[mgfan]

I have heard UNT may be using a dual quarterback system. I am interested to see if Mason Fine will be seeing playing time. Thoughts.......

I've been hyping Mason Fine from the get go, but I sure don't want to see him unless he is ready and will excel. I don't want him to be ruined by playing too soon. That being said, I trust HCSL, and if he thinks he's ready, then I'm for it!!

What is that saying..."If you have two quarterbacks you don't have a quarterback."

Well we had 4 last year.......  I'm thinking the camp was too close to call. I'm with Doctor JJ, I would hate to see a Redshirt burned to have him sit later in the year. Is there certain number of plays or games you have to play for you to burn your redshirt? Or once you play it is gone?

For a standard redshirt, one play on the field and it's burned.

It is pretty much impossible to have your starting QB in every game start to finish even on the the healthiest of years.  By naming Fine the number 2 I fully believe that Litrell plans on burning his redshirt.  Don’t be surprised if he is put in for reps in the event of a blowout.

I wouldn't mind him getting substantial back up minutes as we blow out our many opponents.

I thought Littrell was pretty clear on this at the radio show, and seemed sincere.  He said that his preference would be to redshirt Fine, but "heaven forbid" if something happened to his #1 QB, he's sending in his 2nd best QB.

What I think is that SL believes he can recruit many more High Caliber QB's to come to UNT over his tenure here, and does not have to worry about red shirting any of them.  Fine will play this year, and have an opportunity to start for 3 years, but will have to win the job against, what I hope to be a constant flow of competitive QB's coming into our system....  This is what I am hoping for....

Mason Fine is a true freshman, right?  I'm quite certain that Littrell has made his feelings about playing true freshman quarterbacks clear.  

 

I'm...wait for it...Fine if he redshirts.

I think we will see Fine if it is in a competitive game situation and Morris goes down but we will see O'Hara if it is blowout mop-up duty.

[Aldo]

With the assumption that we'd be bringing in average to above average talent at QB:

If we burn Fine's redshirt, that gives us wiggle room with Pearson's redshirt, and any other subsequent QB recruits. That would allow Pearson to wait until he's a RS So/Jr to start. That pleases me. 

This would also create a steady stream of stability for the QB position. Sacrifice a redshirt now so we can pile them on later.

Don't forget about Vito's arch nemesis.

Ideally, he would already have seen some game snaps before going in at a crucial situation.  If he is the clear #2, the odds of him being able to keep his redshirt are clse to nil.  You want to try to work him in for occasional snaps in low pressure situations to better prepare him for when he is needed to help win a game.

If he is truly good enough to play now, no need for the redshirt. I would think you would want the redshirt if he wasn't good enough to play right now.
