If our OL can protect for the entire length of that play, then I'd say we'll have no problem winning 8 games this year!

I don't to I told you so ,but 2 weeks ago, I predicted both qb's playing into the season if they they couldn't separate themselves. I think it the only way to keep them both motivated and on the team. I would still love to see Bates out wide and running reverses and passes off reverses.

One guy will be playing by the Iowa game.

I think both will play a lot together longer as both bring different things to the table. AA certainly needs to improve his scramble ability. What happens when Oklahoma puts the big rush on? This year may be a dual qb year despite what most people want.

Did you not see his running ability against KSU? I am fine with whoever is the main guy this year as long as it's best for the team and I think Chizik is giving us that in every position. Don't go knocking the starting QB before he hits the turf. And sorry, this isn't solely directed at you, but I've seen a lot of remarks to the affect that Arnaud isn't the right choice. Clearly for now, according to Chizik he is.

I have a feeling we might well see a 400 ypg offense this season. Plenty of room for all.

I hope we "solve" this QB thing not to long after the SDSU game cause I don't like the 2 qb's going into the big 12's...

I totally disagree. There are plenty of very successful schools that use multiple QBs because they have many talented players. Just look at Florida a couple of years ago...they used both Chris Leak and Tim Tebow and they won a National Championship. LSU (last year's National Champion) used two QBs quite a bit. Heck, for the last couple of years Arkansas used Darren McFadden at QB in a single wing type of offense which made teams have to prepare for another look. It's all about getting your best players on the field and putting them in positions to make plays...really pretty simple.
