Do we talk about all the turnovers that HH was having and how it took a injury before he was finally benched?

Pretty much what @Husker in WI said.  It took a ton of turnovers before Sims got benched as well.  As I recall, HH was better for awhile, and we were at least winning the games.  And Purdy wasn't full speed.

So we definitely gave Sims more than enough chances.  But once he got benched we didn't have many options other than HH.

 
We'll see I guess...

Satterfield was stressing a point with this quote, but it speaks to how much it's on the mind to flip minus-17 to plus-something.

"Like, if we have to take a knee just three times and punt the ball but we don't turn it over, we'll do that. We're not going to turn the ball over anymore," the coach said. "And they know if you turn the ball over you're not going to play."

That goes back  to the depth conversation.

"We're at a point now where if you do turn the ball over, you're coming out of the game and whether you get back in the game, that's yet to be seen."

Sorry if this was already posted somewhere else, but guys have some new numbers. Filling out the single digit numbers will cause a lot of these to change as well, guys will take those and other guys will swap to their old number, etc. Just the swaps and summer enrollees that I think might play I noticed - some of the swaps may have happened in the spring and I just missed them

  • 13 IGC
  • 15 Ceyair Wright
  • 17 Jacory Barney 
  • 19 Jalyn Gramstad 
  • 29 Carter Nelson
  • 91 Nico Ottomanelli
  • 97 Keona Davis

Something has to give between Raiola and Coleman, both will play a lot and can't be on the field at the same time wearing 15. My guess is Raiola gets a single digit, although Coleman could as well. Jalyn Gramstad shares 19 with Lloyd, so again he's have to change numbers to actually play. That's not difficult to do, but you could take it as an indication that he's more of an emergency guy than an expected backup.

Curious about #15 as well.  It's definitely possible that Raiola gets a single-digit.  But he apparently is also a big Patrick Mahomes fan.  So he might really want to stay #15.  And voting a freshman into that group would be impressive.

It's also interesting that they're both #15 in NCAA Football 25.  I've completed quite a few passes from #15 to #15.   :lol:

Haha same, if Coleman and Lloyd play anything like their video game likenesses we're going to have a great year.

I kind of assumed a QB would always be a single digit - not as a rule or anything, but they are in a leadership position by default. But looking at the history with Rhule's teams half have been without single digit QBs (2014-15 Temple, 2018-19 Baylor). Coleman could definitely earn a single digit, or change - do we know if he has a specific reason for #15? Maybe Raiola can buy the number off of him like they do in the NFL, drop some NIL money into Coleman's charity.

Rhule said the same thing last year.  Right before he kept running the same RB out there fumble after fumble after fumble after...

I'm not sure this is accurate. Grant did not have a fumble after the Illinois game(the only other viable RB also fumbled in that Illinois game) and he also got moved back on the depth chart several times for fumbles.  As far as I know after like week 6 no RBs fumbled. Our issue was at QB.

Grant was fumbling so bad in fall camp that Rhule called him out on it in a press conference.  But he was still the starter against Minnesota.  When we had everyone available.  

Then he fumbled away the Minnesota game.

A couple things on the #15 - Raiola is actually not that attached to it, and insists he doesn't copy Mahomes. Says he's had the haircut since before he paid attention to football. His #15 was originally for Tebow, then he switched to #1 and tried to keep that at Buford but it was taken. Apparently Malachi Coleman's goal is to get a single digit which would resolve the problem, or sounds like Raiola would not go out of his way to keep 15 if he gets a single digit number. 

 
Right but he got 9 carries(and didn't see a carry after his fumble until the NIU game week 3)  in that game and I don't think I'd put a loss where we threw 3 picks on a single fumble. The coaches definitely stuck by him more than Satt's statement would indicate, but it's a bit of hyperbole to say they just kept shoving him in the game despite fumble after fumble when he had 3 all year and had very few healthy backs by the end of the season. If we benched everyone who turned the ball over literally last year we might not have 11 people to play on offense.
