Rich Rod’s offenses only work with a dynamic running QB

I think it’s not 1 thing. I think it’s the combination of turf, strength and conditioning, UA, scheme, altitude, Whit apparently sold something to the devil, and perhaps fluoride in the water ;). These fellas just aren’t living right off the field. I mean, MB with the scooter accident last year that kept him out? Brandon Rose with a lacerated…[Read more]

They have decent recruiting talent yet are 4-7 like we are. I know 2 of my cousins went there 10+ years ago and their mascot is a Knight. Sometimes, a launch out of Cape Canaveral takes place during a game and the stadium is situated so you can see it pretty well, so that’s cool.

Question is why is his processing turtle slow right now?

This wasn’t the case earlier in the season. From Utah St to now there’s been regression. Why?

Whitt is likely part of the problem. His QB thou shalt nots have paralyzed QBs in the past.

None of the qbs changed positions nor put on a lot of weight (like to be a LB or TE). But this could be true of some of the other position players. That comes back to strength and conditioning (and flexibility). Cue TB12 Tom Brady …

He’s not. Backup at Vandy

so the answer is to ask nicely if the other team will pretty please promise not to pressure him?

There was no pressure on the first pick against Oklahoma State. Instead he chose to throw in to double coverage on the wheel route without ever looking to the other side where Money had broken ankles and was running free for an easy…[Read more]

Agree. He’s raised his stock and might actually be draftable or UDFA.

I agree with you. His decision making is turtle slow right now but he showed flashes of a high ceiling. Rose should have been QB2 to let Wilson develop more. Hopefully he stays and grows in the offseason

A team starting its 5th string QB due to injury is rare. A team doing it for the second year in a row never happens.

It’s unprecedented I’ve never seen it ever

might be the least popular opinion on this site, but i think wilson has alot of potential and has shown them. all his mistakes are all mistakes a true freshman qb would have had. I was at the colorado/utah game and noticed, when wilson isn’t being rushed, he can make really good plays, its only when hes being pressured & running is when his throws…[Read more]

UCF’s Freshman QB is good. Well balanced offense. Utah’s defense has softened up since the BYU game giving up 80 points in the last two games. I expect the same on Friday when UCF gets an early lead. Weather should be nice and warm for a boat race :). Rewatched the ISU game for pure viewing punishment. Defense looks completely checked out. ISU QB…[Read more]

Scalley could go anywhere from 0-12 to 12-0 and it wouldn’t surprise me. Lake is just one possible outcome. I’m sure if I, or someone else, wanted to research it we’d find more success stories than failures but it would be close to fitty-fitty.

There’s no guarantees in life and Scalley’s HC performance is yet to be written. I do think though…[Read more]

I pick Nick Saban. Before you laugh, its just as realistic an option as anyone else not named Morgan Scalley.

google Jimmy Lake and tell me the comparison isn’t apt other than Scalley hasn’t gotten the HC slot yet.

UCF is going to run all day and if they can get Scalley to abandon the middle like he’s been doing lately, they’ll break a couple of big runs. It could get 2021 Utah v Stanford bad where the Utes piled up 400 yards on the ground.

Sal: to me the calculus is different. The Tennessee job, or the SC job he was offered after 2008, would have required moving his family and going to a place where the expectations are always going to be oversized. Not many coaches get the choice of staying home which was always Utah’s best selling point for Whitt.

Retiring early, on the other…[Read more]
