Barnett Wins the Starting Job

The only thing that concerns me, and I really do mean only, is how well he does or doesn’t know the playbook. I’m assuming he’s put in a ton of work which leads me to believe he’s got it down pretty pat by now, especially for the coaches to name him a starter. 

Best post. 

Not a big playbook...in this offense only one half of the field is active and only a hand full of plays...not complicated. Built on pace.

I now feel comfortable with my hopes for a conference championship being so high.  He's about to ball lights out and we're about to win a conference title.  He's that good.

Lights out, balls out.

He probably picked the playbook up pretty quickly.  This guy has spent his entire life learning play books and has played in a similar offense before.  He's been here since May working with coaches and WRs... I'm sure he got a grasp of it pretty quickly and actually allows us to do some things we couldn't under the other two.  I think the offense will be wide open... kid can sling it.

Looking very forward to the opener.

Never really payed attention to that. Thanks for the insight.

I bet no one from Mayberry would’ve guessed that Opie would’ve grown up to play qb at USF

Looks more like Brad Johnson ...

We'll see who's first off the bench next Saturday because blow out or not Barnett's not playing the whole game.

I wouldn't bet on this. I was hoping to see Kean get some garbage time reps in some of our blowouts last season, but there were a few such games where Strong wouldn't put him in for whatever reason.

Genuinely surprised he gets the nod, considering how long particularly Kean has been here. That can't feel good.

Either the other 2 guys are really untalented or Barnett's that good. 

Having said that, the depth at this position is terrific. If Barnett goes south, I'd love to see Oladukon step in there.

Transfer QB was named starter at Michigan and a walk-on FR was named the starter at Minnesota this season . . . it's common.

DEPTH !

Go BULLS !!!
