Curious if KSR reports are accurate from Ryan are reason for concern. Having 2 QB’s playing regular minutes usually means not having a solid option.

I hope you are correct but until we see Vandagriff on the field we won't have a definite answer. Bringing in Wimstatt,with Allen and Boley already here, is a departure from business as usual for Stoops. You always have good and reasonable takes on UK football so I ask do you think or have you heard if the staff believes Vandagriff is an upgrade from Leary?Again......This has been addressed in other threads. Every piece of information that has come out of the program has indicated that Vandagriff has been good and is THE guy. But Wimsatt is such a weapon as a runner (but not a thrower) that they are including him in a Wildcat package.
MaybStoops & UK football can't win. As usual.
Play 1 qb all the time every snap and he's failing to develop a backup and leaves us thin at the most important position
Give lots of snaps to the backup and he's ruining the season with a dual qb system
Maybe true, with Stoops but Hamdan isn't a yes guy, from all indications, and want put all his eggs in one basket. Some say Stoops hired Hamdan knowing he wouldn't have to baby sit. I think everyone is going to love Hamdan's offense, he's not bashful. Think there'll be times we say wow and time we say, why did he do that. I will be greatly surprised if he's not much better utilizing the talent available than past OC's. Also think by the 2nd half of the season our offense will be much more efficient if we don't have major injuries on offense. See everyone Saturday: GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!Stoops & UK football can't win. As usual.

If we have to revert to a Terry Wilson-esqu offensive approach and Brock can't move the offense with this arms and legs....UK is screwed,
I hate to sound like I’m badmouthing him because he seemed like a good guy, but let’s be honest here. We had literally an all-time defense and running back for our program that year and won several games in spite of Terry Wilson being our QB rather than because of him. For that matter, at least 2 of the losses might could have turned out differently with any semblance of a passing game. Expecting to keep winning at that rate with that level of QB play is only going to lead to disappointment. We better hope Brock is quite a bit better.Like 10-3 citrus bowl champ screwed?
You better put some respect of Terry Wilson’s name.
I don’t exactly how or why some of our fans became so entitled, or blind. Maybe it’s young guys who grew up in the Stoops era, or just hopped on the wagon.
Point is Terry Wilson is a legend. He did things our fans only dreamt about. He helped make our program prominent and respectful. He had balls. He won LOTS of games here.
Brock Vandergriff has never played QB in college. We should hope and pray he’s as good as TD Terry.
Brock is the man.In response to you doc and also K_time.
When I reference "THE GUY".....that simply means QB1 without question. I don't mean it to say that he's "THE GUY" we've been waiting for since Couch.
As far as what I have heard/read. (though keep in mind that I haven't been in deep with the program for a decade.....but still have a few flies on walls....😉
-Brock has all the measurables and intangibles that you would want: size, arm strength, mobility, leadership, etc.
-Brock is clearly QB1.
-I know the staff has confidence in Brock, but I haven't heard anyone go crazy with the descriptions of how he's doing. They've been pretty tight lipped. So, he could be QB1 by a mile or have a short leash.....we'll just have to see.
-Then finally Wimsatt is such a threat of a runner that they are including some Wildcat packages. This is telling because Brock is fairly mobile himself. So, either Wimsatt is "that" good of a runner that the staff must feel they have to get him out there........and/or that our rushing attack might need a little extra kick. As K_Time said, Wimsatt just isn't a good passer....so, I doubt this is an indication that Brock is struggling to throw.
Brock is the man.
Wimsatt is in the neighborhood of Lynn Bowden running the ball. I said neighborhood. There is a place for that player.
Thanks for the reply, what you point out makes sense(especially as to the RB situation) We have been blessed and probably a bit spoiled at RB over the past several years, we probably don't have the horse back there that we are accustomed to seeing.In response to you doc and also K_time.

I actually hope your take is dead on and we are able to completely catch SC off guard and beat the crap out of themUntil they are proven bad or incorrect, I will trust in what the coaches come up with for the game. If that is dual QB playing, if that is 3 TE sets, if that is 5 wides out, whatever. Until it fails lets just go with it.
I think we do not see much of our normal offense, going to wait for S Carolina game to show what we will really do on offense. My guess is Stoops and Co will play it safe and depend on the defense to carry us game 1.
I hope my take it totally off and we see what we are going to be like from Play 1 of Game 1 and we do not let off the gas all year.

I think the defense will be a notch or two above the past couple of years(not saying it was awful) but I expect this group to be THAT good. I hope the offense will be good enough to take advantage of what the defense is able to do, maybe even take some pressure off the defense. We have a tough schedule for sure but I expect this to be a good season for the Cats. 8-4 would be a successful season in my book and I believe we can do that.
Sure....here are Terry Wilson stats...and they never have been nothing to write home about.I couldn’t read past your second sentence. You might want to log off and actually look at TD Terry’s stats and records. You are absolutely clueless.
Not inside the gate. Same school bus route. 🚍That neighborhood is exclusive. I hear Gavin is a quality human, but to say he lives in Mr. Bowden’s neighborhood is a zoning violation.
