I was talking to Bull-By-Marriage about this the other day. A big mistake made by the coaches was taking away BJs only competition at the position. While we needed the numbers at WR, we could have had a QB competition every year with Landi as the number 2 guy. It would have been a fun 3 years of the two of them competing.

Taking away? Do you guys still not realize that he was going to Nebraska anyway? Carnes just wanted USF in his back pocket in case Nebraska didn't come through. USF coaches didn't want to be used. Wake up a smell the coffee.

The competition that I was referencing was Landi.

The thread is about Carnes. But as much as we love the guy, Landi wasn't competition for Daniels at the QB spot. The fact that a true freshman walk on was appointed the #2 QB should be clue enough.

I believe the dearth of talent at wide receiver forced Landi to the outside. He was willing and he was a body. I don't think our record over the past few years would be substantially different with him at QB.

Landi was only a QB out of necessity, because Leavitt decided not to recruit any.

See, that's ironic in this thread because Leavitt recruited Carnes. Skip couldn't keep him, but as I remember it, he was fully committed to Leavitt.

Also, BJ was the number 8 dual threat recruit in the country. So... yeah... the whole 'Leavitt didn't recruit any QBs' argument has more holes in it than our secondary on 3rd down and long.

LOLOLOLOL

Carnes wasn't fully committed to Leavitt. Nebraska had other QB recruits. When those fell through they went after Carnes late and turned him. Carnes dropped USF, not Holtz.

Revisionist history never takes a rest.

How many scholarship QBs were on the roster when Holtz took over? You can even count Carnes, and the answer would be TWO. Tell me again how Leavitt had stocked up on QBs.

And where is the long line of Leavitt recruits at QB? Ronnie Banks? Pat Julmiste? Grothe was the fifth option after the other "prize" recruits flamed out. Pure luck.

Blackwell was OK. Guess what, he was a pocket passer and our offense was tailored to him. Grothe was a runner and our offense was tailored to him... one head coach... 2 different offenses... it must have been magic.
