Back up QB was 7/7 for 82 yards and a touchdown**** Also 2 carries for 42 yards ...

MSU signed Tiano instead. Fitz was a year earlier. Minshew would've been on campus a full year before Fitz started a game....

For an absolute laugh, here are the QBs that SEC schools signed instead: Alabama: Blake Barnett MSU: Nick Tiano Vandy: Kyle Schurmer Tennessee: Quinten Dormady, Jauan Jennings, Sheriron Jones Arky: Ty Storey Mizzou: Drew Lock Auburn: Tyler Queen UGA: Nick Robinson A&M: Kyler Murray Ole ...

A buddy of mine coached him in HS and even he is surprised by the success he's had. Ole Miss was signing Shea Patterson the next year so they wanted to sign someone they knew they could move to a different position if they needed to. That wasn't Minshew....

Not specific to Ole Miss or MSU. No one offered the kid. He camped at Ole Miss multiple times. He signed with ECU out of JUCO and was mediocre there as a starter. He almost gave the game up to become a coach. He's making it work right now but he has average at best arm strength. Chad Pennington m...

Robby Ashford was having a good year prior to the injury. Not sure why his rushing stats aren't on there but he had a few long TD runs. Nice fit for Rich Rod's offense. ...

Thumping your chest in a week old thread after beating directional Colorado. Incredible. SELA’s starter was more effective against us than Starkel or Hicks, if that makes you feel better. Poor Hogs....

[quote]I didn't even know MSU was in the mix as you are a second-tier program? I thought it was AU and UF he was considering? [/quote] He flipped from MSU to Auburn...

Keep your eyes up and aim low and you’ll be fine most of the time. If a player puts their head down, they’re going to call it...

Sorry, please don't melt. Starkel is wonderful. Just don't melt....

[quote] ( Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher)...[/quote] Surprisingly Urlacher was only 4x All Pro, all 4 earned before P-Willie was in the league....

[quote] Err... as opposed to someone being covered taking off downfield like they do during a perfectly normal pass play? [/quote] Yeah they should just uh, do away with the rule I guess ?...

Are you saying that a safety wouldn't play the run when someone who is covered takes off downfield, as if they're run blocking? ...

[quote]And Ole Miss sucks bad too.[/quote] Could not agree more. Yet they dominated Arky. It was like watching a slow, torturous death....

Yes, long touchdown passes are easy to hit when the defense believes it’s a run play due to the rules of the game....

I think Starkel has a better arm. No doubt in that. He also began his first drive with an illegal formation penalty and then immediately had to call a timeout to avoid a delay of game penalty....

Thanks...

I keep seeing people say that Starkel was head and shoulders better than Hicks against Ole Miss. Hicks was pretty bad but Starkel really wasn’t much better. On the garbage td drive against the Ole Miss back ups, Starkel was 7/7 for 81 yards and a touchdown. Prior to that drive, he was 10/16 for 120 ...

[quote]dude was like the modern-day Dick Butkus out there[/quote] Good comparison actually, as Butkus only played 8 full seasons himself. But like Willis, he was the best of his time. ...

A lot of people will argue he didn't play long enough as he only played 7 full seasons but statistically he probably has a first ballot resume. 7x Pro Bowl 5x 1st Team All Pro 1x 2nd team All Pro 3x NFL Alumni Association LB of the year (As voted by former NFL LBs) What do you think?...
