Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Devo182]

I saw an asinine poll in the FF asking if the quarterback success under Heupel has been because of him or because of the talent of the quarterbacks. And almost half of the people really think that Heupel is just getting lucky with his QBs. I get that these guys have all been really talented, but it takes a great coach to squeeze every ounce of potential out of his QBs the way Heupel has. Just a reminder that....

Heupel's QBs have been:
-A benched Virginia tech QB
-A guy who throws the ball 70 yards when you need 10
-An overrated 7 on 7 QB who can't process a second read when he's not wearing pajamas
-An App State QB with a turnover problem who was 3000 miles away during spring practice.

Josh Heupel has coached those guys to a combined:

66% completion rating
97 Touchdowns
19 interceptions
39-16 record while building a team from the ground up and dealing with harsh recruiting restrictions.
Oh and by the way, this is all during the most talented-rich era of the SEC

It's Heupel's system. It's always been Heupel's system but it's also his coaching. He can scheme guys open all day long, but he also knows what it's like to play championship level football at the quarterback position. I can't think of many, if any other coaches who can really say that. He has been exactly where those guys have been and he knows what to say to them when they have questions. He's a true QB whisperer and people are finally starting to take notice again.

To say that Heupel has "gotten lucky" with his quarterback talent and play on the field is honestly an insult to the dedication that man has put into this job. Keep questioning him. People questioned his OL and WR this offseason. Look at us now.

I think any good FF'er can agree that Hooker was on a damn near Heisman run at VT and Aguilar the same at App St before Hype got ahold of them and sunk their careers

I suspect he will defer. He usually does. He likes having the ability to drive and run out the clock to end the half and get the ball immediately back. Doesn't always work out, but it's the idea.

100%. He loves to crush it in Q1 and win the "middle 8". Crucial.

Cantlay on fire down the stretch and then shanked it on 18 with a wedge in hand? Yeesh.

"On fire down the stretch" meaning after he missed the 3.5 foot putt and numerous other birdie putts, he managed to finally make 1 birdie putt?

I was on a cane. I was just fortunate they left Neyland unlocked.

I don't remember the pretzel, I remember about 6 little pieces of lettuce and ranch dressing.

Understood, but that's perfect cover. Plus you can hide a lot in a cane with a hollow space. May I suggest....

Yeah the 3.5 footer cost them the whole point. However he was clutch on multiple holes on back 9. They would have been toasted without him, because Burns wasn’t much help.

Yeah, I think we go further back, but since that was a film era, pics are limited. Fossils unite!
