Agree completely, I for one hope that (if Rising is out) Barnes is the starter and Johnson only plays the occasional down in the Wildcat. The problem I saw with Johnson is either that he can’t throw well or the coaches don’t trust him to throw. That makes him one dimensional and stalls our offense.

There’s a Mammoth historical site maybe national monument in Waco that is pretty cool and worth checking out.

Looks like I should be able to make the game now. I’ll be flying solo but will be fun anyway. It’ll be hot but fun!

The problem is Johnson can’t throw. We won’t win anything if he can’t do that.

This is true, but will he really get that chance? He’ll have to do it in practice and personal training because he won’t get the opportunities in live games that he needs to improve. I’d absolutely love it if he did develop his arm though, he’d be so incredible leading this team with his arm and legs.

That’s crazy talk. NJ can’t throw. That’s more crucial than running for a QB.

I think you mean QB 3 and 4. Rose likely would have started if healthy.

He can’t throw. And incredible runner, but that makes us one dimensional. Barnes was the far better QB tonight.

Good for him! Hope he can make it stick on the Eagles and earn more playing time. He’s a dynamic player. would be great if he could work his way onto the 53 man roster permanently.

So you conveniently are ignoring the games Utah has played against FCS schools or G5 schools (even losing to SDSU) yet still had a great season.

Basing one’s assessment of a team on game one against a bad team is silly and we should all know better. USC didn’t open the playbook on O or D. They weren’t going to give anything anyway to later opponents. USC is far better than they looked yesterday and they still put up 50+ points.

I wonder if Nate Johnson is in a JJ type situation, where is an incredible athlete but QB may not be the right position for him?

I’m willing to give it a shot. Essentially, this will be the first major game Barnes starts (I think) where he gets the prep and reps ahead of time. Hopefully that gives him confidence and an edge.
