I think the first thing is important. Not only was the defense tired, but there was zero real pressure on Williams in the 4th Q of a blowout.

Which is why you saw McNulty, not Williams, in there when DT went down earlier in the game.

For what it's worth, I hope we see DW as the #2 from now on, in any situation. In 6 plays, McNulty had a fumble snap that hit him in the hands and a pick. We know what we have there, and it isn't a FBS level QB. If anything happens to DT (God forbid), we should roll out a true freshman because he is the best we have.

And that is just plain scary.

No need to be scared. Dajon will be able to lead this team by the end of the season. All he needs is some experience. I would rather he is brought along slowly, but if he had to be thrown in the fire, he would be no worse than DT last year. He has the composure and that is something you can't teach.

I know there wasn't really pressure to win on Williams' shoulders and Idaho was more or less gassed out, but he looked sharp during his time on the field. It'll be interesting to see how the battle between Williams/Berglund/McNulty will go this offseason.

I think this battle will be done before it gets started from what I have heard.

I like what they did with DaJon, a great way to develop what looks to me to be an outstanding QB. Lots of time and little pressure in a real game, with fans noise and all.

Yup. Unless something major changes it'll be Dajon. It seems Berglund's window of opportunity closed and Mcnulty, who has actually had a chance to prove it on the field, just isn't a starting D1 qb.

What kind of students are DaJon Williams and even Brock Berglund?

What is presently a cupboard full of QB's can quickly disappear for various reasons in college football

One play during a season opening Clemson game a few years ago and Derek Thompson was out for the year.

Dajon looked great in the few minutes he played. As many say...he seems to have it. I'd still like to

see what Brock Berglund can do, also. .

Again, we cannot have enough QB's.

GMG!

Jim I don't know the answer to your question but I have read that Mac runs a tight ship and if I remember correctly over a 3.0 gpa for the football team. I think it is all time high..

      I agree with all this. How do we turn games into an "event"? Making the athletic program relevant to our own students, fans and area towns has to become more important. Winning helps, of course.

      I don't think Congress has the expertise or time to deal with organizing a sports entity. It will take an FBS membership conference to organize themselves, but will require court-approved binding contracts for athletes with work rules to abide by.

      Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?

      Same, plus soph QB Ken Smith, who replaced Washington when he got injured in 28-0 win over Houston in 1975 at Texas Stadium.

      The only truly fair solution would require Congress to get involved. The money is too large

      We won't cheat like SMU because we don't have their level of giving....and probably never will. The other reasons are that cheating is not in our DNA, and throwing money is not either (I'll skip the cultural history lesson here). It would be nice if we had a following like North Dakota or South Dakota, but they are pretty much the only show in town in those states. HOWEVER, as an FCS school, we had our first and second sell out at Fouts (in its original 20.5 capacity) against SFA and SMU.....which was SRO. We never did that in the Joe Greene/Steve Ramsey era. As an FCS school we traveled about 10K fans down to Texas in 1988. So what was the main difference? We were nationally ranked........and the person in charge of promotions was a devoted NT alum. Our football games are still not cultural events like all the other schools who have long standing traditions.....and who celebrate those traditions. OUR FOOTBALL GAMES CONTINUE TO BE CONTRACTED EVENTS. NONE OF THE NEW PARTICIPANTS COME AWAY FEELING A REAL CONNECTION.
