Re: Zeb Noland ERA Begins..10/3
None of our quarterbacks have been big yardage stat stuffers. We run the ball and play defense. Just look at the previous qb stats this past decade.
Jensen: >250 yard passing games: 2 (1 being >300 yards)
Wentz: >250 yard passing games: 3 (1 being >300 yards)
Stick: >250 yard passing games: 5 (2 being >300 yards)
Lance: >250 yard passing games: 1 (1 being >300 yards)
Point being, we never pass a lot. Only 10 times in 9 years have we had a qb pass for over 250 yards and only 5 times over 300. Hell, Trey Lance only threw over 200 yards 3 times in 17 starts. Yet despite all this, we are 130-8 with 9 conference titles and 8 national championships. Zeb will be just fine throwing the ball. As long as we can run the ball and play good defense like always, we will keep winning, which is all that matters.
