UL backup QB Nunez may play more; Davis still starter

[ManAboutTown]

Sorry Mike.... of those 3 mentioned... 1 was D1 coach.... 1 interviewed high school athletes...and the other... pretty sure has been spotted with the Cajun Chickens old satellite and headphones, sitting on the top row of Lamson Park during football practices eavesdropping.... 1 definitely qualified....possibly 2.

I've forgotten more football then you'll ever know CajunDildeaux..
Mike knows all 3 of us personally. Judging by your posts, you know diddly ____.

Brutal CajunJeaux, but definitely funny. Just for the record, I haven't proclaimed Nunez better than Davis at this point. I did say Nunez has a big set on him and showed it Saturday night.

I watched Davis limp off the field after the second series, so I had no problem with him coming out of the game. I'm still confused as to why Hudspeth threw him under the bus saying he was "like a deer in the headlights", at halftime.

He threw Joe Dillon under the bus as well. He's a moron.

When I watched the game back over I really wasn't impressed with Nunez. Put himself in danger in the pocket too many times with nervous footwork, missed basic passes, and didn't do anything special. Hoping Davis is healthy to go for Idaho game

It took davis 4 years to look competent. It was the guys first action in FBS. What do you want from a backup transfer from FCS?

He racked up stats playing against prevent defense. It's easy to look good when DBs start 15 yards off ball. It basically looked like the Cajuns normal defensive alignment.

And thus the vaunted signature Mark Hudspeth two quarterback system lives yet again. I still don't understand how a quarterback is supposed to get into a rhythm when he's got a series and then is pulled, or perhaps when he does in fact get into a rhythm of completing say two passes in a row and dion "definitely gonna run" ray is inserted. Let Davis keep his job if he's hurt go to Nunez. Don't play mix and match.

It's worse.

It's now a tri-QB system with Drive Killer and his "package"

Why does Smedium do this? High school coach gonna high school it.

I've had this take with everyone I've discussed the situation with.
I'm not taking anything away from Nunez, because there is certainly something to be said about being clutch. He did make some big time throws.

However, its one thing to play free and have the ability to just throw the ball around the yard against a prevent defense, who was gassed and already bad; and an entirely different thing to execute a game plan, prep for a defense that is prepping for you, and run a team from the first snap.

This is a good problem to have.

I agree stick with one QB unless he is imploding.

Don't swap out QBs just to swap out.

They had no film on him either.

Things can change when a good DC has a chance to study tendencies.

It's a good problem to have if your coach knows how to handle it.
From your own comments, historical perspective tells us otherwise.

Don't try to worm out. I got you.

I've seen our QB's prep all spring summer and fall look much much worse than Nunez. Not crowning him as the starter or the savior, he did his job which is more that can be said for others. He gave us a chance to win the game.
