Redux Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Or, enough players "test positive" and they qualify to cancel the game for a No Contest. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I have never been to college practice but at the HS level the 4th string QB is not getting any reps besides just drill work. I would guess that at a D1 program, once the season has started, the 4th string QB has not taken a live snap in at least 3 weeks now. 1 Quote Link to comment

Since their starter was injured pre-season, I'm guessing the 4th string QB (3rd string after the starter went down) has spent at least some time running the 2s. I would agree though that he hasn't had much for meaningful reps. Blitz often... Quote Link to comment

But my thinking is the last two weeks were spent with 90% of the snaps going to the freshmen that never played before. 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 #4 would probably mostly be a practice squad guy, no? Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 #4 is probably a better TE than he is a QB 1 1 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Maybe it is just me...but this is not an injury thing that a team is trying to hide. This is a virus that is killing people left and right. Probably not the time to "play coy" probably the time for him to do a little video and be like "Look, I took precautions and I still have positive tests, please be careful, wash your hands, distance yourself, wear your masks". Use this as a platform instead of hiding. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Guessing they are trying to keep us guessing but there is a lot of smoke so guessing there is fire. Regardless, we are preparing for a pro style QB. 4th string guy is 6'5" and reportedly throws good. He was a couple state championships in high school and put up some pretty solid stats. Quote Link to comment
