Lance will be the best QB and his backup might be the 2nd best QB on the field if you count the sidelines as "on the field." :)

Zeb is certainly more proven than Shough at this point. Very true.
Another question for bisonducky: Would you take Zeb Noland (proven Big12 starter with a huge game against a top 10 opponent on his resume) or Shough (nice arm strength, looks promising)?

When can they legitimately have a tv schedule out?

I would have to do more research to be honest. I know Iowa State went through a bunch of qbs recently and all of them fared well. I am not sure if his transfer was because of how the competition shook out. He is an Iowa State transfer, correct?
I know our team is very vocal about backing Shough on social media and more than the usual. It seems there is a lot of belief in him and he has a lot of leadership qualities. I would probably go with him on these intangibles, especially with the constricted timeframe.
He’s also worked a lot with the twos on the oline. That alone is meaningful.

Sounds like he might have a fragile ego?
Our team was very vocal about it being an all out competition for the starting spot before Lance earned the spot. So much so that they brought in a Big12 transfer that summer.

The new parts around him are 3 offensive linemen. We’re replacing 4 starters but Jones has started. We have a lot of journeymen to fill the other spots. Forsythe and Poutasi are upperclassmen. Mala is a juco that appeared in the 4 games and the staff was on the bubble about pulling his redshirt because he was that good.
I am excited to have good experienced skill players for Shough. Our skill players are the most talented we’ve seen in a long time.

No one one on the team is shy about competition. It’s more “watch Shough win the heisman” banter. It’s seems like they’re excited for him. The kid is a fighter.

Wow, is he on Heisman watch lists already?

Obviously not. It’s is optimism. I would take it with a grain of salt. It seems like genuine optimism. Watch the sideline at the end of the USC game when he pancakes a defender. This team likes him.
Re: NDSU @ Oregon Predictions
How do you pronounce Shough?
Shoe? Sho? Show rhymes with ow? Shuff?
