Any word on tomorrow’s likely starter at QB?

Submitted by ShittyPlaceKicker on
I have a feeling it will likely be O’Korn since Peters is still in the concussion protocol. Which, if we’re being honest fellas, probably means we don’t have much of a chance. Edit: hey gang maybe before you shit on me, you should look below

Spot on. Too much defeatist bullshit here. If DPJ gets the CORRECT call, we are up 17-7 AT Wisconsin last week late 3rd quarter. I think we win if that would have happened. We can beat this fucking loser team.

We have all seen this guy play some very bad football games. He is capable of keeping Michigan in the game. If you know the outcome before the game is played, then don't watch. I myself am hoping for the game where it all comes together for 4 quarters and Michigan is the team that gets a couple of timely breaks.

Hope in one hand. Shit in the other. See which one fills up first.

I hope (haha) we have some things go our way too and we pull it off but I still would rather see Speight or Peters out there instead of O'Korn. If John is out there though, I'd like to see a lot of rolling out at least so we can take any straight bull rushing out of the equation as well as blitzes that lead to happy feet or getting rocked. Roll him out and give him some running lanes at worst. Run the corners out of the area with deep routes and give him two options only, both simple options.

Peters still being in the concussion protocol as of at least Wednesday means that for more than half the prep week, he not only wasn't physically preparing, it also very likely means he wasn't mentally prepping -- studying film & analyzing plays, as concussion recovery means giving your brain a rest (which is why recovering athletes often miss school work as well, or at least have a reduced workload).

It would have been tough enough for a non-concussed Peters to properly prepare for OSU, and we're in even a worse situation.

No poster on this board was ever able to figure out whether the 48 hours of physical activity + observation counts as being "in the protocol." This matters because Peter's has potentially been doing activity since Tuesday and by Thursday doctors were comfortable that he's symptom free. So he can possibly squeeze in about half a week of practice.

Do you think it makes sense for a freshman QB to play against a top defense with half a week of prep? 

I realize JOK is not a good option, based on past performance.  But Peters chance of success (which when he is healthy, while higher than JOK, is still not all that high based on our shaky OL and WRs) is going to be severely hurt by the fact he was knocked out and concussed less than a week ago. That has to be in the forefront of Harbaugh's mind.

I think it’s sad that people just want to hear what they want to hear: Peters is out of the protocol and will start and throw for 300 yards and we will win!! It’s just not going to happen.

If healthy enough was iur st starter this year and last... I bet he is lobbying hard to be it tmw. One shot to write himself into history and lay claim to the role for next year.

I have it on good authority (I'm best friends with the backup punter) that it will be Harbaugh himself. He's been given clearance by the NCAA to come back for one game.

Hi Urban

It's going to be Wilton Speight, who's been working with Grant Perry and a few other receivers on the side with Pep Hamilton just for this.

Actually, no, Brandon Peters will be back--his head is fine and concussion was ruled out last week but we wanted you to think that he's out so you wouldn't be prepared for us to unleash a Double-TE downfield attack on you.

Yeah, fine, I'm lying, it's John O'Korn, who's been practicing all year as a zone read option QB and that's why he looks so unprepared all the time when you've seen him in since the offense he's been practicing isn't the one he's had to run.

But in reality we're pulling the redshirt off of McCaffrey for this game and that was the plan all along.
