Did WKU reach a bowl this year?

Yes.

 

[3rd_and_Jancek]

Dobbs will be fine.

Is that based on intuition or wishful thinking?

 

[LotteryPick]

Would love to see that but just don't see it. He looked absolutely horrible at times and even when he did something good, I never thought to myself, this is our future at QB.

He was a non-EE, true freshman, thrown to the wolves.

That's not the greatest combination.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Hopefully good coaching.

 

[3rd_and_Jancek]

Hopefully good coaching.

So we're going on hope. Ok. I hope you're right.

I agree. But we are putrid until proven otherwise. We should win, but we can't take anything for granted at this point.

Putrid is a strong word to use about a team who beat the top ten ranked South Carolina Gamecocks...but your point is well taken...just a bit over the top!

I dont care what WR were out there. His passes were poor and his arm looked weak. Also when he ran, he looked like he was running about a 4.9 40. Lets stop the excuses. Alot of non EE true freshmen have looked much better than Dobbs did. Can he improve? Yes, but I don't expect him to look like a totally different QB.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

So we're going on hope. Ok. I hope you're right.

At least we will find out if the staff can develop players or not at this level. No crystal balls to look through here, so hope is the alternative.

FWIW, he outran the entire KY defense for a TD.

Key word, Kentucky.

I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop players and if the on field coaching improves.

Yeah, Kentucky is a great measuring stick for speed. Lol

So did a server at Dennys.

Key words FWIW. Either way, the QB suiting up next year for UT is going to be Dobbs or Ferguson. We have to make the best of it.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Agreed. CMB better have more than 5 offensive plays as well.

Liked. :rock:

I've been a Ferguson fan since he committed. He has an elite arm over any other QB on the roster. I'm all for Riley being the starter. Can't wait for spring!

 

[supersmo18]

I'm going to go out on a very sturdy limb and say that Sophomore Dobbs will be unrecognizable compared to Freshman Dobbs.

v2.0 > v1.0

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

NIU wouldn't be ranked if they played in a real conference. I wouldn't put too much stock in that win

I don't totally disagree but I follow NIU living here in northerm IL. They are a darn good team and would have handled us this year, esp. with Lynch at QB.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I am hoping he is the next coming of something special.

My boss at work has told me many times that hope is not a strategy.

Agree with this. Plus he has the ability to throw on the run, which may be required playing behind a first year offensive line.

Your boss is not a VN member.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I have a feeling the O line is going to surprise a lot of folks this year and be decent by SEC standards.
