I'm always amazed how easy it is for other teams to complete a 7 yard square in or out pattern on 1st down - but we rarely seem to execute it. We call it a lot, just don't execute...I guess part of that is our great pass D too...

From Huskers.com: "Armstrong was one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks after leading Cibolo Steele High School to the Class 5A state championship game each of his final two seasons. Armstrong led Steele to 15 straight victories in 2011, before a loss in the state championship game. He rushed for 1,281 yards and 16 touchdowns, while passing for 1,945 yards and 29 touchdowns against just two interceptions. He completed nearly 59 percent of his passes. Armstrong threw for 279 yards and three touchdowns in the state quarterfinals, while also rushing for a touchdown. In a semifinal win, Armstrong had 139 rushing yards and four touchdowns, while passing for another score. Armstrong was named to the San Antonio Express News All-Area team as an all-purpose player and was the District 25-5A Offensive MVP.
Armstrong also earned first-team all-district honors as a junior, when he led Cibolo Steele to a 14-2 record and a Class 5A Division II state championship. Armstrong ran for more than 500 yards and eight touchdowns, while passing for1,343 yards and 19 touchdowns with just two interceptions.
Armstrong was regarded as the No. 5 quarterback in the country and 18th-best overall prospect in the state of Texas by Scout.com. Armstrong played in the Offense-Defense Bowl in Arlington, Texas, following his senior season. He only visited Nebraska, but had offers from coast to coast, including Georgia Tech, Oregon, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, TCU and UCLA."
No, not a pro style QB, but he didn't seem to have a problem passing the ball.
I'm nitpicking but...
"He completed nearly 59 percent of his passes"
In high school.
"He completed nearly 59 percent of his passes"
In high school.
How many Beaver quarterbacks are starting in the NFL? How many have won a play-off game as the starter? I don't know, but before you start promoting Riley as some kind of quarterback guru you should have the facts.
I think O'Brien can save this offense. even as a freshman, all we need is someone who is accurate and it's game on and this what O'Brien has is accuracy and a cannon. If I'm not mistaken he grads early and will be here for spring which will help him greatly to learn Rileys offense. To top it off nicely I really think Gebbia is ours. one if those 2 guys should pan out.
Now I don't blame Tommy for the issues because he isn't this type if QB but then again this isn't Rileys or Langdorfs offense style either, but Tue coaches are trying to adapt and ad opinion style plays to there offense to help Tommy, just like Callahan with Dailey, there are stuck and so are we, with what we have till our QBs get here. It will be a long season, but the QBs we need for our offense are comming

Go back and look at the 2nd and 7 play. If Cross goes to the left, he is still running. My issue is having Cross in the game at the time.
Gees he hasn't even finished his senior year of high school. Let's slow down a bit.
