Malzahn should have his "coaching license" revoked and maybe even prosecuted for wreckless disregard and coaching malfeasance. We went 8 games deep with "dereliction at quarterback" until Dylan took control of the levers. After a 5 game losing skid, at least 4 of which were winnable , Gus-O finally wakes up and plays the QB that should have been the starter from game 1 .... and what happens, we win !!!
Coaching Malpractice ....
- Thread starter The Nation of UCF
- Start date
We'll see how Dylan does next week on the road vs. a real team.
You can call it a "real team" if you like. But regardless of what he does in that game, he showed the ability to make passes, reads, etc. that neither of the previous three showed they had the ability to do.
Rizk is not as good a runner as KJ or Jacurri, but he's significantly better at passing than they are at running....
Maybe this is too binary but did Gus not play Rizk because he couldn't read the talent, or he was too stubborn to his system to not play the better QB? Or both? Either would be concerning. If anything his run first offense gets better when the defense isn't stacking the box because of a legit pass threat.

I agree with your take on Rizk but KJ's a runner??? Maybe back in the day but now he looks over weight and he's as slow as a slug! And even if he could run and can't pass, he's not an effective QB. If you want to use KJ then see if he can be an effective power back, someone who can consistently get you 1 to 2 yards no matter what. I still cannot believe gus paid good money for this guy. I have always believed if a starting player loses his starting position there has to be a good reason. GOOD COACHES don't bench winners.
I'm in on Rizk after what I saw against Arizona, and from what I saw from him I think he's better than the guy I'm about to mention, but it's worth reminding everyone that people can have games where they play way over their heads. Darriel Mack anyone? Guy had one of the greatest QB performances in school history in the Conference Championship game against Memphis, and was pretty bad in every other game he played in college.
So I'm very optimistic about Rizk, but let's not crown him completely yet.

He seems smarter than Mack. He studies film and knows what he’s looking at. Mack did not. He had no idea where he should throw ball.
I agree, but let’s see how he does on the road, how he does when a team is Abe to prepare for him. Still some questions to be answered.
