What I like the most about all 4 of our quarterbacks is they all have class with know baggage to speak of..that's very hard to find these days. Ricky in my opinion is the most improved out of the 4. I'm going to stop short of predicting a starter for week 1 because I'm not with them everyday like the coaches are. Keep in mind Ricky only attempted 4 passes yesterday while completing 3 and was not really giving the option to throw last season. Mays had twice as many attempts yesterday. It's really hard to get a true read with the offense in these scrimmages because the defense will always have the upper hand. Specific quarterback's have been working specific drills for game situations all through camp that what leads me to believe a 2 system quarterback is in place

Not to look past Duquesne and Robert Morris, but all 4 should get plenty of work in. I just noticed we have 2 weeks between Robert Morris and our conference opener against South Dakota. That will be huge for us and that's truly when our season begins West Virginia's defense just dominated their offense in yesterday's scrimmage we have our work cut out for us. I think every position will be re-evaluated after R.M.

This is true but Mays never went with the ones at all and Ricky was the only QB to not go with the two's. Do you think that means anything?

[ytownchief22]

I agree. I just think with our O-Line not being the greatest, our inexperienced WR's, we need a QB that is able to move the chains and make plays with his feet. Can't be sitting back there waiting and waiting. Davis gives us that best chance.

[FOOTBALLFEVER]

Mayor, that could mean something it's just really hard to say. It was my understanding Mays worked with the 1's and drove the length of the field. Chief, it's very hard to argue your point and I think most people on here would agree with you. Our offensive line is much improved. With the exception of W.V. we will not see a pass rush like ours the entire season and our quarterbacks will have more time to throw then last year. Fan makes a valid point, if the receivers step up Wells will more then likely be the #1. Why on Earth would you risk injuries to our mobile quarterbacks in the weenie games when we need them the most starting with S.D. and then the rest of the conference? On the flip side I do understand the importance of getting this issue behind the team and moving forward.  Running quarterbacks do and will get hurt, plus Wells has the most game experience. The last thing you want is either Hosick, Davis or Mays getting shell shocked in Morgantown to start the game. All 4 will see plenty of time before S.D. know need to panic early on

I would agree that the starter for Dusquene needs to be the presumed starter for the season.  There is no need for a two QB system if the starting QB has a complete skill set.  No way I'd have WVU be the first start for the new QB.    Davis should've started the Missouri State game last year, but that opportunity was lost. From everything I'm reading, and saw last season, I'd start Davis with Hosick as the backup.  In garbage time I'd put Hosick in for a few wildcats.  Mays #3.  Wells would be the nuclear option.

After reading this I hope we surprise them.  This writer is just simply ignorant.  It wont be that lopsided.  If we can find a way to chew up some clock we can make it close, and possibly pull off an upset.  Remember the top 15-30 of FBS can be beaten by top tier FCS (which is where we are this yr)  If this guy only knew the BS circumstances that have happened to us for 10+ years and the fact that our conference is a meat grinder that has cost us a playoff spot,he would know that we are a threat.  Hopefully they read his article.

Mays is a very good player in my opinion but yesterday he was only with the 2's and was helped down the field by penalties on the drive, but he threw a very nice ball on the TD.

48 points on our defense. .UMMMM DON'T THINK SO!! Plus we have a good kick off specialist that will be able to boot it in the endzone and not allow them easy points like we did against Pitt. I'm sure the over/under will be well over 50, but I look for about 35 points in all

It's soooooo 2006 lol

With the fact that WVUs defense was supposed to be the question mark, and the offense was not up to par, AND they have now maybe lost their starting Left Guard to a DUI for our game, safe to say it will be impressive if they put more than 35 on our defense.

[ytownchief22]

Yeah, just saw one of their starting O-Lineman arrested for DUI last night. Oops.

Interesting opinion since I think Wells will be the starter.  All this camp stuff with Mays and Davis is just smoke to keep them with the program
