With 1 year of eligibility remaining for Winbush, Heupel won’t risk losing other QBs to transferring because they were given an unfair chance to start
Next year would complete the trifecta. It’s a guarantee for the Cotton bowl since the other two (Fiesta and Peach) are the invitational games. We need NY6 next year
I have already booked my hotel for Arlington.
I certainly hope so and I hope they didn't promise Winbush anything more that the chance to fairly compete.
So you’re saying Kingston is our last hope?
From the qb video it was basically implied that Kingston is a coach with Milton. Doesn’t seem like there’s interest there to transfer and start.
It will definitely be too cold for @Ucfmikes.... more beer for us!
Wow. Lots of intriguing possibilities. Good problems to have I guess. A lot has changed since the Fiesta Bowl
Do you really think that matters? Wow! I certainly hope not. In my opinion that wouldn't speak well of Heup.
Yes it matters. I said Frost would end up playing his guys over old established starters and was told I was stupid. That’s what coaches do. If all things are equal he gives PT to the kids he made promises to. Not someone else.
No one is saying he will prioritize his guys over winning. But in the event of a tie or the number 1 struggles early like Holman you put in in your guy and let him gain experience. If Milton were healthy it would be a moot point.
I thought the post I was replying to was saying Heup would play a player just because he recruited him instead of playing the best player to get a team win. Any coach who plays a player just because he recruited him over someone he didn't isn't a good coach.
No but if Mack and Wimbush struggle it would make sense to start Gabriel even if he struggles because he’s gaining experience. 3 years ago playing Holman the entire year we probably get the same amount of wins. In that case you plug in your recruit for the future. Plus he fits system better. Mack and Wimbush may not be ideal for Heupel offense like Gabriel could be. TBH there aren’t many offenses besides wishbone or Trip option where you want a QB that can run but not be great passing the ball.
If you are saying all of your quarterbacks are struggling and it doesn't matter who plays you are not going to get a win then I would agree you may as give your quarterback of the future the reps to see if he can really develop to be your quarterback of the future. In that situation, you better also be looking for some talented quarterbacks next recruiting season. I also believe that you should use offenses and defenses that best fit the talents you have and can recruit. Coach Kruczek was in my opinion very good at this Coach O'Leary was not. For me, I hope I would always go with the players and schemes that would give my team the best chance for a win.
I liked Kruz as well. But you need to find talented QB recruits every year because of injury. We ended up not needing a good one for 1.9 years even after Milton struggled as a Freshman. Would have been nice to have a Gabriel type player last year under Milton. Mack and Wimbush skill sets are just too different from Milton to have the same type of plays called.
