Nice, bout time. Maybe one reason donors are at scrimmage today.
SHUT UP! Don't jinx anything man.
But yeah I was wondering if there have been any scrimmage rumblings yet regarding injuries (or lack thereof)
Lol. Seriously though, this decision basically just kicks the Surly meltdown down the road until after the Bama game when Ewers doesn't look like a Heisman winner already
Prob not as a True Freshmen, I'd agree with you. But definitely could in a year or two.
(Although actually Bama's OL wasn't that great last year and they took a transfer LT from freaking Vandy to shore it up)
Interesting point. I do recall when Sark was hired, some people mentioned that he studied up on the 9.95ers, and we pretty often saw him icing FCB with short responses in pressers.
It's funny how UT fans forget that VY redshirted Year 1, then lost out to Chance Mock to start his RS FR year, then ended up with a 6:7 TD:INT ratio that year, was still an iffy passer in Year 3, before finally going Superman mode late that season and all of Year 4.
But oh no Ewers isn't ready in game 1 of year 1..
He'll probably get closer to 40% snaps vs ULM although should be a lot of garbage time. He may even get a bunch of snaps against Bama if it gets ugly. And if Card struggles against Bama (many QBs do), Sark likely makes the switch for UTSA.
Interesting. So yeah of course there have been a few, but not many at all and almost none of the guys who come to mind as recent elite QBs.
I actually think there is genuine risk to throwing QBs to the wolves too soon. It's such a mental position that killing their confidence can have lasting effects that far outweigh the game experience.
Yeah almost no QBs are ready day 1. I can't name one week 1 true freshman starting QB in the last 10 years, for any school. Lawrence was the closest because he split playing time early on but he didn't actually start until week 5.
But lol, Arch isn't reclassifying this late and he'd have to graduate HS so it's not like he can just wake up and do it.
This is kinda my fear in a way. If Ewers doesn't win the job early in the year, what does Arch think? One redshirt year is fine but I doubt he wants 2.
Although 3 years of Ewers would obviously be nice so maybe I shouldn't worry about that..
