We need to fully support D. Mack. The kid has all the tools he just needs more game reps at full speed. GO KNIGHTS!
In Darriel Mack Jr. WE TRUST...
- Thread starter Central Floridave
- Start date
I have confidence in Mack throwing 15 to 25 yds accurately with no pick 6's. The key is mixing it up and keeping Memphis guessing. Timing, execution and few penalties will help. I think we can win this.
Who Mack isn't...remember this 2015 gem?

All the sentiment and leis are really cool but what we need more than anything is noise!
A QB needs timing and rhythm with his receivers. That's why there's been a few drops and missed opportunities. A full week of practice will help some of that so explosive plays may come. Milton has been getting all the reps with these guys so that's why they look so fluid. Mack doesn't turn it over and moves the sticks. With how good Memphis can be on offense I think a more ball controlled game might serve us better anyway.
Funny, I don’t remember his name being mentioned when we played Pitt this year.
Man, for all the good things GOL did for us, he could not recruit that position at all.....from the statue kid, Harris, Flores. Greco, Calabrese, Weatherford, Harry Potter Troy Green.....so many misses.
Bortles and Gordfrey were the only hits (he inherited Moffett and Isreal so they don't count)
Went and looked it up, was only at Pitt in 2016, the past two years giving pigeons a place to rest buried at the end of the depth chart at Texas A&M.
Yes, maybe it's the #8 but I am reminded a lot of Daunte. Bigger QB with a strong arm but can also run.I was thinking the same thing. He has a strong arm and can run. Reminds me a little bit of Daunte.
This should tell you what GOL didn’t do. Look at what the program has done since he has left.
I think we will see the wisdom of Heup starting DJ against EZU paying off.
Smart on so many levels.
KZ was banged up.
Mack got valuable experience.
ECU isn’t good so no threat of losing.
When Mack was first recruited many envisioned a camp battle for the starting QB position between Mack and KZ during his senior year. Now that Mack is getting meaningful experience this season, he would certainly be in a position to challenge. Unfortunately, it's doubtful that KZ is running the offense next summer. We will have a much better idea after the next few games and spring camp what we really have in Mack. KZ will be coaching Mack during this time 
Also, our team has to continue to learn how to trust the system and the process rather than a single player. No choice here either. It has to happen. We have some really good depth at many positions next season. It will be interesting to see who winds up in the #2 QB slot. Also, our kicking game has 2 seniors graduating. I believe we're far from all is lost. We saw a champion team playing in the USF game.

How smart does coach look now for having Mack start at ECU? Heup will have a plan ready for Mack. I have a good feeling. We have the athletes just like Arby's has the meats!

I don’t expect as many Big passing plays, obviously, but I do expect more QB runs to move the chains.
He doesn't have KZ's late Junior-season instincts. But KZ Freshman v. Mack Jr. RS Freshman? I'm liking Mack Jr. more.
I'm really looking forward to Mack Jr. playing, win or lose. I think the kid is solid.
I said the same thing about Holman, and stood by him until his senior year -- when I agreed KZ needed time on-the-field now.
Mack Jr. is just getting started earlier, but I like his abilities and growing experience, more than Holman and -- again -- more than where KZ was his Freshman year.
I'm more than ready to be proven wrong, and KZ would give us a better chance to win.
But I'm looking forward to Mack Jr., with the running game and defense, showing us what we're made of.
If they stuff the box with 8, then I see big passing plays.
If Mack Jr. moves from hitting 1 of 3 to 1 of 2 ... then Memphis is in for a serious amount of butt kicking.
The question is ... what happens when we move to a P5 in a NY Bowl game after that?
I hope we get Oklahoma or West Virginia, ironically enough.
I’m hoping we get Oklahoma. Heupel will love that. ESPN could sell that angle really well - the prodigal son has returned!
I don't think prodigal means what you think it does...
Lmao I mean why did Heup put him in instead of Jones?
So we can keep hia redshirt even if he plays in the CCG, the semi-final, and the NCG
O'leary's kids (Bo). Isn't there a jar on the counter for pocket change somewhere for him?
Mack is waay better than that!!!
To let him get in a game. JH threw him a bone. He knows that Kingston isn’t playing the next two.
