Who starts at QB?

Is it me or was TM better than PS?

Maybe stone has better upside, but mordecai was certainly more effective. Stone just canΓÇÖt get over the backyard football mindset of playing Qb.

Is there some sort of undisclosed lingering health issue with Preston Stone?
If not, I got a real big problem with RL and his manufactured QB controversy.
HeΓÇÖs starting to look like a tcu plant like traitor Sonny was.

Wut? SMU is fortunate to have two high-quality potential starters who have both proven themselves as such. Coming into the season, prior performance plus the Navy injury meant Stone was 1 to Jennings' 1A. But the combo of OL issues and Stone not checking down means the situation is entirely different after BYU. How in the world did Lashlee "manufacture" this?

How would manufacturing a controversy benefit the head coach? I am not a head coach of anything, but I imagine that a D1 HC would always have plenty on his plate already and wouldn't need to create a reason to be second-guessed.

Insiders share that Dillion Gabriel was interested in finishing out at a handful of schools to include SMU - evidently, RL not interested as he wanted to stick with Stone & Jennings. That didn’t last long…

In the 3 games Jennings has started as, or principally plays as QB SMU has scored a total of four TDs, losing 2 of the games..

Boy, thatΓÇÖs some cherry-picking, with a kernel of truth. The cherry-picking is the quality of opponent, opponentΓÇÖs defense, and the conditions (on the road for a conference championship, on the road against a P5 team in a bowl in crap conditions). How many TDs and INTs did Stone have at TCU & OU? (IΓÇÖll save you the look: 1, and 3.)

I say this not to run down Stone, who I really like and who has a ton of heart, but to push back on you running down Jennings.

Back to the kernel: yeah, in his starts and against BYU Jennings moved the ball between the 20s but not in the red zone. To complete the comparison, Stone didnΓÇÖt move the ball (well, move it *forward*) against BYU at all.

I wasnΓÇÖt championing one QB over the other. Just pointing out our new starting QB ( At least when PS is healthy) has not done well producing TDs in the roll.

[EastStang]

RL has to have better play calls in the red zone. 5 field goals ain't gonna do it. 5 TD's will. I think given our line issues, KL makes more sense if we want to win this year. You know every coach will dial up the BYU defense until we prove we can give PS time to throw. Now, they have to be a little more concerned about options.

Yeah, you didn't say a single word about Stone. What I said you were doing--because you were--was running down Jennings.

[Arkpony]

Regardless of Jennings past performance, I hope he lights it up with TDs against the Frogs and has a remarkable year.

[highlander]

From RL's press conf, I can't shake the feeling that he's done with PS and is fine with him transferring out. I sure hope he knows what he's doing. I would hate to see PS "figure it out" somewhere else next year and carve up whatever conference he's in.

This is exactly what will happen.

IΓÇÖm not sold on Jennings yet. Maybe that 5 star stud we lost to Bama will flip back!

More likely that Keelon will transfer back to SMU is he goes to Bama and sits for a couple of years after being recruited over
