Thank you Zeb and Kyle for your service...
- Thread starter CyHans
- Start date
We are going to need Zeb and Kyle before this is over...I hope they keep getting to play some.
Do not underestimate how much having the Defense coaching staff prep for Zeb all week and then having that curve ball thrown at them.....Amongst the defensive play calling chaos called, it also makes the players lose faith in the coaches in a subtl/Belicheck/art of war way......All week they were scrimmaging to beat Zeb and apparently their coaches were wrong.
I would love to see constant switch ups on our qb's to mess with the opponent.

What this shows is how much depth has improved. I doubt we’ve seen the last of those two, but Purdy definitely made a big case for himself today.
Sure..true...but there is absolutely no way we mix up QB’s...Purdy is going to start next week and every week as long as he can..No way
We literally say this about every new QB
I bet if you dig back you can find similar threads for Barnett, Richardson, Jantz, Lanning, Kempt, and a couple others.
He looked great but we’ve seen one game wonders before.

I just can't wait to see how good Re-al is!!!

Remember when Zeb lit up OSU last year...
Glad they got the win and found a QB that can make the D at least think he is a threat on the play action. That being said watching the sidelines Zeb and Kempt were both very engaged with Purdy. Nice to see some depth building at QB.

You're not wrong but today wasn't just about playing well, the team looked different, playcallling was much more aggressive and they had the defense on their heels for the first time all year.
Purdy takes a lot of hits it seems. Hope it won't be the case but think we will be needing Zeb and/or Kyle at sometime again.
I was pondering this same thing. I don't claim to be an expert but I do wonder to what extent it helped with our upset of OU last year that they had no film on Kempt and now the same thing with Purdy. Good defensive coordinators will make adjustments but the kid looked great. If he does stay in the lineup for much of the rest of the season, I'm sure there will be hiccups. But, man, the kid's got tools and moxie.
the talent gap between Purdy and other QBs we’ve had here in the past ten or so years is vast. Say what you want about recruiting rankings, but it’s different when you beat A&M and Bama out for a QB vs having a walk on or a former Appalachian State commit.
Lol, I kept thinking the same thing. I started to ask myself whether I've been here too long now or what.
Yep, every QB that’s taken a snap going back to the post Arnaud era has looked like the future of the program and a world beater shortly before being benched for the next savior.
That being said what impressed me the most was that he did this without the benefit of being able to lean on Montgomery. A true zone/read package with Montgomery makes me go from 6 to midnight.
We gotta remember that a lot of these new QBs have looked good until they got banged up. I’m thinking Richardson especially.
Purdy is a better prospect for sure, but all three have looked good when the play calling is more than hoping the OL dominates or WR break tackles
