mean did literally every single qb and the walk on's get injured? Because while he made a valiant effort, Lynn Bowden made your offense completely 1 dimensionl.

Pretty sure all of the QBs on sxholly went down with injuries. But you want to play a walk on just because he happens to be labeled as a QB in the program? Over an amazing athlete who will touch the ball on every single play? Walk ons aren't very good usually. That's why they don't get scholarships. Dumb take.



The main issue is that youre essentially telling the defense that youre running the ball every single time. i dont care how good of an athlete he is, eventually theyre going to figure out how to stop it, See the Tennessee game. Walk ons arent necessarily the best option, but a play action pass ran by a walk on qb atleast makes the defense be honest.

I think Stoops is very aware of the problems associated with playing how they were forced to this year, but given all 3 of their scholarship QBs were hurt and given they went 5-2 with Bowden playing QB, I think I'll go out on a limb and say they made the absolute best out of what they had.

Do you honestly think Stoops wouldn’t have started the one healthy walk on we had left if he was a better option that Bowden at QB?

He was a good enough athlete to go 5-2 as a starter and may have been 6-1 save your defense’s goal line stand. Your hot take is absolutely atrocious.
