As long as the new QB is a pocket passer we should have a chance. We proved last week that we can't stop the run..

 

Careful what you wish for..................

 

Edsall is changing to a better, more experienced QB to try and get a win.  If his risk pays off with a win and CWT stays with QF and loses, who do you think wins the argument?

Edsal had a reason to make the change. We are still trying to figure out who gives us the best chance to win. If QF struggles, you better believe Bench will get his chance. QF had a below average game against FSU but he did take care of the football. That is where Bench struggles.

 

What?  He threw an interception in the endzone and had at least one dropped pick 6.  I would not call that taking care of the football.  If SB gets derided for a Maryland game where he had one INT and 8 catchable drops, QF should likewise get derided for giving away 6 points, nearly providing 6 points and having 1 in 13 third down efficiency.

Honestly, although the pass wasn't just awesome, I think it was more on Dillon that Flowers. It was a "go get it", and Dillon didn't.

I just saw the replay. The pass was freakin terrible. The only player that could catch that ball was the defender. If asked, I'm sure Flowers would say he threw a horrible ball.

It was a timing throw to the post, and although a little short it was right on a line to the post and catchable if Dillon gets there. Dillon's inside fake cost him too much time/momentum, so he was never able to get there to make a play on the ball.

I don't get it.  The coaches named Perry Hills the best QB.  Surely they know who is better.  Why would they change?

It is a discussion board, right?  If everyone were to agree, what would be the point?     This isn't a life or death discussion here, folks.  It is only football.  Why do people get stressed out whe

We're playing 2013 USF

 

no. 2013 USF was destroyed by a FCS team.

You can't compare QBs from different games. FSU's defense this year will likely end up much higher ranked than Maryland's in 2014. Why can't everyone sit back, relax, and see how it all plays out? Bench got his chance last year and didn't seize the opportunity. QF is just now getting his chance and, thus far, has won a game he was supposed to and lost one he was supposed to. This will be a make or break game for him.

 

 

I don't think so.  He's our starter and don't see that changing (barring injury)

Another thing I wanted to add to this thread. Edsall is one of those unheralded coaches. I think the guy does a good job of adapting his teams' style of play to the personnel he has. He was able to make UConn consistently competitive in the Big East, and he had a really tough time recruiting up there. He's making Maryland more consistent in the Big 10, which I think is a taller order than the ACC. I think the Terps will be ready to play, and we have to take it to them.

They are in disarray too

The least flawed team will prevail

Btw, now I know why my 50 yd line tickets were $4.80 each on stub hub.

 

We are not in disarray.  

 

 

Oh yes, I forgot we have been a very successful program under Tags.

Not being in disarray doesn't quite equal a very successful program. 

 

Also, losing to a top 10 football team doesn't put your team in disarray. A 20 point loss to Bowling Green does.

What about being 7-19 under our current head coach, with zero Quality wins, and a blow out loss to a 1-AA school

While we can't even exactly declare ourselves conference killers, we're hardly in disarray. In 2013, sure, but don't think so in 2015.

Nope, not when he took over a horribly peiced together football team with a losing mentality.

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't see a reason to keep harping on the past when it's clear that improvements have been made on the field as well as with the attitude and confidence in the locker room. 

 

If you want to keep bringing up past seasons to validate your disappointment in the current staff, that's cool. But, I've enjoyed watching the energy this team has brought in two games, as well as the talent improvement made. 

 

Looking forward to Saturday.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
