I think Carl Lee lives close. Mark Martin too.

I couldn't agree with you more. The video is fine the audio is horrible. No crowd or stadium noise.

 

[bris1112]

No down and distance on the ESPN+ broadcast.
Now a weather delay.

Another transfer QB

2024 woof

 

[goherdorgohome2]

This delay is really going to kill our offensive mojo..

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Earle looked awful, appreciated mother nature giving me a break from that.

 

[johns1124]

Ane ETA? Locals how does it look?

 

[greengeezer]

I was just looking at Huntington area radar. Could be a while.

 

[johns1124]

Guess I have time to run to the store then!

Yep, you are right, right now we are just eat up with it LOL

I can’t believe we are honestly starting a kid who has been in the program like 2 weeks.

Huff said he had been here since June.

 

[bris1112]

I'm frightened by the RB situation.
NFL RB1 is a cheat code in conference. Something to lean on.

 

[herdinmichigan]

I want to see Tuner in there more myself

 

[bris1112]

YES!

 

[johns1124]

There is Turner!

 

[ThunderCat98]

Well, he is averaging 80 yards a carry🤣

 

[bris1112]

Stone Earle ain't the guy

 

[ilmherdfan]

Stone Earle ain't the guy

He sure doesn’t look like it.

 

[bgr30]

Best we have.

Stadium looks pretty empty for it to be opening game.

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

This offensive play is hard to watch.

I don't know much about much but is this "Air Raid"?

He is so bad at his job

 

[bris1112]

I think I like Braxton better @ QB.
Weird arm action but great touch.

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

This game has gone well all things together.

I'm thinking "Air Raid" means you throw it 80% of the time, and run it 20% of the time to keep the defense guessing. But what do I know we ran the "Veer" when I played.

 

[Rock98Dog]

My in person observations say Braxton as QB1 and Turner as RB1 and throw the ball more to Metcalf.

I like all the WRs. Appears to be an upgrade.

Braxton definitely looked like he runs the offense better and has the better arm.

Cole has the most upside. Needs to play if the goal is winning season

Based on what? Pedigree?

Ability

From my first game observations, Cole and Braxton throw a more catchable ball. Stone throws at 1 speed, all or nothing. But my guess is Stone will start. Players say he is the most accurate and consistent.

I thought they all played well. But accuracy isn't really the concern. Split second decision making is what we need. Not having that is what leads to QB turnovers more than accuracy. I mean all those guys can put a ball through a tire. But in a game with defense coming at you, I felt like Earle, at least in this game, was more rigid and not as decisive, at least early on. He got better. Cole looked uncomfortable for a couple plays then shined. But long enough for me to think "Not this again." Braxton seemed like the one that came off the bench most ready to do the thing. I think he gives us the best chance of a quick start on offense. We have had slow starts for a long time on offense. I think we're lucky to have all three and if any goes down I feel like we'll still be okay for the first time in a long time.

One thing I do know is, basing a running game on QB draw isn’t going to cut it
