Andrew McNulty, Sr. (6-1, 209)

Quick hit: Andrew McNulty is most likely the leading candidate for the starting job as he was Thompson’s backup last season. In McNulty’s first career collegiate start as a true freshman against Tulsa in 2011, he completed 11 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. After redshirting the 2012 season due to injury, McNulty appeared in eight games as a backup last season, with his most notable performance against No. 9 Georgia, where he completed five passes for 36 yards.

McCarney’s Comments:

“McNulty has emerged in recent practices and scrimmages as the guy to beat our for that job. He is a student of the game. What you like in your quarterback position is every time you turn around, they are in here at their own time, not when they are asked or forced to. He is one of the best when it comes to that at that position.”

I remember seeing him fumble at least twice last year and throw an interception near the goal line against Idaho. I don't have a lot of faith in him but maybe he has improved over the summer. I can say i am less excited about the season if he is the 1st string qb.

That said, given that all practices are closed to media and fans we are all basing everything on hunches and guesses at this point.

I am fine either way they go, be it McNulty or Greer however - I do not want to see a two QB situation. You name one QB based on who you think can best win and give him some room for error in my opinion.

So...posted this in the other thread discussion on this article, but re-posting:

Reading down to the McCarney quotes on Greer: "He’s doing a pretty good job of leading, and it’s pretty safe to say he is one of the two players that will start against Texas"

Looks to me like we're going to be starting in a 2-QB set. Pretty innovative gameplan from Chico!

McNulty had a fumble in the Spring game but none during the season.

If Mac and the staff are still split between Greer and McNulty they need to go with who they think has the biggest upside. I'm not sure what "leadership" qualities McNulty has shown that Greer couldn't match. Through off-season weight training, spring ball, and fall practice Greer was getting the same amount of shoutouts for his work ethic and dedication.

I think Greer could really turn into a special player, especially when you consider the weapons he will have around him over the next 3 years.

It's Mini-Mac no matter what until he gets hurt... Then it'll be Mini-Mac as soon as he's healthy enough to run back out there. Anyone who thought otherwise was out of their mind.

God help us at Texas.

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.
