Hopefully Clayton is the QB 1 for next season and you don’t have to pay a ton of money for a transfer QB. This would free up more money for the defense. Also, was Hauck ever a DC or was he just a head coach who knew the 3/3/5 defense and how to teach it. Teaching it versus calling it would seem to be two different things. I just want an attacking defense from here on out. Our bend don’t break has been the norm for too long.

Barring a discount like Luke gave us with Tennessee, a QB's market value is just that, his market value. You will need to pay to retain just like you'd need to pay to get one in the portal, assuming Clayton finishes the year strong as as the #1 QB.

What Luke sacrificed for us was wonderful but it's highly unlikely we see that again.

I just don't think we can get stops. Ducks 45 - Illini 17

We won't be playing Michigan States 3rd String Defense for this game either. A true freshman vs. the Ducks... Oregon will be at the very least be a 3 touchdown favorite and as you state probably even more.

Playing with house money.

GREAT time for a bye. Let Lunney figure out the best game plan for Clayton. Maybe also work on some packages for Boyd to throw the defense off, and at least make the rest of the teams on our schedule do some extra scouting. Maybe Beilema tweaks a few things with the defense to get them playing a little better, not expecting much on that front though.

Does Boyd have any arm? I know he's a running threat, but if we bring him in and he can throw it would be a nice decoy for hopefully a long gain.

He’s getting recommendations but BB is making the final call. Martin was a guy who struggled at Colorado state but they liked the physical tools. You see NFL gm’s get burned by they all the time.

The development has been lacking because the first several classes we brought in weren’t good.

I’m wondering if Martin would be better at guard
