Seven QBs on Roster

[run&blade]

Please play a different one. Seriously if there is nothing better on the roster I want to know so I can end my season tickets.

It hurts to watch at this point.

Shouldnt have ran Lanpher out of town. He could throw the ball.

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

South Dakota woyld have been a good game to do it. There were guys wide open every play on fly routes.

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

I really like Sawyer and Brion but the reason they are struggling is because our offensive line is close to terrible. At the end of the game, SDSU was only rushing 3 defensive lineman and Brion was still getting flushed out of the pocket. How does that happen? It happens because of a bad line. We couldn't run anything up the middle either because DJ and Miller were hit three yards in the backfield. They didn't have a chance. You can have all of the talent in the world at rb, qb, wr but if you don't have a good line, they are wasted talent. Here is Kollmorgen's stats last year. Pretty solid if you ask me. 14 tds to 5 ints.


PASSING GP Effic Cmp-Att-Int Pct Yards TD Long Avg/G
Kollmorgen 9 139.3 156-248-5 62.9 1824 14 52 202.7

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

The problem isn't QB play - when you have outstanding talent at RB like Johnson and Miller and there's nowhere for them to run, it's obviously the line. I am astounded that we have guys with that much experience (3 seniors, 2 sophomores), and they still haven't figured it out.

How'd we even stay in the game at iowa? Iowa isn't really that good but still far better than us.

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

It's called predictability. We always seem to start off better than we finish. Once teams have film on us and can prepare they have us licked. It is also the reason that we seem to rarely win second halves. Good coaches make good adjustments. Unless you believe that coaches have little / nothing to do with success or failure, of course.

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

My vote is for Justin Black. He's a pro style QB with several offers out of HS including a couple MAC schools and has been in the program for 3 years.

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

I agree, why not Justin Black?? Farley played Kollmorgen as an underclassman, so why not ride out the rest of the season with Black?? Maybe a fresh face is what's needed.

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

Probably not what fans want to hear, mysefl included, but Farley said today at the press luncheon that they will still use both Carnes and Kollmorgen.

I agree we are very predictable on the offensive side of the ball and IMO easy to scout. How many times do we run up the middle on 1st and 2nd down? How many years do we have to go without using our TE's? With the size and athletic ability of our TE's we can only throw to them 1 to 2 times as game? Our QB(s) are struggling passing the ball and one way to build confidence is to involve your TE's with short passes. If our OC(s) are not going to use our TE then bring in another lineman.

Re: Seven QBs on Roster

Uni is a one loss team right now with any uni qb from the last 25 years.

Hawaii should have been a win. Miss a wide open guy behind the defense. And that muffed snap for a td was catchable.


South dakota should have been 35 -7 at half.


Missed plent of open guys saturday. Dj might have room to run if there was any reason to worry about the pass.

I'm not sure where you are getting the idea that we aren't scoring in the second half. I think the o coordinator coach should be fired but we will see what happens.

You should really focus your attention on the line next game. They rush the 4 d linemen and we can't hold that for the amount of time our qbs finish their 3 or 5 step drops.

Couldn't agree more. It was very noticeable that the offense gameplan changed when Carnes came in at the end. Obviously it changed a little bit because of the situation but they started running some drags with Charles Brown and some short out routes that are easy to hit. Confidence builder patterns for a qb and with the speed we have at wr, hard to defend for man and zone defenses. I think this has nothing to do with who is at qb and more to do with our offensive coordinator and the o line.
