LOL, this isn’t the first time FB and I have done the back and forth...I would imagine there’ll be a few more haha
I can’t point to a time in all the 30 years of watching football where the 3rd or 4th string got anything other than a handoff or taking a knee.
That said, I think the idea of red shirting a QB just for the sake of doing so is a bit overrated. If the kid can play, and you think they cam play then put them in and let em go! Chances are, if they’re as good as you hope then they’re gone after their junior year anyway.
Donny Wiginton says hi
My math tells me 30 years ago was 1988. Did he have a kid I didn’t know about or something that came in as a 4th stringer slinging the rock around?

Donnie Wigginton is a former football player who started as quarterback for the Texas Longhorns in the early 1970s. Though a quarterback, he is best known for one single catch when, as a holder, he snagged a bad snap on the game winning extra-point in the so-called "Game of the Century" versus Arkansas. His hold, and the kick, were good and Texas went on to win the National Championship. He later became a football coach at rival Texas A&M.

Weevil, I was not disputing your math skills. I was just responding to your comment. Fact is, your point is well taken....3rd and 4th string havnt factored in much here. I was just looking back to the DKR heydays when we would build such a lead that our 3rd string guy often played the entire 4th quarter.
It hasnt happened to us, but was it K State last year that lost all their QB's and had to play most of the last half with a WR running the wildcat......and damned near beat us?
You posters ragging on Shane are horrible. He should have transferred if the fans can’t appreciate their own players. He just won the game coach weevil. Get over it and support your team. Whiners are losers!

And that was done out of necessity. Snyder didn't give early game reps, or even practice reps to the 3rd and 4th string because he thought he might have to play them via injury.
I never said don't recruit 4-5 quality QBs for your roster in case you lose a few. What I said was no coach anywhere at any level is giving significant reps to a 3rd and 4th string QB in a game or in practice...nor should they.
Can anyone stay on point in here? Good gracious.
WTF Weevel?...I said I agreed with you and you still didnt like it?
We have become a bunch of testy sumbitches around here. You see what 8 years of misery does? Finally off to our best start since 2009, and we're at each other's throats. Hate to meet you f*ckers at a bar right about now. Lol
Like I posted in the game thread. Losing has conditioned us to be negative.

'Calf, great post. That said, not sure where you live, but I'll gladly meet you somewhere for a drink one of these days.
MM, you're good people, but I have no interest in meeting people off the interwebs. Especially as much shit as I talk. Lol
he made fun of me
Thanks for the kinds words, Metcalf. I can hold my own in the shit talking category as well, lol.
Ass kisser!..lol! I know its hard for you young folk to put up with us oldfolk, but, if we did not have you young folk to keep us spirited then life would be dull for us, and if you didn't have us old folks to keep ya'll young asses straight it would dull too
Hook'em
Hmm, how old would you guess that I am, FB?
The best MOD in town, not kissing your ass by saying that young man!Good guess on the "tad more".
We lose that game without Buechele Saturday. No question about it. Yeah, he was understandably rusty as hell, and the
team was flat after OU, but he made the plays which had to
be made in the end.
True freshman comes in and we get our ass kicked bad. No
debating it.
