Gotta give Ale a try.
Neither of the other his are QBs. Chris could be a heck of a RB.
Ale is the only one who looks like a QB

I think most of the players on this roster aside from maybe the defensive side, cant wait to explore transfer options, and it shows on the field. Sad state of affairs.

They are just not going to play Ale. Who really knows why but it isn’t happening. I don’t get why they played him vs UNLV and never again

There was another thread a while back that said Ale was sitting down the rest of the year and planning to transfer

Willy seemed irritated at the question, kudos to Duarte for asking !

No we hate Duarte when he does things. We only like Chris Baldwin and the happy feelings he supplies.

Chris Baldwin with the hard questions: Coach Fritz your team seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train, can you explain for everyone how you had Iowa State right we here you wanted them?

Ok Im about third and long on Fritz right now. The welcome has been worn out. I never expected a bunch of W’s but this is abysmal. IDC if a the only player we had last year to this year was DS, things shouldnt look this bad. We also shouldnt be talking about ‘QB batles,’ “searching and looking,” one 1st string TD in 16 Qtrs, 1st string completely shut out in THREE games, a double bagel! 
 halfway through the season!!

My pitchfork has made its way out the shed. Not a whole lot of blundering left for me to be standing outside the athletics office with it

Just cycle through all the QBs until one sticks

That really is the smart move. 8 straight quarters with no TD
none passing, none rushing.
Give each guy three series. If he scores, keep him in for another.

We aren’t doing that guys. We are simplifying the play book and rotating Smith and Chriss.

Wasn’t Chriss hurt in the UNLV game?

Miss. St. was probably offering to rent a U-Haul and pack his bags when Fritz called.

Yes

Smith didn’t see that wide open TE in the middle of the end zone. Ale hit that TE in stride in the spring game for a TD.

Not sure how Smith goes away from that read to throwing an interception.

He was getting (shoulder) injections and was listed as questionable IIRC

It’s because he’s bad at his job.

Except he let CWF off the hook by not following up such a dumb non answer.

Something smells relative to Ale.

CWF needs do his searching and follow-ups on how incompetent his OC is !!
