--- Quote from: dwj on August 18, 2016, 11:53:14 AM ---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.

^^^This.
In a sane world, the QB competition would be between Hosick and Davis, and maybe even also Mays.
Not willing to sacrifice a hit in exchange for a TD? C'mon man. It was time then for a QB with a full pair.

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.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A CRIME! Get a good FB transfer. 2 of them.
We have a stable of TE's and need to throw to them.
IAA Fan:
Nation ... that type of QB is not realistic. Look at ILS and UNI, both brought in FBS backups to cover for their damaged QBs. You remember when we saw the backup against ILS for one set of downs, became happy, then the started came in and ran 80+ yards for a TD against us. Had we played them one of the 4-prvious week, we get the backup and a "W".
FOOTBALLFEVER:
If Trent picked Charleston Southern over YSU he would be the starting quarterback to open up against the Bison in Fargo and be playing for one of the best teams in the big south. He just needs to keep his head up and keep working. I do feel Monty has a plan for him in a limited role this season. Trent was the only Juco quarterback offered by YSU. I also think we could have done a better job after looking at some of the quarterbacks that came off the board the first week of signing day..missed opportunities, but I still feel this is not a wasted scholarship

Agreed, this is not a wasted scholarship. A few years ago, we had the 1st and 2nd string qb got knocked out in the same game. The 3rd qb came in was a Freshman, without any playing experience .
If Wells started the season and got hurt, income Davis. Being a running qb, he could get knocked out. Hosick could come in with lots of playing experience.
