Wow, his career stats are, if you can believe this, even worse than the three quarterbacks that North Texas started this past season.

[GMG24]

Yes, same competition level. Very good observation.

[UNT90]

Very good add for Craphole. Too bad they didn't add him last year when he could have made a difference. He will be running for his life all year this year.

Michigan is a name, but not much of a team lately.

Decent offer list for a 3 star.

He was my high school quarterback, and I was the center our senior year.

That is a good pickup for them and I am confident he will start there this year. He definitely would've been an upgrade for us over anything we have, outside of maybe Damarcus Smith, if he can get eligible. And that's a big if. But, with 6 scholarship QBs and a full class, we didn't exactly have any room available. There was contact.

I seem to remember Mccarney saying he didn't want to have any more than 4 scholarship QBs on our roster each year. But we've signed 6 QBs the last 3 classes, including JUCO QBs in each of the past 3 classes.

Part of me thinks Coker will figure something out and make them competitive despite the huge losses.

[NM Green]

Agreed. UTSA will rebound. We will beat the dirtybirds one day! GMG

Can you elaborate on this? I thought it was just one class holding him up.

We know there's one team he doesn't have to spend any time figuring out.

He couldn't figure out how to replace one player last year.

[FirefightnRick]

He couldn't figure out how to replace one player last year.

...except against the one team that matters most.

...except against the one team that matters most.

We were such a mess last year I don't count it.

[greenminer]

The last 2 years in San Antonio have revealed:

1) A successful team with a senior QB and a junior squad around him.

2) An unsuccessful, senior-laden team with an inexperienced QB.

Coker's record against DMac aside, for the sake of discussion will someone elaborate on their entire 2015 QB situation?

If you're going to play that card....

We could be a mess every year.

If you are familiar with UNT's 2014 QB situation, you are familiar with Craphole's.

You're very right.

Unfortunately, UTSA's version of McNulty happened to have a career day against UNT last year.

And, imagine if Dajon had 2 nice games and then was lost for the year to injury... That's Bogenshultz, Goree's & Rutherford's HS QB @ Carthage.

[greenminer]

A big part of our problem against UTSA has been the DB coverage vs. their offense.

With the recent turnover in our defensive staff, it'll be interesting to see how/if that evolves.

BTW, did UTSA have any staff turnover?

[GOMG2013]

You're very right.

Mcnulty had his best game against UTSA too. 287 pass 1 td, 36 rush 1 td, no ints, no sacks. Wilson also rushed for 100. UTSA was horrible and will be worse next year.

So if they were horrible, what did that make us?

[UTSA Fan]

Austin will be a Sophomore but Coker wants him at WR. Blake is easily the most talented Q.B. to date and will start. The Michigan transfer presumably will be in the mix Q.B.2 but wouldn't be in SA till the fall. 2015 Harris and Henderson look solid but word is they will red shirt with the first three mentioned. U.T.S.A Q.B. position was a disaster last year finishing with Q.B. 4 on the field due to O.L. and R.B. injuries killing protection. The new O.L. coach has 14 years successful S.E.C. experience and this is the first class of F.B.S. talent on the line. Hope that helps.

I think we ALL know the answer to that question.
