Going back in time to see what recruiters thought about TT. Here is an article where his coach talks about the not using laces. The quote is by his high school coach Kyle Biggs

Tompkins doesn't look like your traditional quarterback. He doesn't throw like one, either. Unlike 99.9% of QB's, he doesn't even grip the ball by the laces.

“We have fought that forever," says Tod. "I don't get it. Every coach doesn't get it. You know, like, ‘you don't use the laces? How do you throw the ball?’”

Biggs, a former star high school quarterback himself, adds,“It's weird. It's just weird, like, I've never seen it. I can't explain it. I mean you do it in short yardage stuff and you know you can get away with throwing a hitch or a slant. But you know he's putting 15 yard dig routes on the line with no laces and it's just...I can’t explain it.”

This year we have more depth than usual because of the COVID extra year of eligibility, but it is very anomalous that we’ve seen virtually nothing of our 2021 high school recruits.

. JM game vs Weber would have been a different game without the crazy play by the Weber quarterback handing the ball off to the turf. They are solid everywhere but don’t blow you away with eye popping talent. I think they might be easier to beat than Eastern WA.
I think the biggest improvement needed is in defense. We are a bend but not break kind of defense, we have to evolve that to less bend. The style we played in the last quarter against Idaho with more pressure is the direction to go.

Today’s press conference was interesting. Had the inside linebacker coach on. I’ve been wondering how they can divide up a position and have an inside linebacker coach and an outside linebacker coach, and a position called Rush which has Dl and LB members in the depth chart.
alot of the players at middle linebacker play weak side linebacker also, and you can tell that Sharetg, Buchanan, Hansen, Smalley Mouisett,and others are his room . My guess is that inside linebacker coach coaches the Mike and Will linebackers and outside linebacker coach coaches the SAM and maybe the Rush position,

Not only was Rodrigues suited up for the Idaho game he was jumping and chest bumping with other players at halftime. So I’d be surprised if he’s not starting

Thanks guys for the streaming radio help.
Amazon Alexa uses Tunein, and I can play other radio stations by just saying Alexa play whatever, but while it knows KHTK is KHTK 1140, it’s been unavailable each time I try it. I could listen on my iPad or phone but better speakers are paired with the Echo dot.

The last few weeks KHTK isn’t available when I ask an Amazon device to stream it during what should be the pregame show. Need a special app or something? It worked before.

That’s a real gotcha!

it’s easy to imagine someone new being worse.
Color guy should be someone who is a player or coach, and he should be allowed to correct Scott.

What’s the expectation when you are playing the backup QB and you’re without your two regular running backs?

And a little help from his friend
Edit I didn’t note the plural on freshmen QBs

What is the methodology for Athlons rankings?
Comparative scores wasn’t kind to us this week because Tulsa underperformed.
San Diego played a nobody and won narrowly, and we were way under the spread.

I wasn’t saying we’re not improved over Tucker’s teams. But still room for improvement. I’ve never heard what Matt Coombs thoughts are. Whatever his philosophy, no complaints on the results.
However from a fans perspective it seems like our receivers have a tougher time getting open than the other teams. Weber defenders seem to play right at the limit of pass interference, and we don’t seem to challenge receivers to the same degree. We turn things up in spots though.

Regarding unsportsmanlike penalty after TD call, how can players risk doing choreographed skits when the rule prohibits:
“Any delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act by which a player (or players) attempts to focus attention upon himself (or themselves).”

Leaving aside the wisdom or stupidity of the rule, it’s pretty clear.

The first Borisch touchdown play is a bad call for the ages. After all our plays with TT, and knowing that Idaho has a similar player, Marsh doesn’t take note of either Borisch’s presence in the backfield, or his movement before the snap to the quarterback position.or him carrying the ball despite his flowing locks. Then he doesn’t pick up that it’s a touchdown.

I know, but does our points against success mask opportunities to be better? The Idaho pass receivers said they like playing us because we’re almost all man. Maybe we need to mix coverages up more? But anyway, it would be interesting to hear what the philosophy is. Robert Tucker always talked about being disruptive. It seems that that’s deemphasized. The stats don’t show that because of the five interceptions against Dixie.

Any normal media environment would have had a story about our new defensive coordinator and his philosophy before this season or last spring. . We’re now 11 games into his tenure. While it’s hard to quibble with the results, because we’re winning, we give up yards too willingly. It would be nice to hear what his philosophy is. Not much to go on from his past, because he’s a newbie.
I still wonder if Eaton should be back where he played before, which I think was strong side linebacker. The rush position seems to be where good linebackers go to disappear. He had one assisted tackle against Idaho.

Maybe they need a spotter if they don’t have one. No excuse for how many times they get players wrong. But the biggest drawback of the Dunning choice is that now you have two guys with Davis anecdotes but nothing for the other half of the audience.

I agree with these guys 100% on our broadcast announcers.
They are also right about their receivers, a lot of depth like us but their guys are bigger.
