Re: SIU loses QB for season

Normally I agree with this logic, but IF the kid is a Freshman....maybe he didn't like Army....

I sit next to a guy in class who ate with a kid at lunch who's dad went to high school with a kid who's grandpa said that everyone uses that excuse when one of their good players gets hurt.

What excuse? Lots of backup QBs can play. Like SDSUs.

Yes, he is a freshman. I don't know why he transferred, but football doesn't come first at West Point. Trust me he can play, he took over in the 1st qtr against YSU with the score at 0-0.

Re: SIU loses QB for season

vs. Missouri State: Salukis can win this one with their backup, especially at home.

We are not as bad a team as you guys made us look. Your style of play is just too much for us. SIU, on the other hand... it took them a freak play last season to beat us with 0:00 left on the clock (this after we tied with 0:07 left). We match up a lot better with them than we do with you guys.

Last year we had a new coach and a new system and a new QB. You do sit in a good trap position, being after the SDSU game.

Yeah, and last year MSU was terrible. So you still should have beat them easily. This year, they have shown that they can win some games.

Must have had a let down after beating UNI.

Fair enough. I have no problem with you guys proving my prediction/evaluation wrong. I just don't see it happening. This year's SIU team is better than last years. But it still comes down to execution. If MSU executes well, and SIU happens to make some costly mistakes, the Bears could take it.

Well me neither! I was just saying

Re: SIU loses QB for season

Sorry for the double post, but thought you guys might interested in something I just put in another thread. It provides some detail on McIntosh's play Saturday:

06, the Tribune had a small article about Dieker's injury today. He was injured in the 1st Quarter, but SIU still managed to win with relative ease. The backup you mention threw an 80plus yard TD pass, which was like top 2 in school history. He also was either first or second in rushing last weekend with roughly 85 yards. Sounds like he played very well, although YSU would've had no way to prep for him.

Re: SIU loses QB for season

Well, I think they have the Syc's this week, so he can get some good work in.

It was 0-0 when PM came in. The 86 yd TD pass was a ten yard flat route that turned into a TD when WR Cheatum decleated a Penguin with a downfield block. YSU was loaded up to stop Karim and held him to 65 yards, but that left PM lots of running room, and he can run well.

So that play doesn't really say anything about the QB's ability. It was more about the running ability of the receiver, as well as the downfield blockers.

Of course, the QB has to be able to: a) find the open receiver in the flat
and b) get the ball to him
(both of which are things that aren't always a given), so I'm not doubting his talent. Just saying that that particular play doesn't really showcase it.

Yes, the 86 yarder was about the receiver and a highlight reel downfield block. What is impressive about PM is that he scrambles looking to throw first, most freshmen tuck and run. There isn't anything wrong with his arm, he just doesn't have Dieker's cannon.
