brink865 said:Why take the play action fake out of play? That is like rolling a QB to one side of the field, why take the full field out of play? Your first option better be open quickly.2 tight ends. Bishop in the cat. Put our toughest defensive lineman - whomever that is - at fullback. Ball control. Beat your man. Methodical. Then rely on the remnants of Banks/Josh’s “bend don’t break” and “berzerk-upon-snap” defense to get the ball back. Stranger things have worked before. Remember the Chavis Prowler? I personally loved it.

Austin_Price said:I believe it’s because there is really no back up plan at qb. A kid that is very talented but severely under weight with no experience and another kid who is very talented as well but missed most of his senior season because on injury and he won’t be 18 until June. Doesn’t encourage confidence. The schedule is brutal this coming season. IMO.Threads like these amuse me… I’m pretty sure some of you called for the wing t last year because they didn’t get the receivers out of the portal you all wanted

CN31 said:I’m a fan of GMAC. He’ll be All-SEC. Need depth though.Yeah bc we the 2 five star Qb talents in your roster can’t throw a football right? I don’t think this place has any common sense any more. How did college football ever survive without QBs before portal? Leavitt was a RS freshman when he blew up. You didn’t know who he was. Demond Williams as a freshman. Marcel Reed. Dante Moore had little experience. Sayin at Ohio st. Mendoza last yr at Cal. all these QBs were unknowns until they weren’t. You have to play them to figure that out
