Same here but the only one we will see is Hamp Sisson.(at least for the time being) No one else has taken a snap in college. Let’s hope he is up to the task.fu77fan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 11:15 pmI just happened to look at the roster. I was surprised to see that we have 8 quarterbacks on the roster. That seems like a lot of quarterbacks to me. I realize some like Shiplett might play other positions .
I personally do not care who the QB is , I simply want someone to step up!!!!!
This has certainly been an area of focus for the coaching staff in terms of getting walk-ons into the program and trying to build depth.fu77fan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 11:15 pmI just happened to look at the roster.

But you know, nobody has taken a snap in college until they’ve taken a snap in college. I’m not sure how it matters when that snap happens. I wouldn’t count on having the luxury of 4th quarter mop up action to get guys experience.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 12:44 amSame here but the only one we will see is Hamp Sisson.(at least for the time being) No one else has taken a snap in college.

One way or other a QB other than Hamp will see the field this fall.
Jace Wilson is the other full-scholarship QB on the roster
Next year, Carson Jones of Maryville, TN will join the team - Carson is also a full-scholarship.
Several of the walk-on QBs were recruited as PWOs. From what I've seen as a group there is a lot of ability.
Charles Watson was an all-state selection at Charlotte Latin.
Gabe Jonson was a three-year starter - and his team made it into NC AAAA third-round playoffs all three years.
Trey Wainwright is the USA Today Florida Offensive Player of the year.
Sisson could graduate after this season or come back next season. If Sisson comes back (I assume he will) for the first time in YEARS Furman will have the ability to build future QB depth. I know we don't want to keep kicking the can down the road but in 2023, Jace will be in year three and Carson Jones will be in year two, and hopefully one or two of the walk-on QBs steps in at #3.

I was hoping that out of this cattle call SOMEBODY would be clearly better than what we saw in the spring. So much for that I guess. So I hope the coaches have rewritten the playbook to get optimal performance out of our guy. Like Jesse Jackson used to say,”Don’t worry ‘bout what you don’t have. Use whatcha got!”
Hate to disappoint you but the playbook looked exactly the same at the scrimmage Saturday. The stand still handoff 8 yds deep and run for your life. The sideway option where there is no option just a straight pitch for a 5 yd loss. The insane straight sideways pass behind the line of scrimmage if perfectly executed gets 2 yds max etc, etc. Of course I am sure this was all just a smoke screen and we won’t see these come game time.Furmanoid wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 8:59 amDepth is good but more than 4 is a crowd.

You know the definition of insanity is trying to get different results from doing the same things. That’s Furman’s offense in a nutshell.I’m thinking that maybe you should place a huge bet on us losing by 2 scores. Is that 2 safeties, 2 field goals, 2 touchdowns, or a combo of two of those?apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 1:08 pmHate to disappoint you but the playbook looked exactly the same at the scrimmage Saturday.

You don't really think Furman would show its cards in an open house scrimmage - adding while running lots of young players in and out?apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 1:08 pmHate to disappoint you but the playbook looked exactly the same at the scrimmage Saturday.

Thinking like 10-14 points only because the defense will be on the field most of the game.Roundball wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 1:12 pmI’m thinking that maybe you should place a huge bet on us losing by 2 scores.

I'm going to wait until 9/4/21 to pass judgement on our offense.Oh I’m definitely going to the game, can’t wait. That’s why they play the game. Don’t think 10-14 points is a stomp. What I think means absolutely nothing. Like I said I hope I get totally shocked and surprised and we roll.
