Hodges threw for 562 and 6 TDs Samford had 737 yds of offense..Strange game...both teams had 5 turnovers...WCU had 19 possessions and Samford 18...that's 37 possessions in a 60 minute game that is ridiculous!!!

Samford outscored WCU 66-28? !!
A few notes:

1. Tyrie Adams was lifted in that game due to injury, I believe. So, WCU played with their backup QB.

2. WCU lost three fumbles in the first quarter. Samford turned all 3 turnovers into touchdowns.

Samford is still a good team (despite their record) and could light up a bad defense like WCU. The game got out of hand early after WCU struggled to hold onto the ball and lost their best player.

True to form as well, Devlin Hodges was still in the game even up 21 in the fourth quarter. Samford almost never substitutes him. I guess we will find out how that works for them next season when they turn to a new QB who has almost never seen the field in years.

I am sure for next year Sammy will be counting on another FBS QB transfer. That's what they do.

We have been down that path too, and it worked quite well.

Maybe they will. Samford has gone a transfer route a few times recently, and none of those guys were as good as Devlin Hodges, who they actually recruited as a high school kid.

we did much the same last year. How much did Roberts really play last year as we beat Citadel by 30 etc. ?

Roberts played a bunch in mop up duty. Of course, he was IN every game as the holder, but he played QB in at least 4 contests.

Hendrix would typically yank Blazejowski as soon as the game was in hand. Hatcher almost never pulls Hodges regardless of the score.

I wouldn’t be one little bit surprised to see this young man lining up as the Starting QB for Samford next year instead of the R-JR (in 2019) who is now listed as Hodges backup:

https://samfordsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6251

He has a better completion % and has already thrown for more career TD’s than the currently listed back-up. AND...QB Parents can be a particularly curious species, from my years of observing their behaviors in the wild.
