It's not a problem keeping things close to the vest.

10 days til kickoff. NMSU game is on ESPN. Not ESPN+, the actual ESPN!!! Last game I saw on TV was UMass getting pasted by URI & Maine on NESN at the Lodge in beautiful Randolph.
The Zoo!!!!
Re: 2023 Season
Nice thing about ESPN is you get the real decent cameras. The NESN broadcasts looked like 1950's style pictures and could barely follow the game.
The Zoo!!!!

Re: 2023 Season
It's a problem not having picked your QB1 and having your QB1 taking the VAST majority of reps with the starting offense. If you don't think it's a problem, you're just wrong.

Re: 2023 Season
I'm pretty sure they know exactly who the QB is and they are getting most of the reps going into game prep. DB said as much in an interview. When they go into prep for NNMSU they will have a QB1.

Re: 2023 Season
Not according to the article in the Berkshire Eagle today. The press is at the practice and there wasn't one chosen or obvious. And there is nothing to hide from the other teams. 3 new QBs in a new system, so no tape on them, and they played against the 4th QB. You can't get the timing down with your receivers if you aren't running all of the plays, multiple times. But we'll see. I mean we do have an offensive coordinator who has proven that this, "We'll have an ongoing QB competition because that's a good thing" works. I mean look at last year's results.

Re: 2023 Season
I didn't see the article.. i'll check it out. I wonder if that was the last practice open to the media?? If so I could see why they did it.
Re: 2023 Season
It is fine to wait until game week to make the call on starting QB so I would imagine we hear by this weekend who it is. I would be surprised if it is not Phommachanh

Not if you run the ball 90% of the time..... Don't be surprised if you see that.

Re: 2023 Season
Oh man, you gotta hit Linwood's if you like Town Spa. Either regular cheese or pepperoni, you won't be disappointed, just bring your cash. I've been going there my whole life, all of my mother's side were born and raised in Braintree. I even got my wife and kids hooked on it, anytime we are down on the south shore we usually stop in.

Stop waiting for UMass to do something big and help UMass do something big. - Shades
Re: 2023 Season
^ It's the old bait and switch. Davis will start and this was just to get NMSU confused.
