I don't think we see him again. I think he's done too, but would not be surprised if he gets another shot. They interviewed Coach T at halftime and he said Floyd was not making the right throws or reads. Based on his statements, I was shocked to see Floyd back in there to start the second half.

I don't think we see him again. entirely possible he alternates them by quarter or series. Did Taggart say something about that? If he didn't I think it would be very unlikely. Its just my opinion/prediction. pure speculation on my part Respectfully, I hope things don't turn out that way. This mornings Trib says CWT has not decided on a QB for MSU and that they will compete during the week. http://tbo.com/taggart-bulls-waited-for-bad-things-to-happen-20130903/ UNCERTAIN AT QB: Taggart said he expects to decide on a starting quarterback later this week as the Bulls prepare for Saturday afternoon’s game at Michigan State. Sophomore Matt Floyd, who was benched after opening the third quarter with his second interception, and senior Bobby Eveld, who threw two touchdowns in relief, will compete during practice.

We were behind by a huge amount. He still had better success than Floyd and seemed to handle pocket pressure better (ducked a few sacks, got rid of the ball). Some of that could have been the result of a prevent defense-- gotta admit I lost interest for some of that period and just kind of spaced out over the score. I would like to see the other guys get a shot in the FAU game (screw the redshirt-- full steam ahead for White if he is ready/better). Start Eveld against MSU--- if we start to get beatdown badly (down by 21plus late in the third)-- give Bench a shot. Let Floyd take a game off. Save White for FAU short of the ready/better scenario. If it took CWT as long as it did to name Floyd the starter-- they must be pretty close in overall ability/practice performance. 0 Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed very clear from the couch...in CWT we trust I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean he has to start him, but give him a chance to keep competing. same goes for everyone on the team-- never know when that guy is going to come back with a chip on his shoulder ready to show everyone what he is capable of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Floyd starts I'll start to have trust issues. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd's only completed passes were dump off passes to RBs or short passes to WRs. Nothing downfield. Eveld came in and looked much better. His throws were decisive and on point. He had a few bad drops and a TD called back. If Floyd is starting against MSU then I will be thoroughly disappointed in CWT. If CWT doesn't think Eveld is capable then put Bench in. Floyd has proved that he isn't going to cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bobby & Matt? Those two are so pedestrian that I don't think it changes how they game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
