Dracula Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 I think Schultz is gonna start Colbert come hell or high water. ...Colbert looked like crap Saturday and got dressed down pretty good on one occasion but Schultz has stated before that he would start game one. He's too quick to give up on a play and tuck and run in my opinion... ....QBs were switching between the ones and twos so it varied. Saw the new freshman QB Johnson. He looks taller than 6'3" but he got no action and will probably redshirt if possible. There was also a Jack Dallas sighting but he only ran a couple red zone series and was the backup holder on PAT.... ....Darrel Colbert, Jr., completed 4-of-7 passes for 95 yards, and carried the ball eight times for 88 yards.... .... Transfer Jordan Hoy was 3-of-6 for 67 yards, and had five carries for 35 yards... Schultz wants a dual threat QB. This leaves Morse sitting on the bench. Sorry, but it is what it is. That leaves 4 QB's that can be described as dual threats; Colbert, Hoy, Dallas, and Johnson. Johnson should be red shirted this season. The final three are 1) Colbert, 2) Hoy, 3) Dallas. In order to keep play options open, Dallas will get in the game as the holder for FG's and PAT's. I just can't see how Schultz can not play both Colbert and Hoy. Last year, I also had the same opinion that Colbert would tuck and run too quickly but last year's team was a whole different animal. I really can't hold last year against him. I hope that this year's offence is different and maybe we see a better performance from Colbert. That brings us to Hoy. I watched this kid's Hudl films from 2016 and I think he is what the doctor ordered. He looks like he has an accurate arm, he doesn't give up on a pass play and tuck and run, and he is elusive and freakish fast. I just don't see how Schultz can keep him off the field. I guess we will not know until game #3 but Colbert better bring the goods or Hoy will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't changing and neither is the offense from watching spring and fall practice. Colbert should be third string due to Morse' A+ arm. I also agree that Hoy is elusive and freakishly fast...hands down a better "dual threat" QB than Colbert...better arm, elusiveness, decision making, and speed. We may never get to know what Morse could actually do unless you watched the games he was thrown into as a true freshman. That kid has been really done wrong. He bailed them out big time in a pinch and played pretty dang good with a garbage O-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will not know until game #3 but Colbert better bring the goods or Hoy will. Perhaps Schulz isn't aware of this. There are different positions on a football field for reasons. Big giant strong dudes play offensive line or defensive line. Faster dudes play things like defensive back and running back. Guys who can THROW play QB. You see, that is the primary purpose/differentiator of the QB position. If you can't throw or are below average throwing then YOU DON'T PLAY QB!!! Yes, it's nice to see a QB make a great run every now and then but that won't consistently win football games...(well, unless you go with the triple option like OU back in the day).

Hell, i wish he'd transfer to someplace with a chance to pass, instead of this dual threat, running crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracula Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 There are exceptions to every rule and the exception to your QB rule of Guys who can THROW play QB. You see, that is the primary purpose/differentiator of the QB position. If you can't throw or are below average throwing then YOU DON'T PLAY QB!!! was painfully excepted by the 2015 Southland Conference season and particularly by Lamar on 11-21-15. I was there as I am sure we all were. McNeese couldn't throw worth a crap but they could run and they had a ridiculously good defense and, if I remember correctly, a nationally highly ranked defense at that. The McNeese QB, Daniel Sams, was 7-19-37 passing but rushed 19 for 113 yards and a TD. Sam was the third leading McNeese rusher that night. Overall,they rushed for 406 yards and two TD's on 60 carries. McNeese, with the win, finished their regular season at 10-0,9-0. Not bad for a team, whose QB really couldn't throw all that well. https://static.southland.org/custompages/stats/football/2015/confldrs.htm#conf.wi2 2015 was the 2,000 yd year and, in several statistical offensive categories, Lamar was better than McNeese. Harrington was far and away the rushing leader but Sams, the McNeese QB, with almost 1,000 yards. was #3. Passing wise, Sams was #6 with a 49.3 completion rate and in passing efficiency, he's not even listed. Then, you check out the defensive stat side. McNeese ate that side like it was Grandma's gumbo. It can be done but I don't think that Lamar's defense is going to be as good. I wouldn't mind seeing a wishbone attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key to the dual threat offense is having the ability/threat of being able to throw it with some accuracy. I don't see that consistently from Colbert.

It can be done but I don't think that Lamar's defense is going to be as good. I wouldn't mind seeing a wishbone attack. 2 problems with your comparison. 1.) That game was miserable weather wise. Box score says it was 62 degrees and 17 MPH winds...but that was at kickoff and a cold front started blowing in around halftime. 2nd half of the game was light rain with winds of 25+ probably and temperature had dropped into the low 50s upper 40s. Not great weather for passing numbers. 2.) Lamar’s defense was absolutely putrid...in fact that was the 3rd game they gave up over 400 yards on the ground. But while on the topic of QBs, I noticed something that I don’t think has happened since the return of football. We acutually have all QBs spaced out over all 5 levels of eligibility. Colbert (Sr), Hoy (Jr), Morse (So), Dallas (R-Fr) and Johnson (T-Fr). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracula Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 I had forgotten how miserable the weather was at that game. Now I remember. I was standing at the field house end, home field side entrance ramp and I was going into the bathroom to warm up. (T-FR). What does the T stand for?

What does the T stand for?True freshman (T-FR) that was one of the only games of any kind that I left before it was over. Miserable cold wind. They will try and make it thru the year with Colbert, Hoy, and Morse. They aren't planning on playing Dallas or Johnson. I think they have Dallas holding PATs to get his letter. I have a feeling before it's over all three will get playing time at some point due to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think I really only remember it because me and a buddy were freezing out butts off and he had a friend text him for us to come meet him in the Morgan Suites...I’ve never been so happy to have friends who have friends who have friends that know people with money lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracula Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sometimes, I would hang out on the visitor side back porch of the Montagne Center. It's got a pretty good elevated view. One game, I needed to walk over to the home field side and video the band's half time performance for my son. Cutting through the Montagne would save some steps on my creaky knees and that is always a good thing. The problem was the entrance doors were locked but employees would come and go and I made my move. I walked from one side, of the Montagne, to the other passing the Morgan Suites entrance and their buffet table in the hallway. I was not impressed with that buffet table. They may as well have offered left over Halloween candy. Maybe this season, I'll check it out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I wasn’t impressed with the food...same old Chartwells food they served at the dining hall when I was there...but the beer was paid for and the heater was on...life was good! On another note...just saw a picture where it looks like they are changing out the faded Lamar light up letters on the video board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoonbill Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 looking at all the videos of practice and all the interviews ive decided that we actually look like a college football team.Hoping for a quick, confidence building start. I know the first game won't show much, but a decent showing in Lubbock, then a home game we should win if we're any good would be a good start imho. The defense looks weaker than last year in fall practice but hopefully that's due to an improved offense. Definitely bigger up front. Good gravy it was hot Saturday at 8 damn 15 in the morning!!

KABrother88 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Got another new name added to the roster in former Texas Tech DB Willie Sykes. Originally signed with Arkansas and played in 12 games as a true freshman the transferred to TT and used his RS in 2016. Played in 8 games with 2 starts last season in Lubbock.

Normally, you'd be excited to see a former SEC/Big 12 guy on the roster until you begin to ask why he isn't still at those schools? Coach Woodard signed big school players but it was because they had disciplinary issues. Do you what the story is on Sykes. Is he just a guy or is he a player with 'issues'?

Dracula Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Schultz and company strike me as experienced coaches, who know what they are doing, on a higher level than Woodard could ever reach. We'll find out soon enough, not just by Lamar winning the game but how they look playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
