Obviously there is a huge drop off from PJ to the current stable. Many have questioned the OL play. It has not been that great but we are averaging over 150 yds a game rushing with NO passing game. It would be 175 ypg if you take away that 28 yd. bad snap loss in the CU game we would be averaging 175 yds. What are the options at QB? Unfortunately there is no clear cut answer and we really don't have a prolific passer on the roster. Here are some stats:
Darrin Grainger- Played WR until his senior season. Threw for 2,125 yds and averaged 177 ypg but completed barely 50% of his passes.
Jemar Lincoln- Threw for only 886 yds in his senior season or 74 ypg. Did not realize he had such minimal passing stats in HS.
Harris Roberts-Hurt his senior season in HS and played only 5 games. Averaged lees than 100 ypg. passing his senior season and in his career.
Hamp Sisson- Threw for 2,451 yards his senior season and completed 66% of his passes. and averaged 204 ypg. He played at a 7A High school in Alabama.
If you go strictly by stats Sisson is the most accomplished passer. With that said he did not look good in the preseason scrimmage but CCH said he had really looked good in fall camp. Right not it looks like we don't have an obvious choice at QB as far as throwing it goes. If we ever could use another Ingle Martin it is now. I am hoping someone will step up and become a good QB. Who that might be I have no idea. I do know that it seems like we have always had a QB in waiting but I do not think we have that now thanks to the previous staff. QB should be the #1 priority this recruiting system. Didn't we have a good QB de-commit and go to JMU? I have no idea what the coaches will do but I do know we are in the toughest position at QB that I can remember.
