On another note... Need to get tweet embedding turned on for the forum...

Excellent.....with a good summer workout, hopefully he'll be ready for the fall and be up to speed. Having him and Keyteon will be vitally important to our success this year. And I sure hope the freshman QB from TX will get as many reps and PT as we can get him, so we'll have 3 QBs depth wise. That's the one position I like having 3 deep with actual playing experience under their belts. All 3 QBs should get at least a quarter against SFA. And maybe Mayden can get 2 quarters in that game under his belt.

KT and Mayden getting all the spring reps is great going forward.
We just need Fitz to get comfortable and have good chemistry with the incoming WR this summer leading into pre season practice

Mayden not here for the spring.

[Dallas_Dawg]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Agree. If we lose Fitz and KT this season, we are toast anyways

[preachermatt83]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Redshirt Mayden all the way.

No doubt. Mayden is a bull for the future

[BigEasyDawg]

lol at Kylin's comment

"jogging*"

[toxdog]

I hope he gets elected.

[bulldawg28]

I hope he gets elected.

Indeed, and we'll played

[Dawgface]

Nice. I might be able to outrun him right now. Ha.

Memphis lost all 3 QBs one year about halfway through the season. They converted a WR who played QB in highschool. He got them enough wins to become bowl eligible. They were lucky. Most teams don't have another player who can step in and play QB at a moment's notice. What if we were undefeated, just beat BAMA and lost both Nick and Keyteon for the year........so you still would keep the redshirt on Mayden? Then let Rip Kirk come in to face Ark and Ole Miss with a SEC Championship, and possible playoff spot on the line? Well, I suppose we could keep the redshirt on Mayden as you say and just roll the dice with Kirk. Would be interesting to say the least.

Situations like that are where the play four games and you can still redshirt rule helps.

Mayden wont be on campus until June

He will in no way be ready by September- remember, we actually have people worried about Fitz adapting to Moorhead's offense after a Spring Practice, Summer workouts with passing routes, and Fall practice. But we expect Mayden to be ready to play after 4 weeks of practice?

It's going to be hard enough to get KT enough game reps this Fall- and you want to cut into them by playing Mayden????? No Sir

We got Marcus Murphy, who has played some quarterback.

In that situation you would obviously play Mayden, and not Kirk. But that situation also means Mayden has been learning the offense and practicing for 10 weeks during the season. The point is, that you don't play Mayden early in the year just because when both the other QBs are healthy. If one of the other QBs went down then yeah, you can take off his redshirt. But there's no reason to burn a redshirt for the 5% chance that we need a 3rd string QB to play meaningful snaps.

I'm still having a hard time believing how well KT stepped up in that bowl game. that was so clutch for a freshman.

Im not. He is a future draft pick and went thru Spring Practice. Plus he got experience during the season- and got every rep during bowl practices. He is an athlete that ran the ball well and did well enough to complete 11 passes in the bowl game vs a Peter Sirmon defense.

While I agree with what you said....I could probably complete 11 passes on a Sirmon defense...just saying.

You and me both. He is going to be awesome his Junior and Senior season. Especially with the offensive talent surrounding him.
