Someone in this thread actually said coaches put too much weight on performance at practice. Before anyone has played in a game. We’re in mid season form Lads, gameday threads are going to be off the charts with that level of input!! Let’s Gooooo!!!!!

The only thing I'm certain of is that we'll see both qbs at some point this season. Both will have an opportunity to stake their claim on it in game. And it'll be the best reality tv we've ever seen...

Drills in practice, compared to major scrimmages and mentioned some people game better than practice drills 🙄

The person who said Kenny is most likely starting mentioned CJ was awful in basically breakdown simulation type drills, while Kenny wasn’t.

I agree, a friend of mine who is a Miami fan told me earlier this year that the U's rush defense is not very good to add to that this is a brilliant idea by the coaching staff to confuse Miami's defensive plan by not naming the starting QB yet.

Not doubting your friend said that, but our defense should be improved this year. We upgraded our MLB, and got a new DC. Having an improved secondary will help our rush D out too I think.

You guys have one of the best running games in the country so it’ll be a tough test, but I wouldn’t say Miami’s run D isn’t very good

I mean, neither of them has ever experienced anything like what they're going to walk into here - the noise, the heat, the speed of it all - and you can't really simulate that in the Blue and Gold game or whatever sterile camp scrimmage you might hold. But if you try to re-create the chaos of live action when things go sideways, and one guy freezes up and the other doesn't, you might weigh that more than who throws a prettier ball if you're trying to decide who's going to start at night game at Miami in two weeks.

Only if we actually have a well-established QB1 and everyone internally knows it and that person is getting all the reps. Great teams don't screw around trying to fake out their opponents with cloak-and-dagger personnel shit, they just put their best guys on the field and impose their will.

that is exactly what Freeman did in that one magnificent special team play against Georgia.

Didn't the Patriots consistently manipulate injury reports during their dynasty run for this very reason?

With the spring game I don't think you can read too much into a good QB performance but a crappy one you probably can. Apart from this example from 10 years ago, can you think of any examples of QBs being bad in the BG game and then had a good season.
Kenny looks to me like he is going to throw at ankles a good bit. Was that him in the latest practice footage that threw one at Aneyas's knees that he then dropped?

To be fair, our QB play has been pretty up and down for the last 10-15 years so we don't have a ton of great examples of guys that played lights out in the fall that stunk it up in the spring game. Plus, some of the ones that played well at times like Leonard ended up missing the spring anyway.

Sneaking a guy into the punt formation and staging weeks of subterfuge over who will be your starting quarterback are not really the same thing.

Agreed-I believe a QB will be named and the sh!t will hit the fan.

Like I’ve said before whoever is named QB 1 both guys are gonna play this year and maybe they both deserve to. We might need to see both in an actual game to decide whose the best

Meltdowns would occur. Correction, meltdowns will continue to occur.
