Word on Hogville.com is Malik Hornsby has beat Fortin out to start Saturday. He's a runner not a passer.
The Hog insiders are saying b/c of the Tua Fiasco KJ will NOT play Saturday. Pittman is not taking a chance.

If we are facing Hornsby, I would genuinely lay 14 points.Quote:

I don't think Hogville would know anything either way. I don't expect KJ to play though.Quote:

All of the Arky practice videos I've seen this week primarily show Hornsby in drills, skelly etc. Not much of the other guy. I'm sure Briles and Pittman know what a mobile QB does vs our LBs. I hope it's Fortin if KJ can't go.
I can agree with thatQuote:

Jayden Daniels cant either....Quote:

Doesn't matter.Quote:

Mike Leach ain't no dummy.
Arnett has already taken the blame for that one. He said he did not adjust the defense to Daniels escape routes. That was on him. He said that's not going to happen again.Quote:

This. Heck if we all know about the situation you know good and well the staff does too.Quote:

Then there's the question of if he clears protocol, could you run him like you normally would? I don't think you can play him if he can't run like normal.Quote:

Just can't spot them a lead where they can afford to ground and pound and burn clock.Quote:

This will be a tough win regardless of their QB.
I'm kind of wondering now if this KJ thing is a way for Pittman to rally the troops after the Bama let down. They put a lot into that Bama game.Quote:
