2023 Fall Camp Notes - Quarterbacks

Looks like option to me:

Apparently not the greatest showing from the QBs throwing End Zone routes during the open portion of practice this morning.

It was also somewhat rainy so that probably didn't help.

 
Does anybody know whether Rhule ran the option at Temple or Baylor?

If he didn't, I wonder if he's mixing it in just to make fans happy. I do not like the concept of spending practice time on the option for a QB who probably needs more practice time honing his arm skill.

If you want to run outside, peel him out on keepers every once in a while, but mostly just run power tosses to your backs. I know there'll be a lot of disagreement though "because we need the option to be successful again!"         :leghump:

I mean option can look like option and not be option.  Ends up just being a delayed handoff/toss if you will.  Run to this point and pitch.   Not really an option but the defender has to respect it the first few times you do it.  And then when he doesn't the next time you call a keep.  Keeps everyone from having to think about what might happen on the offensive side.  Keeps mistakes to a minimum, everyone knows how and where they are getting the ball.

Totally agree with what you're saying, and there's no way to know which one it is from that one photo from the first day of fall camp.

Yes, but not a lot. Charlie Brewer and PJ Walker were both capable runners, but not guys whom you build an offense around their legs.

This is pure speculation, but based on how much Satterfield used the wildcat last year and some of the things we saw them try with Haarberg in the spring, I wonder if they're at least tinkering with the idea of using him in some wildcat-esque packages.

A lot of defenses want to stay in 2 high these days which means they have trouble accounting for both the QB and RB.

Yeah, you don't see many teams anymore really press the edge. It's more approach the corner and make a business decision. :D
