Re: FCS QB Watch

19 TDs???? Lehigh have any running backs on that team or do they all play wide receiver?

While I agree that our offensive scheme will probably not allow TR to overtake many of these guys, he is probably the #1 dual threat QB in the FCS. If he continues to put up big numbers on the ground, decent one's through the air and can keep that TD:TO ratio down, can he sneak up on this? Or is it a matter of picking a pure QB or standout RB, no gray-area (Rennie)?

Honestly I'm not super high on his chances and I've already expressed my opinion on which trophy should be high on his mind, just interested in everyone's thoughts on his production so far and the production of these other FCS QB's.

Right now Hoke from Weber St. has some really solid #'s and he is actually not even listed on the awards list.

Re: FCS QB Watch

Personally I think that Tirrell's numbers are more impressive than all the rest of those other than the Weber State qb.

[panther-state]

Re: FCS QB Watch

Not too many impressive TD:TO ratios other than Hoke. And obviosuly none of them are "dual threats". All of them are clearly pass first and pass only, for that matter

Re: FCS QB Watch

I'm still grinning from ear to ear that Rennie has a 0 in the INT column. What an improvement over last year. I think as long as UNI stays in the top 3 all year and Rennie stays on this path of production, then the committees and those voting will have no choice but to keep Rennie on the short list of finalists. Even still, I agree with others that he probably won't get the award. In the end, the one he receives will be far greater!

And 0 in lost fumbles (I think).

Re: FCS QB Watch

Yes I'm pretty sure he has no turnovers. We're at 3 (1 of which is total crap that it counts but oh well) and I don't remember Rennie coughing up any of those fumbles. 1 was the dropped punt last Saturday against Da Bears

Pressley at App St. (injured currently) is a dual threat. Trying hard to be the next amanti edwards but hard to top that guy.

Got it. Based on his stats he isn't doing a very good job but those are just stats. How long has he been injured/what injury?

1. Trickery "fumble" in Ames with only seconds on the clock.
2. Johnson's "fumble" vs. WIU - appeared to have forward progress stopped for several seconds with no stoppage of play. Suddenly the ball came out and declared to be a turnover.
3. Dropped punt last weekend.

A turnover that really shouldn't count (ISU), a turnover that might have been iffy (WIU), and a turnover that was from a backup WR on special teams. And that's all we have for the entire season at this point? Amazing.

That truly is mind blowing considering how we played the first half of the season last year, giving the other team the ball left and right.
