If Stetson Bennett comes back for ONE MO YEAR, we can probably have him.
Yes. That's the good news.
How much had Levis actually played other than being a Wildcat QB at PSU?
Threw 47 passes in 2019, 55 in 2020, started 1 game. Showed enough on film for Coen to tell Stoops "I can build an offense around this"
Speaking of Wade…anyone heard how the staff feels about his potential as a future starter?
I still don’t think he’s a great OC…..10/14 in total offense in the SEC with a great QB, RB, and WRs. While our line is bad, it shouldn’t be the only excuse.
If it is, I'd be pretty damn happy. He's a very solid QB, has a good arm and seems to play under control. He isn't particularly mobile or elusive though, so OL play will have to improve. But I have no doubt the guy could come in and run this offense and likely run it very well.
3 of the 4 games Rodriguez was out was against terrible teams. That’s not an excuse.
Definitely not P5, but the other three were not all awful teams. We lost three starters on the OL, had no OL rotation last year, have a new blocking scheme, have big ol boys who were brought in as brawlers trying to switch to outside zone, and a brand new OC who worked as a position coach in the NFL.
I don’t think that potential transfers will have a problem seeing a line that should be improved, our center will be one of the best, IMO. The WR and TE corps will be outstanding and a pro style offense will help them prepare for the NFL. I am not sure they will see premiere RB talent on paper, but I think those other pieces will be most important.
Scang says he passing has improved greatly and Scang is excited about the kid. They had a package for him in the USC game, but the low level of snaps and the way the game went did not permit.
NIU is 2-6 and Miami OH is 3-5……both in bottom tier of MAC. I’d say they’re terrible and we still struggled against them.
Supposedly…….we had a package prepared for him against South Carolina that we had worked on all week but when we botched the first play of the game we decided to go into a cocoon and not try to score the remainder of the game . Because everyone knows being down 7-0 means you must change your entire game plan .
Very high on him. Scang has fixed his faulty throwing mechanic in record time and moved him up to taking reps with the 1s and 2s this week. Believes he has every possibility of competing with anyone from the portal.
Unless you are running the wishbone or the veer, arm talent is a prerequisite for a successful quarterback. But all other things being equal, an athletic quarterback who can flee the backfield and run past the second level is always better than an immobile quarterback because defenses have to account for a mobile quarterback. That puts stress on the interior linebackers and safeties. One more thing for a DC to worry about, and one less thing to exploit your offensive line. Not always an absolute necessity, but advantage offense.
Cox, Burton, Flax and maybe Horsey back. I think the “transition” could be to the better.
From most of what I’ve read n what little I’ve seen there’s no problem with his arm
