When I get a nibble, I reel that sucker all the way in and line her up with my other fish before deciding whether to throw her back.
Red shirt Heard. Hold a battle royal between Ash, Swoopes and Kohlhausen for the 2014 QB job. In 2015, Heard will be ready to fight for the job.
For 2014 (with limited knowledge of Kohlhausen), I'd probably rank them:
1. Ash (caveat is that we're still a bit worried about the head)
2. Kohlhausen
3. Swoopes
None of these is a slam dunk so I think you need to keep an open mind. And if there's some combination of Heard showing brilliance in practice and the other three stinking it up, you may still need to burn Heard's red shirt.
In any case, this sounds a whole hell of a lot better than the start of last season where we had:
1. Ash, head and shoulders above Case and Tyrone (soon to be concussed)
2. Case, who in his senior year was barely hanging on to the #2 spot
3. Swoopes, who had one good series in the Orange and White game, but was an obvious red shirt unless something drastic happened (it did)
If we'd had a half decent walk-on last year we probably could have saved Swoopes' red shirt and won at least another games where Case was dying on the field, but Swoopes was just too raw.
