Towles to Boston College.

An offense like that is probably where Towles would have the best chance to succeed. Tebow wasn't known as a great passer. But he could get things done with his legs and throw just accurately enough to keep the defense honest. IMO, Shannon Dawson didn't do us (or Towles) any favors by taking away one of the best elements of his game...his ability to pick up yards with his legs. At least Neal Brown recognized this as one of Towles strengths and tweaked his approach to take advantage of that. I think Towles could be a pretty good QB in a spread option offense.
They have a terrible offense. He is certainly not going to completely turn that around. I doubt he does any better stats wise there than he did here.
This is rich.

In addition to helping Tim Tebow throughout his collegiate career, Addazio picked up Tyler Murphy from UF for his fifth year and Tyler, whom we enjoyed watching play, is now with the Steelers.
Addazio was the o-line coach at UF for Tebow's first 3 years. Dan Mullen was the OC/QB coach.
Fantastic city and campus and I doubt scholarship athletes shovel much snow. Awesome place to go to college.
Dawson took away a lot of things from our offense. If Towles had more freedom to run, he may have been much more effective and productive overall. I wish him luck at BC and will follow his progress.
The other Dawson gripe I have was his doing away with the wildcat formation. I think there were a few instances this year when things weren't going well offensively that the wildcat could have provided a huge spark.

Hell yeah man, the ability to tackle defenders after throwing a terrible INT is one of the most important facets I look for in evaluating a QB at UK or anywhere. He did have a lot of practice throwing INTs at UK so it was great to see him excel at something with an A+ score.
I wish Patrick well, but I just don't see how he will be successful up there. They had a total garbage offense. Really bad. Like so bad, I don't see how he could rescue it on his own. He won't have good protection, he won't have talented receivers. Honestly, after watching a team like Louisiana Tech I think he would have been better served going someplace like that. It worked for Jeff Driskel.
Well, yes, I was expecting that, no problem.
Towles is not just a QB, he is a football player, he would probably be a very good LB or TE. He is big, fast, had the best shuttle time at the Elite 22, threw 43 TDs to ONE interception his senior year in high school, a very tough FOOTBALL player. I think most will agree that he wasn't used in the best way by UK last year.
I hope he has a great season next year, and think it is entirely possible. And if he doesn't he should still get a shot at the pros based on his potential alone.
His feet are way too choppy to ever be a successful QB at the college level, 4 years and he's still chopping his feet as if his life depended on how fast he can chop his feet. I wish him the best but he is just simply a very poor passer. Has a big arm with zero accuracy. Just an atrocious QB to be honest i know I'll get blasted for saying that but I don't really understand the point in sugarcoating things. If he's their best option next season. Then good luck BC! You'll need it! I do hope he has a good season though he is a good kid and deserves it in a sense but I seriously just can't see it happening.
I wonder that too. Given how poor their O was, I'd expect he'll get it & we'll see.
As a BC grad and KY native, I'm excited to see PT going to BC. I hope he performs very well.
GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!
GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!
Of course he is not going to be a superstar or anything...but I think he has tools to do well in that type of offense, where he will presumably be under less pressure.
He is going to be in somebody's NFL camp and get a serious look if BC can get him to settle down and deliver the ball accurately. Probably not drafted. If that does not work out he will probably be in the Bevin administration and start his rise toward Congress or something.
