          Re: Spring Practice

          Thanks. Are any of you a bit nervous with the age of these young men competing for the starting job, or confident that they are fully capable of running the offense effectively? I know Brock Jensen was a SO last year and we all know how that turned out. The fact Lanpher got some snaps while Rennie was hurt can only help him and probably give him an edge over Kollmorgen.

            im not nervous. im excited to see an improvement in the downfield passing game. rennie made me more nervous than any QB in recent memory.

              Re: Spring Practice

              Both of these guys were playing in their respective state's large school leagues. Either one will be a dramatic step up from Rennie in arm strength/accuracy. They will not have the scrambling ability of Rennie.

              From Kollmorgen's bio -

              threw for 2,602 yards and 38 touchdowns in 2010, a school record for touchdown passes ... threw just three interceptions and completed 73.4 percent of his passes ... had a QB rating of 147.02 as a senior, completing 78 percent of Jenks' scoring drives in six plays or fewer
              12.7 TDs for every INT. That's pretty remarkable, even for HS.

              I suspect (hope, really) that the OC will expand the play book considerably. You will likely see us revert to a more pro-style offense. Hopefully the OL be more comfortable in a pro-style blocking setup.

              Biggest worry is replacing most of the defensive starters.

                  Re: Spring Practice

                  I just don't see Jared keeping Sawyer off the field. Not sure if that is this year or the following....Sawyer's HS video is pretty nutz....

                  Also has anyone else checked out the freak #2 we have coming in at RB?
                  http://rivals.yahoo.com/wyoming/foot...Williams-97080

                  The QB job shouldn't be that hard the next couple of years.....

                    Re: Spring Practice

                    Kollmorgen will have to be really good to earn the starting spot, because Lanpher has already had a chance to show what he can do, and he looked pretty darn promising doing so. Plus, he has a whole year of practice under his belt that Sawyer does not have.

                    Either way, we should be in really good shape for this year and the future. I really like both players. Lets just hope that whomever loses the battle to be the starter this year does not feel the need to transfer somewhere else so they can play right away...
