Funny you should say that. It was Gate City High.

We were tiptoeing along the precipice. If we hadn't brought in Lefty, who the hell is our QB right now?
Much more likely we'd have a defensive backfield full of Interceptors.
Said this above but this is getting to be a long winded thread so I'll repeat it here. At my highschool, football players who had a legit shot at a 1A scholarship offer would intentionally, voluntarily repeat a grade. If Dwayne was five when he started kindergarten and repeated a year, the math would work out.

# | QB Joshua Jackson Builds on Decades-Long Relationship with Scot Loeffler, Sets Hokies Visit It's like if Joe Montana and Michael Vick had a kid... then over here, Steve Young and Donovan McNabb had a kid... and then those kids had a kid....
Speaking of his age, was he intentionally held back a year? That was a thing at my high school, to help prep players with a legit shot at a 1A scholarship.
Yeah, I can't wait to see what kind of feathers Jim Harbaugh ruffles in Ann Arbor. I honestly think Lloyd Carr has turned the head job at McChicken into a no-win proposition.
As for your second point, yup. Because I can foresee few to no scenarios where Bud Foster does not land the head job, but continues to work under another head coach besides Frank. And Whit has to know that.
I was almost about to respond that if Tyrod had redshirted, he probably would have left after the 2010 season anyway because the redshirt year would have prepped him that much more for the college game.
Then I remembered his QB coach was Mike O'Cain.
But just speaking practically, how do you fit him in? Make him the backup over Motley? Give him the wildcat package instead of Durkin? Somehow try to use all four QBs? That's why I say, sure, play him, but only if we need him. Don't force him onto the field out of some misguided sense of imperative.
My mother went to high school with a girl named Fonda Head.
Hand to Jesus.

# | QB Joshua Jackson Builds on Decades-Long Relationship with Scot Loeffler, Sets Hokies Visit This is an idiotic comparison, obviously not in terms of the production I expect, but I see more Joe Montana than Michael Vick, if that makes sense.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I mean MY comparison to Joe Montana is idiotic, not Shoog's comparison to Tyrod.

We need a QB on roster to legitimately challenge Lawson for the job. Even if Lawson doesn't get beaten out, an open competition will make him that much better.

# | QB Joshua Jackson Builds on Decades-Long Relationship with Scot Loeffler, Sets Hokies Visit I just wanted to make it ABUNDANTLY clear I was not saying Joshua Jackson = Joe Montana. I'm okay being self-deprecating to make a point.
I kind of agree with your kind of agreement, but...
I think you only do this if his talents are needed. If the offense is humming with Brewer backed up by Motley with Durkin in a wildcat package, there's no need to play Lawson, and the 2-3 years we do have him (conjecture, obvs) could potentially be that much better with the investment of a redshirt year.

To be fair, RR wanted to modernize a bloated, antiquated tradition at UM that is second only to Notre Dame in pretention and had worked to ensure that Michigan is at best an also-ran and at worst a doormat in the B1G.

# | QB Joshua Jackson Builds on Decades-Long Relationship with Scot Loeffler, Sets Hokies Visit Three picks in 14 games? I am IMPRESSED. Not at the stat, but because in watching his highlights, he set his feet on maybe 40% of his passes. This kid can throw on the run with touch as a junior in high school.
My knock is, sometimes he didn't set his feet even when he could have. He looks to have kind of the same "happy feet" in the pocket that Sean Glennon had. But his escapability looks much better than Glennon's.
He looks like a pass-first mobile QB. That might be perfect for Lefty's system. I want this guy.
When you break it down, both offenses should be better just based on experience and lack of attrition.
Our defense should be better for the same reason, while theirs suffered some losses. Though the replacements might be equivalent or better.
There's nothing that tells me that Ohio State is in any position to have a significantly greater advantage this year than they did last year. Meaning if we are able to seize control of the game and play our brand of football, we're gonna win. If we can't, we're gonna lose. Anyone setting the line at double digits is basing that on the result of the two programs' seasons last year, not on how the teams actually stack up against each other.
After all this talk about being worked about the mike spot (myself included) watch Motuapuaka have an All-ACC season. Seems to be the way it goes.
Closed on Shabbos.

I still don't know. It was apparently on the level, because everyone... teachers, parents, administrators... were all open about the fact that the decision was being made for football.
