Starting QB

[JP21]

Any word on who is starting for QB against Nova week 1?

[The YO Show]

I don't think the competition is completely over... I think that when we switch from camp to Nova week here (this week) the decision will be made. I am not 100% sure though, haven't heard anything in a little bit. Last I heard I think Beau was just slightly ahead of the other two, and the competition was tight.

Everything I’ve heard suggests it’s Beau.

[YsuPride]

It's Brungard.

[Wick250]

I expect to see two quarterbacks in the non-conference games. Brungard will start and operate a run-first, play action pass offense (just like his father did three decades ago.) But don't sleep on Schondelmyer. He has the tools to run the modern, pass-happy offense. All he lacks is experience.

Although I got to the scrimmage a little late, Brungard seemed to get much of the #1 reps, while Shannon seemed to get a fair share with the #2’s (assuming that is where they were on depth chart). However, all the QB’s, including the Brecksville kid, we’re getting reps. I’d anticipate Brungard being the guy. Should we have issues moving the ball, I would expect them to give the others reps too.

I think Brungard will struggle at 1st and we will look bad at Villanova.   Thoughts??

Why?

[YsuPride]

Brungard is a running QB and Villanova will force him to pass.  Not a strong point of his.  If the spring game was anything he ran more than he passed.  We have to score 30 plus points a game with the weak defense we have. Can he do it?  Time will tell.   A good showing against a good Villanova team will be more comforting.

Beau officially named the starter.

I hope the Crenshaw era does not repeat itself….let us hope the OC will call some pass plays this time around and stop this QB run first mentality. Otherwise, the defense will put 9 in the box and bury our running QB and RB.
Losing our passing QB and couple best receivers do not help either.i was at the spring game and I didn’t think he was that effective. In that game, I thought the Freshman QB was most impressive, especially as a passer.

Brungard is unofficially the starter as of this morning I heard it on Rivers in the morning around 1145am.  Tomzack was his guest I guess.

YOUNGSTOWN — After a position battle that went through spring practice and into fall camp, Youngstown State has named a new starting quarterback.


Sophomore and former Springfield star Beau Brungard has been taking reps with the first-team offense in practice and will start YSU’s season opener Aug. 29 against Villanova.

Might just be another Mark Waid depending on his legs more than his arm.

What's the name of the young man with the long last name? I heard he was impressive.
