Chizik's looking for one QB.

I would think the qb who makes fewest mistakes would have the best chance under Gene. He does not like miscues.

I hate to sidetrack here, but can we assume that JJ Bass is history since Scales didn't mention him as competing at RB?

Anybody think they will use some plays from the A11 offense so both QB's can be on the field. I see some college teams used it last year. Maybe we should give it a try.

I think that man is AA. That is not to say Bates will be mistake-prone, so Bates fans - chill for a sec. There are 2 reasons I think AA would be the more steady QB, at least to start out.

- AA played QB last season.
- Bates' style is supposedly a little more improv.

This A11 thing is like the new pink.

No, I doubt we'll see it. Biggest reason (other than I don't see it being a successful offense in collage and namely in the Big 12) is we don't have the horses for it. Sure, we have 2 QBs that are supposedly pretty good.

But all out speed at receiver? Not there yet.

And ya gotta have a very athletic offensive line - not sure we're there on that either.

Here's a link to the A11 Offense: Welcome To The Online Home Of The New A-11 Offense I don't know alot but the formations look sweet. I'm in favor of junk offenses and defenses when you've got less talent then a majority of teams you're going to be facing.

He currently is not "on the team." Rumors are that once grades come out from summer classes that he will be reinstated. I am assuming Scales was instructed beforehand to not mention JJ because he is not currently "on the team."

I hope that is the case, IMO we need all the RB's we can get.

So they are selling it at Victoria's Secret? I think it would be fun for the team and fans if they would do it for 1 play against Kent St or SDSU in the first quarter or something.

So when referring to the A11, one might say 'That's hot.'?
