Re: Mark Farley

It should also be noted that having pocket passers/non-running QBs produced a grand total of ZERO national titles.

Maybe its just time to shake things up and try something else. I like our potential with Rennie. We have the potential to be very very explosive and impossible to prepare for.

You stay classy 83! Question- Do you overreact like that when someone disagrees with you in person, or just when you can be a messageboard tough guy?? Get the fvck over yourself...

Re: Mark Farley

I'm just trying to make a point. Maybe it is time we try to win in different ways. Meaning there are other ways.

Others have been successful running a spread with a running QB. App St won 3 national titles doing so.

Re: Mark Farley

We recruited players to the system, you can't change that system and bring in a JUCO QB that doesn't fit everything else you have recruited for ten years. Name Davis your starter and use Collins, Herring, Oordt, and crew to the best of their abilities.

HUH? This is the same offense that we have run for at least the past 7 years. Just because we have a more potent ground weapon this year than in the past doesn't mean we have somehow changed systems. Sanders even ran the same read option as we are running right now, but it wasn't nearly as explosive. And, how would eliminating one of the best offensive weapons we have HELP the team?

Re: Mark Farley

I would love to see Davis and Rennie in at the same time!! Rennie can run. Make him a running back.

So, bench Carlos then? Unless we get a very special waiver from the NCAA, someone has to come off the field if we are going to play Davis and Rennie at the same time. I have heard this so many times and the ignorance of it makes me angry. You either have to bench Carlos or completely change our offense 5 games into the season. Maybe we change to a split backfield? Or how about a wishbone with Strathman as the FB?

Re: Mark Farley

Anderson went for over a 100 yesterday, Strathman 69. How is Rennie not allowing us to use those guys as weapons? They would have less yards with even Eric Sanders as their QB. They benefit from having Rennie's running threat. Oordt is a tight end, he had 3 catches yesterday and a touchdown, all from Rennie. That is par for the course for a tight end.

I guess we could get the balls more to our receivers but we tried that yesterday with ZD and it didn't work so well. Herring is a play maker and we have been using him I think very well.

This, this, this...

psssst. Carlos isn't in on every single offensive play. Maybe I read their post wrong, but I got the impression they were talking about having both ZD and TR in the backfield for just a particular play, not every single play. Thus, you wouldn't be "benching" Carlos any more than he is already "benched" for plays where Strathman comes in, or when they load up on WRs and such.

Though I suppose rotating runningbacks could totally mess up their mindset, or the timing of the whole offense.

As usual, you're out of your element, Jay.

you're the one that implied that running a play with both QBs in meant "benching" Carlos.

Obviously you're not a golfer.

Re: Mark Farley

Its pretty obvious the common denomenator in all this is a very poor handling of this situation that has probably split the team as well. We are a program with no direction right now, it goes back to Farley...

I'm putting this post on a t-shirt because it is dead-on. The head coach oversees the entire operation of this team, and we do have a good team, but it can be better. The inconsistencies in the offense all seem to go back to the QB position. Neither QB can get great rhythm. I think Davis or Rennie could be our starter, but not both. Heck just put them both on the field at once then defenses wont know what to do but when we swap them out it's pretty obvious what Farley wants to do. Rennie=run, Davis=pass.

Re: Mark Farley

Yes, of course he would. He is the only person I have ever met in person (not questioning the loyalty of panthernation members) that loves UNI as much as I do and even I would take the million dollars + a year that they would pay me to do that in the biggest money making conference in america.

That being said, he is not even remotely close to being a candidate for that job. No way, no how, uh ah, forget it, nope.

Re: Mark Farley

He would be a perfect fit. He will never win a national championship at UNI but at Minnesota they would never expect him to.
