The Easton Stick Mega Thread

[bisonaudit]

Actually surprising to me how close their numbers actually are. I would have guessed Stick's numbers would have been better.

Stick made 2 more appearances as a Freshman than Jensen. Here are the numbers for each through the 4th team game of their R-So yr.

Stick 148 of 237 passing for 1,975 yds 21 TDs 6 Int 62.4% 156.6 rating
Jensen 116 of 209 passing for 1,690 yds 12 TDs 2 Int 55.5% 140.5 rating

Stick 123 rushes 655 yds 6 TDs
Jensen 86 rushes 289 yds 6 TDs

Total offense:
Stick 2,630 yds 27 TDs 175.3 yds/G 7.31 Yds/Play
Jensen 1,979 yds 18 TDs 152.2 yds/G 6.71 Yds/Play

They both have winning attitudes. Thinking about how last year Stick said his goal was to give Carson one more chance to play. And Jensen...I mean...the "never going to let that feeling happen to me again" attitude got us a few championships.

And how big was Jose Mohler getting us the victory over KU? The rest is history...

I remember the first time seeing Jensen and my first thought was we were seeing a college QB. Good arm, confident throws, and willing the team to win ball games. We have been spoiled with a few good QBs in a row now.

Ahhh OK...sure.

Our offense scored 6 points and I think a field goal was due to a blocked punt.

Interesting stats. Honestly I never really paid much attention to Sticks stats since all I care about is his record.

I'll say this. Brock probably had a slightly better defense but Easton has faced tougher competition. His last 7 games were against 3 ranked playoff teams in pressure situations, 3 top 20 ranked home games, and Iowa. He won road games vs a ranked Youngstown and Indiana State team.

Through their first 15 games (which for Jensen would have been the 6th rather than 4th game of his R-So yr.):

Stick 148 of 237 passing for 1,975 yds 21 TDs 6 Int
Jensen 148 of 255 passing for 2,051 yds 16 TDs 3 Int

Stick 123 rushes 655 yds 6 TDs
Jensen 101 rushes 310 yds 6 TDs

Very interesting stats, Jensen was the "winningest" QB in the fcs and Easton is on track with him. I am surprised at the difference in completion % between the 2 but not the total yards rushing. Enjoyed watching Brock and will enjoy watching Easton thru the next few years.

Thanks for the info.

Comparison of Jensen's and Stick's stats is pretty interesting. I think it's pretty clear however that Stick has more arm talent and is a better athlete running the ball. I'd expect him to develop into a better pro prospect, but where his career numbers shake out depend on many more variables than what Stick can control. Really feels like Stick also has the Walker, Jensen, Wentz it factor in crunch time. He has already lead some pretty impressive comebacks against Youngstown, Eastern Washington, and Iowa.

Really the only thing that I think makes fans pause on Stick is his tendency to be a little reckless with his passes late in his progression. Given more time to develop I think he'll improve on that and hopefully retain the gunslinger mentality.

I think its unfair to compare Easton to our past QBs. I mean come on, Wentz is just his own thing. However, Easton I think does a fantastic job and has definitely come in to fill some pretty big shoes. Which is has MORE than done. Kid can throw, run, pretty smart on the fly. His stats aren't mind blowing, but neither were Carson's. What matters to him is winning, not raking up passing yards etc. Think he only has room to go up in my book.

The one thing I think the coaches absolutely nailed with Stick was bringing him with to every game his redshirt season and having him cling to Wentz like glue. Sure, Stick was already physically gifted, but I really think it helped him mentally prepare and catch on to the system much quicker. Hope they continue to do that with future QB's if the roster allows them to. I'm thinking the verbal from FL in this years class might be one of those guys. I agree it's unfair to compare Easton to any past QB, but he definitely seems to have "it". Boggles my mind that he's only a redshirt sophomore. I think he has NFL potential already and will go down as one of the greatest in NDSU history.
