That is so amazing when you think about it.  Like, how is that even possible?  

 

#1 Georgia #3 Ohio State and #4 Alabama.  All three teams lost their starting QBs. 

 

And their QBs were at the Heisman Ceremony as Heisman finalists and started multiple seasons with them.   They got drafted and in the NFL this year. 

 

And just where they left off (with these amazing QBs)..... they are back as pre-season 1,3 and 4. 

 

Pretty amazing having to replace that talent and leadership and experience their previous QBs had.  But every time they need to, they do it just like they have done before.  

 

Either it's really amazing........ or we just have to believe it. 

 

So good to finally see CJ Stroud gone, Bryce Young gone, Stetson Bennett gone.....    

 

PreSeason poll says "eh, they will be just as good as if they weren't returning soooo.... no biggie".

 

That is bulls#!t

The last time Ohio State didn't have elite quarterback play was against Nebraska in 2011. The consistency of just churning out superstars at that position every single year is unreal.

Ohio State, Alabama, and Oklahoma keep reloading one elite QB after another and after another.  For over 10 years.... It's amazing.  They do it all the time it seems like.  

 

Outside of those teams, you have other places that have 6-8-10 years of replacing amazing talent at QB as well:  Oregon, USC, and Clemson comes to mind.  Even Georgia has had great college football QB talent more often than not.  I think Texas and also A&M recruit a lot of great QBs, even though they haven't had the success (including USC) to show for it.

Not sure if anyone else is aware, but ARMY has ditched their wishbone style offense.  They will be running out of shotgun formation.  HC Monken said it was because of the new NCAA rule changes for blocking that made it more difficult to run the option-style offense.  

 

Will be pretty cool to keep an eye on their progress this season.  I wish them the best!

 

“We made the move to a different style of offense but not necessarily a different philosophy. We still want to run the ball and we want to be a really physical offensive football team. So when we run the ball, there will be a lot of option elements in what we are doing but it’s going to look different than it has in the past.”

 

This is a verrrrry looong read to learn how they went about the switch.  A nice, pleasant read to go alongside a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup.  And a Mr. Pibb.  

 

Why coach Jeff Monken, Army are finally dropping the option from their game plan - Sports Illustrated
