Just putting it out there. Most of us havent seen him play before. Or more than one game.

His stats were impressive in '05. So was his backup's. Okay that's all.

The thing that sticks out to me on his stat sheet is his yards per attempt. His season average was 8.2 which would suggest that he is throwing down the field some and is doing it quite successfully. That should help out our offense as it will stretch the defense and the safeties will have to stay back, in fear of getting beat deep, which will in turn open up some room underneath for crossing routes and open up the running game.

 
I would ask that you pull out the rushing numbers for this team.....i will tell you first hand that they had no running game to speak of.

By the way there is nothing like wearing your NEB jersey to an ASU game and having them scream 19-0 at you.

Like we will only remember that game.....morons.

 
i just returned from a Carribean cruise and ran into a kid who played for CU last year, he played with Keller in high school and said when he was at Arizona, he was a party animal out of control...but since he went to NU, he has completely changed and is totally all about business now.......the guy says he has never seen a qb throw the long ball better than Sam......that sounds promising to me, if our guys learn how to catch it!

he also said Keller was cocky, but confident.....maybe just what we need

Great news!!!! I think he will definately make some noise next year and next year could be the best year that we have had under Callahan.......

Yeah, apparently Sammy boy took a pretty good liking to the nose candy. Hopefully, he stays away from the stuff while he is here.

Hard to believe that game, better than 10 years ago, was the last time we've been shut out.

And didn't we beat Arizona State 77-28 the year prior?

 
Just as a comparison if we are 'number crunching'. As someone said before, if ASU had no running game they put it up a lot more. Also, what kind of protection did the line give, receivers catching/dropping balls....

Anyway, ZT's #'s throught the first 7 games of this season (Keller's were posted through 7 though the 7th he was taken out).

bottom line, Sam should still be more effective than Zac, IF he can find time to throw to his receivers......big if, although you would hope the O line would be improved? but the schedule will be tougher as well.....

 
I thought our line gave Taylor good protection this last year, and we're very young, except carl nicks who was a JUCO. it's manly if our receivers can get open, not if the line gives us time, imo.

 
we will need both.......you can't throw the long ball unless you get pass protection.......we didn't throw the long ball for that reason and more...

Zac got hurried more than he should have again this year...
