Starting Quarterback Poll
ysufan0505:
Well, It's official. Dante Nania named the starter and Hunter Wells the backup...... Hope this works out!
MrGuin:
Just as I predicted... I think it'll be fine. Nania is seviceable and Hunter best be ready because he will definitely see action.

Paladin I cant believe we are less than 2 weeks away from the season opener and you are already writing the script for the season and how mediocre it will be! What we have to remember is that these are young men and winning can become very contagious! I have been to several practices and to both scrimmages and I see a lot of talented football players working their butts off! I believe the biggest factor for this teams future is that they need to start the season strong and continue to get better every week leading up to the big MVFC games which will determine their post season play!
You act like you were the only person who knew they would change there offense this year, well the last time I checked that is a sign of a good coaching staff; being able to adapt your coaching philosophies to what best fits your players on your team! Nania is a very athletic kid and I believe the YSU staff has done a good job making the offense fit his skill type, while you make the out to be a negative!
Both Wolf and Monty interviews clearly states the Wells has done some things to catch the attention of the coaches and players! Coach Monty said that Wells is further along than any freshman QB he has ever had. I am pretty sure he had 2 QBs drafted into the League when he was head coach at Miami (Ohio), Ben Roethlisberger is pretty good last time I checked! So when the coaches say that Wells has earned the #2 spot how bout we trust their decision and quit being so negative and critical! Could they be trying to light a fire under Davis's butt, absolutely but from what I have seen is that Wells has clearly outplayed Davis in the few times I was able to watch live practices!
In closing lets just remember that we are undefeated right now as is every other team in the country and these young men can still make this season be the season we remember for a long time! The players and staff have been putting in some long hard hours preparing to have a great season; and I wish them all the best of luck on the upcoming season. I am now finalizing my travel plans to Champaign as this will be the last Big 10 game YSU will participate in! Once again GOOD LUCK and GO GUINS!!

PENGUIN POWER
"After reading Scale o's article I say to play Hunter Wells. You have a long time to develop him and he probably won't be running as much. More long term upside."
Where was this article at couldn't seem to find it anywhere?
