MO State week

Time to get back at it. Hoping with decent weather(sunny, 40s, winds 10-15) we can focus on timing and build up the threat of a passing game to go along with the run.

I am hoping we Commit to Keaton Heide and get him some good reps.

This. If it was worth pulling Nelson to put in a freshmen in Q4 against NDSU, they must see a bigger upside with Heide. Stick with him, let him grow a little, and see where the chips fall.

Play well, Have Fun, Stay Healthy.

My hope is that after a full week of practice at QB1, Heide can come out with a playbook that will allow him to throw some, especially play action, while relying heavily on the run.

Something I hadn't considered earlier though is this: Do we have to pretty much take QB run out of the playbook now? We obviously need another facet to the run game to help keep the d honest, but we can't afford to lose any more quarterbacks. I won't be surprised if we see a heavier dose of PSJ or Mikey, etc. back there running wildcat 10 times a game in order to protect our remaining Qbs.

I wouldn't mind a formation with PSJ, CJ and Mikey all in the backfield with either Pierre of CJ receiving the snap.

A person close to the team said Heide will be the guy going forward.

It’s the right decision. It will cause a QB problem next year with two sophomores but that’s what college athletics is about.

Hell, run diamond and get Blair Mullholland some reps too. That would be an insane backfield to defend. With almost zero passing threat, but who cares?

Definitely the right decision, though if next year Gibbs wins the job, Heide would have another opportunity to redshirt if he played in 4 games or less.
