if you know...keep them guessing.

The coaches are doing that with every position. Quarterbacks? All four have been mentioned. (Note: Gill is apparently no longer on the team and Williams now has #6). They could have decided to go with one or they may want to see how each handles game conditions. Running backs? Byrd has experience but Pegram is looking good and Jimmerson will play. Coach Grant did name the top two or three receivers but was noncommittal on several hot prospects. Only Lemon and Y'Barbo were mentioned as locks on an established (except for center) offensive line. No one has even asked about the tight ends. It wouldn't matter if they had. On the defensive side even Whitfield is in jeopardy. Orr and Trice are leaders but no mention of the progress of any others.

Methinks that it's fairly well known who will play early but I don't doubt that more will see action this year because our depth appears to be much better.

I'm beginning to not want to know. It would be like knowing what's in each Christmas package and spoiling the opening. I like the element of surprise. I may be disappointed that a personal favorite doesn't start or get significant minutes but I'll get over it. It's wide open! Oh, wait a minute, hasn't that been used?

This posts makes me want to abandon this board and Vito's blog until game day just so that I have no clue who's going to play on game day. But then again I was a kid who opened my presents before Christmas and re-wrapped them so my parents didn't find out.

You'll have a heart attack when McNulty walks out on the field as the starting QB opening day.

He will probally just start against Tulsa.

We play as many as it takes to find a leadet and one that will get us W's. I don't care how many we have to play or who that QB might be, I just want to pile up some MF'ing wins.

I just hope that, if your scenario is correct, we don't blow a win against Idaho/Ohio/BallSt because of tinkering.

Tinkering is what fall camp is for. Early fall camp.

GreenMachine · August 16, 2013

Much analysis and business modeling went into my post. Rest assured, we won't blow a game to the teams mentioned.

No doubt. But if coach Mac is not blowing smoke (which he very well might be), then we're in the middle of fall camp and have no clear front-runner... I'm certainly nervous.

And here's the inevitable "I don't care as long as we win" post.

Why should I care? I want to win, plain and simple.

meangreener · August 16, 2013

Don't care.

Just win. Put all three of them on the field at the same time. I couldn't care less.

Just win.

FWIW , New Cal head coach Sonny Dykes named a true freshman his starting QB

If Berglund sucks, let Dajon start. We know already Derek sucks.

Well yeah, everyone wants us to win. We just don't know what it's going to take to win and that's one of the major reasons of this board, especially before the season. Giving our opinions as to what we need to do this year and how we're going to win ball games.

Sorry, don't take it personally. I just don't understand why people post "I don't care what we do as long as we win" replies. Stupid pet peeve of mine.

Of course. Everyone on this board is, save for the troll fans. That goes without saying IMO.

I've heard that Brock is sitting at 4th string QB right now.... And it's from a pretty good source

If he doesn't make something big happen at the next scrimmage then he's just about sealed his fate and has no one to blame for that but himself.

I gotcha.

Yet we spend countless threads and hours debating QB scenarios and bashing uniforms, which will have absolutely no weight in the coaches' decision-making.

One more pointless than the other? Maybe. All opinion? Definitely.
