Kind of agree. But I think we could beat Purdue with Warren or Grunk at QB. Beau is good enough to beat Washington and MD. Minny is going to be a tough game and we'll need some healthy players.
two losses could make the CFB playoff tough to make. not sure BIG and SEC are going to get the 8 teams all think.

re DA, JF has a history with QBs. he played Christian, Trace and Sean when they were injured. in some cases they were far below 100% and lost mobility.

If Allar couldn't go in the 2nd half lastnight, then I doubt he'll be healed up for OSU. I think we're probably going to let him heal and give Pribula 1st team reps all week in order to get him ready for OSU. To be honest, I like our chances with either for different reasons.
If I had to bet...Beau goes and Allar is available should Pribula suffer an injury. They aren't gonna put Allar in if he can't move in the pocket. Also, a cranky knee will alter your throwing motion.

Your history seems accurate. However, Beau is more accomplished than most options from the past.

Beau working with first team offense all week would be huge for him, ak, O’Brien and the players. I say each because more plays would be added that would suit a different attack and all players would be involved during the week of practice. Coaches can coach any problems they run into.

Okay....that conversation. Yesterday we saw a little bit of the youngsters really step up and take control. The team is loaded with talent and due to injuries we are witnessing the talent beginning to shine! Reed is remarkable, Tracy, Rojas, Ford, and Pribula was phenomenal and hopefully will shut up the Beau can't throw, the Beau package needs to be gone crowd. I personally want to see more of Luke at TE as Warren is gone after this year...and we need more LBers.

I think it’s important that OSU has to prepare for both PSU QB’s this week.

Franklin needs to get QB #3 reps this week if Allar cannot go.
You want Franklin to be QB#3? Isn't he out of eligibility?

All jokes aside, I think we have a better shot with Warren at QB running the wildcat than whoever is third string.

Very hard to say.....remember when Trace went into the bowl game against Ga? Grunk has receive great reviews and the experience would open his eyes about what lays ahead.

First off, this was a great win for a number of reasons. Came from behind. Led by 2nd string QB. Coaches didn't turtle the offense when Pribula took over.

I was most concerned about this last point because of JF's track record of forcing the run, and based on the way Pribula looked on the initial drive (nervous... had many of us thinking about 2021 vs Iowa 🤢).

Huge credit to everyone for hanging in and *playing to win*. Huger credit to Pribula for making it look like he does this every week.

Alright. Ready?

WHAT IF...?

-Drew Allar can play next week BUT he's not 100%?
-Drew Allar CAN'T play next week?
-Drew Allar can play, and he IS 100%... or at least SAYS that he is?

I hesitate to say this but... the offense did kinda, sorta look pretty good with Pribula under center, no?

If Drew tries to play next week, how much leash does JF give him before Pribula gets a shot? Do we live and die with Allar?

Does this performance merit #9 getting more opportunities, in general, even if Allar is 100%?

Side note: I think Julian Fleming should be bumped down the depth chart to WR5. I know he made two catches that kept us alive @USC, but you have to consider the whole body of work.

It's hard to envision a scenario at this point where he is one of the best 11 guys on the field. 🫤
Flemings blocking cannot be replaced.

I share your concerns about AK hanging around. I can see a program taking a chance on him as HC.
I'd imagine Franklin does what a lot of head coaches do and asks for a 2 year minimum commitment from the assistants he hires. Of course there's no guarantee that they stay even if they say they will, but a revolving door of one and done hires would make it brutally difficult to keep things rolling and build any sort of forward momentum.

Pribula saved PSU on Saturday for sure. However, he made some throws into tight windows that he probably won’t get away with against OSU.

Incredible game...fantastic played on BARRY ALVAREZ FIELD at Camp Randle Stadium. However...times have been tough at BOBBY BOWDEN FIELD at Doak Campbell Stadium. At Alabama they added Paul Bear Bryant's name to the Stadium! BRYANT - DENNY STADIUM! It is a shame that all those wins were stripped from Joe.....hey, did he get those wins back and retire, fired the winningest D1 coach of all time?

Alabama may need to make room for SABAN.
