Should Cajuns consider two-QB system?

I can tell you this, if we don't score a TD in 1 of our first 2 drives, I think we'll be seeing Nixon early.

Again, this can be said with a grain of salt. I think you will see Nixon early anyway, regardless of what we've done on offense to that point. I don't think it will be just because the offense struggled.

If Robinson doesn't fumble or give up on TD, if Eli doesn't muff punt, riles doesn't drop a first down and Gordon doesn't false start... We might not have seen Nixon at all. Or maybe if those things don't happen we see Nixon in mop up duty. Haack still played great despite those things.

Based on what logic do we see Nixon early? I'm not saying we won't. But why do you think so? Shift in coach's confidence? It being NSU and taking the lower risk route (ie more ground than aerial)? Why wouldn't we allow Haack the opportunity... after not having failed against the best defense he'll see this year... against perhaps the worst defense he'll see this year?

I hope you're wrong. I want to see Haack further mature with the skill players... making plays with his arm all over the field... leading into the Tech game... and the best the SBC has to offer. If he clearly can't find success against NSU, pull him for Nixon. But the guy won the start from preseason... and nothing he did lost the start for him at Kentucky.

Its too soon to tell but we may just have Jake D. and Bryan M. on the same team right now. If so, you gotta play em both.

Uhh....

You give Haack the reigns. Let the flow of the game play out. Occasionally bring in Nixon to soften up the d-line. Before you know it, Nixon passing lanes will open up due to the defense keying on the run, Haack's running lanes will open up due to the defense keying on the pass, and Eli's complete game will be wide open because now there are multiple people to gameplan for, not just stacking 9 in the box to smother him like Kentucky was doing early on.

This is a good problem and I like it.

Oh yes indeed!!!

Perfect world, we get a huge lead and Jordan Davis can get some snaps at the end.

Which QB has the strongest arm with the most zip??? Which is faster??? Which has the best completion percentage??? Which QB gives the dual threat to help the running game and can pass very well (100%)??? I love the speed option, or giving to the RB off the fake, or having a third option of a load coming with the QB---think I have seen passing after this also---I love the read option, I love the regular option, and I love when Nixon rolls out of the pocket to pass or run

We talked about it before the game and felt that the backup should be Haack since he is the desperation guy for passes!!! So last week N'Western played horribly on defense against the run, so who would be the better choice to start against them??? Here we go!!!

I don't know who we is, but that not good logic, last year, our opponents loaded the box because we could not throw past 10 yards. Hack had a great game, take away the drops and bad routes he had a great game. So we tie game kick to KY, three and out get the ball back with 7 minutes on clock.....3 and out.
How about nixon on third down and short , or on the goal line

Both styles can work. When Desormeaux and Fenroy were in the backfield Des was not a great passer probably comparable to Nixon in passing ability. Des and Fen broke single game all time total offensive yards in the history of the school 4 times that year running read option. They faced many D's that tried stacking the box. Nixon is probably closer to Des in running than TB was.
