FB Camp updates

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

As I have not knowingly met your wife's old college roommate, I am afraid I am still in the dark on this comment.

Re: FB Camp updates

Interesting and untimely article posted by the courier today if this rumor is true...

http://wcfcourier.com/sports/college...cc4c03286.html

Davis has extensive knowledge and experience in UNI's offensive system. Still, he didn't expect the job to be handed to him this season.

"Here at UNI, we try to get the best players, so I knew they were going to bring in some guys to push everybody," he said. "I knew I was going to be pushed for my job, and I've just got to work as hard as I can to get that.

Davis isn't getting caught up in any quarterback controversy, either. He's confident in his abilities and ready to contribute in whatever capacity he can.

The more I think about it, I don't know how valid this rumor can be. Unless he is willing to play DII or DIII ball someplace, I would think that Zach would be much better off staying. I think that he has already used a redshirt year, so transfering to any other DI school would only give him one season of eligibility.

Re: FB Camp updates

i find it odd that he would transfer just because he got beat out, considering that he one play away from starting and that has proven true over the past couple of years.

anyone who knows farleys methods probably guessed this.

Honestly, what are you talking about?

Re: FB Camp updates

nowhere in D-I, due to the NCAA transfer regs.
Not sure if a player has to sit out if transferring from D1 to D2 or not, though.

let me preface by saying that I know absolutely nothing solid about the situation, just the rumors on here.

But if the starting job really is going to Rennie, I don't think I can really blame ZD for thinking about transferring, given that they are both juniors.

Re: FB Camp updates

I think the rumors are bunk.

Even if you lost the starting job for the opener, and I really doubt it has been named yet, you're one play from getting it back.

And if Rennie laid an egg in the first game, Zach would get a chance under center asap.

If he choses to transfer, he'd have to really turn his life upside down with no assurance that things are going to turn out any better than they are right now.

I just ain't buying it.

Grace ate a little too many omelets at the dining center...

Re: FB Camp updates

Whether rumors are true or not, I do not blame the coaches for making the starting call this early. At some point in time someone has to start getting the majority of the reps, especially if its going to be Rennie. And, of course they are going to say its fair til the end the week before the first game. That might have been true had we opened up with South Dakota or Mankato State. What we heard was simply media day coach speak. Coach Farley will not condone a two QB system. I don't believe that Bill or Mario will either. The only time we saw something resembling it was back when this regime first came in and they flopped back and forth between Jurgens and Petrie. That was due to performance and injuries. Rarely did both see action in a game when their wasn't an injury.

I wouldn't blame Davis for transfering, you can talk all you want about being a play away or a bad game away. If he was a freshman, or sophmore, or even a Senior this would be different. He didn't sign a letter of intent to be a back up, once he knows he is going to be a back up, its over, hes gone.

9 Year is referencing that Farley is going to start Rennie because he is black. I will be the first to tell you there has been racial tensions on the team in the past. Also, I will be the first to tell you that skill players (DB's, WR's, RB's) are recruited if they are black, and not if they are white. If there is an exception there better be someone special. Not always the case, but common. Farley, and this staff, is not the only program that falls into this category. As a matter of fact they are the rule, not the exception to it.

However, I have never, never seen a player played or benched due to race. This staff is too competitive to do that. I have seen just as many black guys sit on the bench and not play as white guys. Coincedentally they both think they are benched because of race more times than not. Any rumors you find are simply due to people being upset they were benched and unfortunately unable to admit that someone was just better than them.

You can take my comments for what they are. Just my two cents I have developed over the years.

Re: FB Camp updates

If the line is "iffy" at best and Rennie is a running QB, you can bet the farm Zach would have been a starter sooner or later.

There were. But Grace was a senior returning starter last year.

Rennie is a jr and a JC transfer and I think if he failed to deliver, Zach would be given a chance.
