Rizk looked eerily similar to McKenzie

[Willie Knightime]

He's even built similar and wears the same number. His movements were similar. He looks like a real QB!!! Which is why there's no way I see him thriving under Gus. Hope I'm wrong, but until Gus proves me wrong, I just don't see it going well. Probably end up transferring like the other real QBs did.

 

[Gwoz]

Isn't it odd, that the only QB on the team last year and the one that seems to look the best was the 4th QB to see the field. Imagine redshirting, and watching 3 other QBs who just joined the team get playing time including a 17 year old over you.

Hard to believe isn't it. I have to put all this on Gus the Bust! I would be willing to bet if KZ were on this team that Gus the Bust wouldn't play him.

 

[Colonel Mortimer]

Stop this.

I’m betting Gus wouldn’t play Shaq either. He and GOL didn’t recognize talent. Wonder how many guys came through our doors and never got a chance to play and could have been good.

Let's not get crazy. He did fine when the game was already out-of-hand. I will say he just looked more comfortable in the pocket out there than KJ and Jacurri. Kept his eyes up field. Threw some throws with touch. Recognized BYU had messed up defensive coverage on the last TD throw and threw it out there to give the WR a chance on the ball...and they capitalized. I definitely think he should see meaning reps the rest of the season. We have to know what we have for next season. We've seen Jacurri and he can certainly run, but his throwing is a long way from being consistently successful.

The difference is GOL eventually hired Taaffe and let him take over the offense from 2009-2014, while he focused on defense and special teams. He finally recognized his shortcoming.

 

[ucfversusbcs]

Apparently Rizk is 6 feet 2. MM about 5 ft 10.
He's got that working for him.

Another emphasis on how bad QB selection was by Gus, contributing to all his other poor decisions.

Bad decisions by the head guys.

 

[Asphalt.Jungle]

it was always a positive reflection on rizk's ability that he was 4th. YOU DO NOT want gus to like you as a QB.

 

[Poolside Knight]

Slow down ….


but I do think he would be a fanbase favorite being from South Florida like so many UCF students if he has success

 

[Central Floridave]

The back-up to the back-up to the back-up Qb is always the fan favorite in a 5 game losing streak.

 

[Poolside Knight]

 

[HammerB08]

Can't find a QB or a defensive coordinator after four years. Most never get this many chances to be wrong.

 

[Yaes]

Stop this.

No sure what you mean. Stop what?

 

[lawknight]

I'm going to reserve judgment.I don't think that BYU game planned at all for Rizk. Not saying that Rizk is bad but it will be much harder when the D game plans for you and Granpa BOOM is calling outdated plays.

I have thought Rizk showed considerable promise from the beginning and I hope he gets a chance to play at least a half. At the same time, I am confident Gus Bust's play calling can make any QB look bad.

On another note, I don't think BYU planned for any of our QBs they planned for Harvey and the running game. Hell, everyone knows we can't pass just like everyone knows our O line and our D lack dept and have proven to be weak.

I agree
That said, I think Gus's post game explanations have rubbed of on you. 😆

What happened is called THE OLD MAN HAS LOST HIS MIND! Gus makes bad decisions!

 

[Colonel Mortimer]

Comparing the 4th string QB to the best QB we’ve had in program history, after he had one quarter where he lit up backups in a blowout.

They need more than 3 drives to game plan for you.

Yes, I must admit, they have.

I don't think anyone is saying Rizk is KZ. I believe they are saying Rizk was reminiscent of KZ. There will never be another KZ. He was one of a kind as a player, a fighter and a young man. I do think it remains to be seen whether Rizk deserved to be the 4th string QB.

 

[KnightMatt8]

You can't spell "Rizk" without "K" and. "Z." Surely it's a sign.

And I didn’t say that either. Comparing them, which is what this thread is, at this point, is ridiculous.

Not at all. I was only pointing out similarities. Relax.

Glad to hear they don't owe any $$.

Delray Beach! My old stomping ground! Moved back to Orlando to watch Gus and the Knights! Just kidding. But I did move back to be closer to UCF sports!

 

[mr. knightman]

Don't worry about Rizk, he'll start somewhere else next year.

Yeah, that's a sad commentary on where the program has been for a while.
