Sounds like it's more an availability and experience issue to me. Good luck to him!

I'd say it shows how big time NDSU is when a SEC team needs a QB that couldn't cut it here.:innocent:

I know. Roehl was incredible in 2019 but last year he was really bad. Honestly Zeb was just a terrible fit for our offense so it was a Square peg and round hole

Hopefully we get back to basics like pulling our athletic lineman and running the QB

No he was not... He had a QB who made him look good! He ran the same shitty offence then too. Trey carried him

Correct especially in the two playoff games. Illinois State 9-3 was the final That game plan was horrible. We had beat the same team earlier in the year 37-3

And in the championship we threw 10 times....Trey totally bailed out Roehl as that game plan was just as putrid as the Illinois State game.

Coaching always comes to the forefront when the talent on the other team is close to ours. Those are the games when you need an actual scheme.

Really miss Mess. Loved the way he called a game. Roehl totally reminds me of Polasek and that's not a good thing.

[NDSU]

Good luck to him! ����

I loved that he threw in the Uncle Rico reference when he was talking about Zeb.

"I know what the narrative may be out there, so let's forget about it and lose the narrative that [Noland] hasn't played a football game in two or three years and he was walking up and down the hall like Uncle Rico talking about what he did back in the day as a quarterback," Beamer said Tuesday. "He played quarterback a couple of months ago -- three months ago. He's been a graduate assistant coach since June."

In gdt he said he was leaving for the lake in the third quarter.

[Kevin]

In gdt he said he was leaving for the lake in the third quarter.

Also, before anyone gives Lakes any shit for leaving the game early.... he said he was seated in the front row.

I did the math using an overhead section view of the Dome and calculated that Lakes would need to be in at least row H in order to be outside the allowed zone of contact of certain players with certain orders of restraint.

I'm guessing one of them noticed and alerted FPD who then told Lakes to leave the state.

Which he then did.

So does Hedberg just get a pass in this whole deal?

I think u guys are completely blowing this out of proportion but I do thin Roehl needs to improve as well. Zeb just looked terrible from the first snap last year even when he had guys run in wide open all of the field. Our oline play has been pretty suspect the last year plus as well.

[Kevin]

It’s a p5 squad against an fcs opponent. Great for zeb but he wouldn’t be starting here this year. Let’s not get carried away.

Nah. When they let Zeb sling it (see: End of half), he was good. We are NOT a good offense with Roehl. If you can't see that, just retire this account.

This year is going to be a toss up after all the crap thats happened over the last year. We will see how they can adjust. I must say I have doubts.

Next year will tell me exactly where we are at coaching wise.

Tyler Roehl offense would have trouble scoring 4 tds total against Eastern Illinois.

Zeb just might have found his mojo against those fcs guys. We'll see.

[AKBison]

Zeb might get one more game and then he's done for the year. Their starter has the job on lock down and should be healed up by then. With that said, I'm pumped for Zeb and hope he throws for 5 TD's next week.

yea its fun watching the gamecock message board now. haha

[JohnnyExtacy]

Zeb isn't as bad of a qb as he was at ndsu. Alot of different factors going into last spring.

I'll say this, the coaching at ndsu is very questionable in terms of offense philosophy. They do not have a NFL QB bailing them out and their lack of creativity and understanding has really shown thus far. I was not impressed, at all with the offensive culture against Albany. Alot of the plays were made because ndsu had much better players. They will not have that luxury against sdsu and the better teams.

They will have to win, or lose, games this year with coaching.

[Snowgoose]

Dude u might have some issues. Can’t people just discuss and not attack people. Grow up.

My only point is not whether Roehl is great or not cause he is struggling but so are other areas. My main point of this is hedberg is considered an elite coach which I think he is but he is also to blame here not just roehl as he is the QB coach and passing game coordinator is that not his title.

Maybe Zeb just had a bad year mentally it happens to a lot of QBs even great NFL qbs have some poor years but people always want to blame a coach instantly. I think there was lots of blame to go around for last spring including a very poor offensive line due to graduations and injuries and maybe even recruiting we will find out this year on that one.

You are correct. Blame needs to be spread around and not just directed at one person. Zeb really doesn't fit what what we wanted to do.

Yes, he threw for 4 TDs. But dive into more, he averaged 5.5 yards per completion and was under 60% passing against one of the worst FCS teams this year. People want to crown him for that line they can.

He was the game 1 starting QB for an SEC team at an SEC stadium in front of tier 1 SEC fans. He threw for 4TD's and zero int. .001 of high school QB's will have that opportunity. Be happy for him!

Crown him because his teammates are happy for him? If only NDSU players and coaches would of had that reaction for him right? Things would have been different.

Get real, I said I was happy for the guy. It's a great story. I am also real that he didn't work for NDSU and the only reason this story happened is because their starter Luke Doty, who will be back this season, injured his foot in fall camp.

1. SO JACKED for Zeb, I hope he keeps tearing it up, especially against actual FBS teams

2. I am not UN-concerned about our offensive play calling. But I think that was probably the 3rd or 4th biggest reason our O stunk last year

3. I was one of the most vocal Zeb supporters, and thought that he may even win the starting job over lance before the 19 season. I think his ability is greater than what he showed last year. but when it came down to it, he missed more than a handful of wide open receivers. Open receivers are open receivers no matter what the offensive scheme. I think Scheme is maybe 10-30% of an offense, and players are 70-90%. Lets not immediately crucify Roehl when the much more obvious answer is that player performance was WAAAAAAAAAAAY down last year for a myriad of reasons

[HerdistheWord]

Zeb is looking very rough today.

[Professor Chaos]

So Zeb came in with less than 2 minutes to play and led them to the winning score right? This shouldn't be surprising at all that he dominated then. The guy is like a baseball closer... start him or bring him in in the 4th inning and he sucks... put him in in the 9th and he's an All-American.
