Caught a news note. Don't have an immediate link. I will track one down in a bit.
Edit: The poll is amusing given this news

Wow, that's interesting if true.
I guess the Beavers Edge guys were way off about McCoy

Probably a little better fit for the offense than Ben.
I wonder if this is a solid endorsement or Gundy will have a quick trigger on pulling him if there's trouble?

They call him a dual threat QB on Beavers Edge, but he didn't run a lot at Idaho, and his career rushing avg is a paltry 1.7 yards!

I mean, given he started the last two years, at Idaho, if I had to make odds last January, I'd of made him the favorite. But given how you heard basically nothing about him all year, I am surprised.
Gimmie some of his 2022 stats. Hot damn.

Wow. He looked like a hot mess in the spring game. And all the buzz this fall has been about Ben and Johnson.
I'm finding it hard to get excited about this; my gut reaction is ho-hum, and continued pessimism. At least with Ben, I could look forward to a team leader with experience, and with Johnson, I could look forward to some electric plays on the field.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what McCoy gives us...

Well, he gave Idaho this, so I'm a bit more optimistic: 2022 Jerry Rice Award Winner 2022 Big Sky Freshman of the Year 2022 Hero Sports All-American 2022 Big Sky All-Conference Third Team 2023 Walter Payton Award Finalist 2023 The Bluebloods Preseason Big Sky All-Conference First Team Offense 2023 Big SkyAll-Conference First Team |

I guess we'll have to wait and see what McCoy gives us... He was a literal monster at Idaho. Put the team on his back. he had a monster 2022 season completing 68% of his passes for 2700 yards 27 TDs and 7 ints. 2023 wasn't quite as good, same general accuracy and yardage, but TDs took a big dive. Largely because it appears in Idaho they pulled the same think Smith did with DJU and Chiles. The back up came in for a few series every game and sniped about 8 TDs from McCoy that weren't there in 2022 when he basically never entered the game. He played in 8 of the games in 2023. Brave new world trying to keep everyone happy in the NIL era... |

We should fry our first opponent regardless of who is qb. If we have to pull him this will be a long season

Beavers Edge made the point that he needed to transition from FCS, to FBS level. He definitely has the accolades from FCS level

Brave new world trying to keep everyone happy in the NIL era... So, the thing that would give me some concern is why bring in a backup if McCoy has the credentials from the previous year? Why would the backup even see a series? Either the staff felt McCoy wasn't 100%, or the backup had a higher upside, or the coaches were just idiots. |
