FB Camp updates

[Trapped in California]

First in depth update from WCF Courier's Jim Sullivan, who by the way does a great job providing updates on UNI sports.

The theme of the article is that Farley is pretty unsettled about the line play on both sides of the ball. This is probably the root of the "interesting season" comment on media day.

Other key note, Maurice Turner was not at media day, and is not practicing for an undisclosed reason.

Re: FB Camp updates

Just talked to a player on the team and he indicated that due to the inexperience of the offensive line and Rennie's ability to run he was named the starter today. Also indicated that Davis was transferring, wants to go somewhere he can play. Gonna be a long, long year.

Re: FB Camp updates

I hope the part about Davis isn't true. I have no problem with Rennie starting, but we are gonna need both of them as the season goes on.

Re: FB Camp updates

Would the coaching staff really be making the starting QB decision this early? I hope that is not the case. If the line is really that shot, then maybe the PantherCat (redundant redundant) formation really does make sense. I hope none of this is true.

Re: FB Camp updates

It's true. I've done a little research and verified it with some other players. Really too bad.

I know at media day (via OPR) that Coach Farley indicated they would not determine starter until week of first game. Of course, practice/performance/etc developments could have changed that timeline.

Re: FB Camp updates

If Davis is in fact leaving, then who is the backup to Rennie? Where does Davis go to get playing time - DII? OVC, PFL, NDSU?

It has to be a frustrating situation for him, if true. But honestly I hope that he is staying put for a variety of reasons, most of all being able to obtain for a mostly paid for education. That is the most important part of the equation.

Re: FB Camp updates

If Davis does transfer, Walter will be very capable at backup.

Re: FB Camp updates

Was this really Farley's decision or is he relaying the OCs decision? He has said time and time again that Bill and Mario are in charge of the offense.

Trapped - Caleb Walter was the third stringer last I knew. Similar to Zach in stature and on field play.

Re: FB Camp updates

Rennie could be really special. Although he seems short. How tall is he?

Also by bringing him in Zach had to know he just wasn't cutting it with the coaches???

Zach has always been a question mark with me. Hope he stays though.

found my own answer he is 6'0 200 pounds. At least we know we will never have to debate if he will go the NFL as a QB or not. Too short.

this makes me like Rennie:

"Last season, Davis saw action in seven games and led a fourth-quarter comeback that fell short at Illinois State with a pair of touchdown passes in the final 5 minutes, 12 seconds. For his career, he has completed 61 of 107 passes (57 percent) for 734 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions.

Rennie was a two-time All-American at Ellsworth. The 6-0, 200-pound junior from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., passed for 2,863 yards and 23 TDs while running for 1,025 yards and 10 scores last season. He set a single-game record for total offense with 557 yards and broke the single-season total offense mark with 3,888 yards. In his two years at ECC, he accounted for more than 7,300 yards of total offense and 73 TDs while leading the nation twice in total offense."

Re: FB Camp updates

i will simply say that i have consistently heard from multiple players over the years that Farley has a certain characteristic in common with my wife's old college roommates
