Blough it is

I understand that sentiment, however there is something to allowing a guy grown a bit. During the first three games of Joey Elliott's Sr. year I called for him to be benched because he lost two games for Purdue with fumbles. I WAS WRONG. He fixed his issues and went on to have a great year.
If Purdue keeps changing QBs at each point of struggle - no one will ever develop.
The thing is that Appleby has now played significant minutes in 12 games. That is the equivalent to an entire season, and he still has not figured it out. However, I am worried that if we put Blough in now he will go down the same road due to poor coaching. I don't know what the solution is, but Appleby was given plenty of time to prove that he can make improvements.
Keep the shirt on Sindelar at all costs. I think he will get his chance next year with at the very least a new OC. I'm really getting sick and tired of this. Shoop is awful at best and needs to move on.
I like both of these QBs when I have heard them interviewed. Blough seems to have a little more spunk about him. Let's hope the system allows him to do what he does best.
With Blough's mobility being one of his strengths, I fully expect to see much more of a drop back, stay in the pocket game plan this week.
It was time to switch. Win, lose, or disaster. They got to find a leader even if it means putting in the kicker at QB. Whoever is out there has to earn their keep.
nothing against Appleby, I think the man gave it his all, just hoping Blough lights a fire in the offense and gets the team playing well
I liked Blough in the Spring Game against a C- defense. I like his charisma and his press conference and he said the right things. All that being said, Peyton Manning would fail in this system; it is too complicated and has been ineffective at all levels, pro and college. When was the last time you saw a "John Shoop" offense tear it up? Even with UNC and all those NFL players they were not top 40.
I think you'll see a crisper and more efficient offense this week. That said, we'll still be hamstrung with Shoops poor at best scheming and untimely play calling. If we avoid mistakes and keep BGSU in the 30s, I like our chances tho.
Whatever they do, please don't do the read option! If you don't have a running QB to begin with, that's just a disaster waiting to happen.
I would love to see Blough change plays in to the huddle to something he's comfortable with or what he sees in the defense. Yes, I actually trust a sophomore QB to call the game better than Shoop. Can you argue with me?

I think Shoop should use the "Ask Madden" button a little more often.
Jobs will be on the line when there are more empty seats than full one's. And jobs will end when this guy's contract is up because Burke isn't going to pay Hazell after just paying Hope for two years.
