Countdown to 2016 FB Season!
Wick250:
I agree with Penguinpower and YSUGO. It is insane to try to run a spread offense when you lack a stable of reliable receivers. What we have is the ingredients for an effective power running game (veteran backs, big linemen, capable tight ends.) We could still throw about 20 times per game just as we did during the 1990s. But we would be doing that on our terms.
Apparently, we run that spread because Wolford wanted it and because "everybody is doing it." We should have a championship caliber defense. It would be a crime to squander it by forcing our offensive personnel to run a scheme for which they are unequipped.

FOOTBALLFEVER:
Definitely some class comments by our quarterbacks in the article. I think they are handling it quite well and are putting the team first and that's the way it should be, but it can't be easy for them. I think we will be able to complete the underneath routes to our TE's and hit Ruiz and Webb out of the backfield with whoever the QB might be. WE STILL NEED TO THROW DOWNFIELD OR WE WILL BE IN TROUBLE..Wells is still our best option for that. With close to 500 attempts compared to Ricky's 18 he has seen just about everything defense's will show him..The majority of Ricky's attempts have either been swing passes or dump passes in garbage time that concerns me..GO GUINS!!

The QB situation does not look good. Wells is gun shy & when the bullets start flying will throw into coverage, force throws & not run when the opportunity is there. He hurt us bad in the IS game with his dive on the 2 yard line & not running to sustain drives against NDSU when they left big lanes open because they knew he wouldn't run. Davis has had decision issues hopefully he has matured. And finally I can't believe that the coaches would bring in a transfer that is going to be 3rd string behind these guys. Nice scouting & waste of a scholarship if this is how it works out.
The YO Show:
Dwj, even if hosick is 3rd string, he did something for the team (caused competition and improvement in the other qbs)
