That's what Bo said also. Hunter seems to remain unconcerned, and certainly Bo thinks it's nothing. Hope we get Wells back at least for NDSU. We'll need all our weapons for the buffalos.

I wish Wells nothing but the best, but I don't think that we can count on his return any time soon. Anything we can receive from him going forward will be a bonus. So our quarterback of 2018 is now the qb of 2017. Can Mays pass effectively, including the long ball? That has been a hot topic of debate. We are about to find out.

Wick you bring up a good point. I think Mays has done a great job of filling in and a nice job on the short and intermediate throws. However, i dont think SDS was fully ready for him. The rest of the Conference will play him accordingly untill he can show he can hit the deep balls with consistency and accuracy. Needless to say #5 and #4 our deep play threats and we have the line that will give him the time. A coach once told me if you dont have a quarterback that can throw deep you dont have a quarterback at all. Between Davis and Mays..I think Ricky throws it better

Both of you (wick & fever) are right to the critical point. Mays had done an admirable job filling in, and he scrambled for a couple of really important 1st downs against SDSU. But the only time he went even midrange down field, he had a wide open guy in the end zone and came up a good 8 yards short for an INT. Basically he is good for about 8-10 yards max, and that will really allow a defense to come up and pressure the run. SDSU was prepared for Hunter not Nate, USD will be ready. That being said, Saturday the OL had a great game against what looked like a pretty good D coming in, and if you can get 4-5 yds. on 1st down, you can dunk and dink and scramble your way to a bunch of 1st downs and win football games. I think Saturday comes down to our D and the USD QB. If we can keep him in check, we should win.
Does anybody disagree that even with Rivers & Moss gone, the defense looks better this year than last? Gibson has been a HUGE addition!
IAA Fan:
Agree on defense...much more balanced this year. Weaknesses are not as obvious for opposing DC's to find. I do not see Davis as a better passer than Mays; but that may not be the case on the long ball. I do see Davis as a better runner. Both are natural drop-back guys. Mays has better ball placement, as his 74% completion percentage will attest, that is why he will start.
PS: I suspect that Mays has very good deep ball ability; at least he certainly does in camp. How much do you think the run game played into last week? Maybe Monty did not want Mays to throw because it was not needed.
