ANYTHING SPRING FOOTBALL!!

Chip Brown notes from Today Press Conference with Sterlin Gilbert:

What does it take to be successful as a QB in this offense?

"Gotta be intelligent and be accurate with the ball."

On striking the balance of reps by the offense vs what the defense needs in terms of on-field coaching:

"Charlie's been great. It's no different from the amount of reps everywhere I've been."

Is there a QB on campus who can run the offense?

"Yeah. One of these three guys can and will."

Is it possible Kai Locksley moves to another position?

"Maybe. It's still probably early for that."

What he likes about Shane Buechele:

"Headsy, live arm, carries himself well, high football IQ, urgent about what he does and how he does it. But he's got a lot of room for growth."

What he likes about Tyrone Swoopes:

"He's big, got experience, live arm, he cares. He's made plays before."

What he likes about Jerrod Heard:

"Speed, experience. He's a winner. He's won a lot of games in high school and in college already. Spins the ball well."

On if he's hesitant to play a freshman at QB:

"You play the best guy. I've been around where we've played a young guy and have been successful. But you play the best guy."

Pull your hat down, Sterlin!

6:22 mark…

Q: When you started here, did you try and go back and watch a lot of this team from last year [Gilbert shakes head “No.â€] or did you give them a clean slate?

A: Nope – clean slated ‘em all. And I’ve not done that anywhere I’ve ever been. And I told those guys that were here, “Don’t tell me anything negative or bad about these guys ‘cuz I want those guys to, you know, have a clean slate with me. When I got here, that’s what I told them: “You got a clean slate. You’ve got an opportunity if you’re not a starter, if you’ve not done something right, you know; or even if you’ve done it all right, it’s still a clean slate.â€

Not good news for our QB position, IMHO. This explains why Gilbert is favoring Swoopes – ‘cuz he looks good in practice minus pressure. Before Gilbert makes his final decision for the starter, he needs to view past game videos juxtaposed with practice videos.

12:40 mark…

Q: Tyrone’s had his ups and downs since he’s been here – I’m sure you’ve seen the film. He’s one of these guys who looks good in practice but sometimes has trouble in games. How do you differentiate to know like what this guy does in practice is going to translate when the lights are on?

A: You know, that’s a good question. And, um, sometimes you don’t know what guys are going to do until those lights come on. And, um, you know, it just goes back to… some of that we won’t know until we get out there against notre dame.

That sounds like Buechele. I read that Burton said that we will look for a grad transfer QB.
Per Higs:

"Right now things are going great for Shane...He and Swoopes are ahead of Heard imo without question...Heard getting a love tap today and getting injured won't help his cause I don't think....."
