The gave CL two plays when we had third and goal from the one.
How did that work out?
I believe that if TO had all four plays we score from there.

Today's Presser - Comments on QB By Mehringer
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Would have been a perfect time for Rettig at the goal line. Much higher ceiling would have given the offense more room to move.
Should've had Sanu in there. He could've snapped the ball to himself, dropped back and faked the hand-off to himself, faked the run and then passed to himself for a jump ball in the back corner of the end-zone. No way he doesn't score.
Brian Leonard should have been in there. He would have leapt the defense in a single bound. He wouldn't have even been touched, because you don't tug on Superman's cape.
Allows him to throw the ball higher up into the air.
Should have ran the ole infield fly rule play. They def would not have expected it.

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see CL and TO on the field at the same time this Saturday. We're gonna need trick plays to score
Save those plays. There are games on the schedule we have the potential to win with some creativity out there.
Not to mention that OSU is crushing opposing teams. Might not be ideal to expose the wee lad, Oden, to the sorts of hits he would likely encounter in that game until he's had a full year of D1 S&C.
I'd hold him back until we get to more winnable games. OTOH, if we're still in it in the fourth quarter against anybody, and if Oden is ready to start throwing the ball, then put his ass in there.
Knight Shift---Your continued derision of Rettig (as well as attempts to cut off all discussion of whether he should play) needs a rest. By all accounts the kid is supporting his teammates and should be supported. Sure his play can be commented on, but that he has high potential or ceiling when he is not playing and not in the apparent rotation---seems like in the thousand or so posts you have a day that should be put aside. We clearly get that you support the current qb situation and did so last year. Rettig I imagine is not enjoying not getting a shot. No need to deride any unfulfilled promise.
Pot meet kettle on you and Laviano. "Continued derision of Rettig" is laughable. The comment was poking fun at the folks that would not give the "higher ceiling" crap a rest. While in longer passing situations, it fairly well-accepted Rettig has the strongest and most accurate arm on the team, but that inapplicable on goal line offense, and was just having a little fun with the silly "higher ceiling" comment. Find a post where I "derided" Rettig. Lighten up, Francis.
I am behind the current coaches' choices on ALL positions, and despise the continued (and endless) derision by you and others of anybody's play. Got it?

Knight Shift--Again accusing those of your actions. You have lobbied for Laviano over Retting all of last year and this year. C'mon let's be real.
As for the qb, yes I would like to see Oden, Retting or another qb. Yes I don't think CL gives the best chance for success. You won't find however where I have derided any player or in fact called for any changes at other positions. In fact have routinely credited the db's and rb's in particular and believe the staff is quite the step up by and large.
Your self professed mantra would be that no discussion of positions or changes by the staff is appropriate. .You are " behind the current coaches' choices on ALL positions, and despise the continued (and endless) derision by you and others of anybody's play. " In that case, not much for you to discuss. Your self appointed defender of the staff position (and attempts to stifle discussion you determine to be anti certain players or staff) has grown old long ago. You'll just have to accept that people watch the game's and will always consider if a different play or player would have worked.
As for the issue of strongest arm, if that is stipulate, wouldn't there be a time we may need a downfield throwing qb when facing a deficit that running wont do the trick? Even if in combination with a running qb?

Have done no lobbying, sir, or stifling of discussion. Just having a little fun with the folks who think they know better than two coaching staffs. I will not pretend to know more than the current coaching staff, but if you guys want to continue to debate it, have at it, but others will debate your debate, unless you, who think you are holier than thou, above being debated on your expert opinion. You see, the door swings both ways? You open it, and someone will step in and try to push it the other way. Aren't you stifling discussion by the very nature of your attack on my posting? You want insults and complaints about the starting QB to go unchallenged or not debated? Who is being naive, Kay?
I am quite comfortable that Ash and Mehringer have a plan in place that once they determine someone can do better, they will move someone else to start. Could they do that know and be pleasantly surprised--perhaps, but again, in Ash I trust. If you don't like my posts, just put me on ignore. I won't care. I have been close to putting your whiny self there for a long time. I mean no disrespect. Just have a different way of viewing things and expressing my thoughts than continually beating a dead horse over the QB situation. Peace to you.

Paul Robeson should have been in there, he would have run right past them, and in for the score
Laviano isn't a good pro style QB so why would you tailor the offense to his skills.
You even aware of all you are posting? "No disrespect" -right after a personal insult?
You were actually starting to talk logical there for a second and noting how people could disagree on the current status and that the staff may actually have a plan to have Oden in by game ___, which is not a far off proposition. Then you had to resort to personal insults. You should be better than that with all your posting here in the last 5 years..
