My brother's kid and Aaron's kid are friends and Aaron likes his QB room. Outside of the QB position Aaron thinks they will be better than last year. I like the confidence...the schedule may not allow it to show though.

Per Aaron Roderick this year has the dudes to be better than last year.

I don';t think there is any doubt they are better

Just interesting coming straight from the horses mouth. I'm REALLY curious

OL likely won't be as good IMO

JoeExotic

8/2/21 8:54pm

My comment was about the offense; OL may have some issues

TomPetty

8/3/21 5:01am

So OL isn't part of the offense in your book? Curious viewpoint indeed.

CougarThug

I said OL MAY have issues, but I think O is clearly better

"Outside of the QB position" is a significant caveat considering it's the most important position on the field and the

He did say that they didn't expect last year to play out the way it did...Zach

Maybe we could have gotten $30M in hashimitos NIL to stick around

Great quarterbacks can adjust to any style of football

I think we forget that had Jaren Hall not been injured we would have seen a full

Punk Philosopher

8/2/21 7:44pm

I don't think we know anything about the QB situation we're in. Hall hasn't been able to stay healthy more than a game

8/2/21 7:49pm

I think given the relative QB situation inherent to college football, we are

Punk Philosopher

8/2/21 8:02pm

Key word “they” we know Hall and Romney can win games, we also know Connover

I think if Zach Wilson is the barometer of a high level QB, we are in pretty

Punk Philosopher

Zach last season was infinitely better than Zach the season he was injured

JoeExotic

8/3/21 9:18am

I remember there was plenty of controversy when Zach was named the starter

Punk Philosopher

8/3/21 9:31am

W/L record may not have been much different, but Zach had a generationally special season.

Oh I absolutely acknowledge (and have acknowledged) ZW in 2020 was spectacular

Punk Philosopher

8/3/21 10:02am

Sorry a little off topic but do you remember when we went to a BYU BB game

Punk Philosopher

8/3/21 10:06am

There was a LOT of separation between ZW and everyone else. The only people

Thrill

I have my doubts about the OL being better

8/2/21 5:30pm

Can pretty much count on at least one OL injury, unfortunately

The guy from Snow is an important addition

LifeLongLakerFan

Who was this? I don't recall an xfr from snow

Cade Parrish-4 to play 3-committed to UofA& had 2 P5 & 5 G5 offers. 6'5" 285

wickedgame71

8/3/21 10:47am

Those are two different things. The OL can be as good or better, but obviously

Lip Gallagher

8/2/21 5:43pm

Agreed. SOS will make it tough to lose fewer than 3 or 4 games.

wickedgame71

8/2/21 5:30pm

I think SOS and defensively we lost some studs. I think Tonga/Kaufusi/Anderson

8/2/21 5:36pm

You think LB is going to struggle in any way? And Zayne? He hurt us more than

Lip Gallagher

8/2/21 6:14pm

But we add back in Ah You, Mahe and Fauatea, 3 real studs…

icecougar

8/3/21 4:19am

Anderson is the only one I’m worried about

Pretorian

8/3/21 6:08am

He was bad.

Lip Gallagher

8/3/21 9:08am

There's a reason that QB is the most important position in sports

CaliWG

8/2/21 5:31pm

I keep hoping for a Tee Martin type year from one of our QBs

Skipshot

8/2/21 5:41pm

We already got ours, it was Robbie Bosco

CaliWG

8/2/21 5:43pm

All hinges on the OL

Coug

^^^^^ my belief every year

Pretorian

8/3/21 6:08am

Couldn't agree more. We will know after the Utah game how good they are.

wilsdad

8/3/21 6:31am

Hard to believe O-line could be better, but that would be great

Tuskaloosa Cougar

8/2/21 6:09pm

I’m not saying he’s lying but what else would he say?

NotTokolosh

8/2/21 7:24pm

There are a lot of things you can say without saying you think we'll be better.

There is just a different feeling in the air this year.

Schedule is the metric that counts.

I have to assume this is atleast in part coach speak

Kids are in middle school but this was Aaron directly to my brother. This wasn't

Guys are flying around the field, I'm told.

Real Men Wear Blue

I'm sticking with my prediction of 8 wins.

Forzaitalia

8 wins w/ or w/o bowl game?

Without.
