    I agree with 80's statement. Without a KD our qb needs to be better than "fine".

    Higgins has to knock off the boneheaded INTs. If he can avoid those, he'll become a good QB. If not, then he's just not meant to play the position at a level higher than what we've already seen.

    Yes, it's the turnovers that kill. You don't have to have an All conference QB to win this league and a bowl game if you can run the ball, have a controlled, high-percentage passing attack that hits big plays occasionally, and play good defense (Alabama has won a bunch of games this way). But you can't turn the ball over 15-20 times (at the QB position) and expect to have success. This is what made Sokol and Driskel good, imo... they protected the ball. If it's not there, throw it away!

    Our QBs, where are they this summer? Are they at any QB camps?

    Yep....I think that's what Tech fans are concerned about. Already this year, I've noticed that pre-season expectations from LA Tech fans seem to be at an all-time low. Maybe not. But everyone seems to be "waiting for the other shoe to drop". We'll see.

    I only saw Higgins in the Kansas game in 2013 and he looked pretty good for a RS freshman. His only real boner in that game was the fumble while holding the ball out trying to score. Dixon also fumbled close to the goal line in that game. Since that year he really hasn't had much playing time so I expect much improvement.

    So, all this about Higgins "being fine" won't cut it. Our QB can't be just "fine."

    That depends on the expectations. Just ok QB play against Arkansas or Texas Tech and we have almost no chance to win. Just "fine" play against most of our conference schedule is a different matter.

    Have you guys forgotten who our QB coach is now? I know he can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear, but perhaps we're not giving him enough credit.

    True, but there is only so much you can teach. I believe we are all hopeful that our 2016 QB will succeed, and we trust Rattay, Holtz, and the new OC to do their best mentoring.

    Everyone is talking like Higgins has been announced as the starter. Maybe I missed the announcement, but doesn't Price Wilson still have a shot at it? Price's long ball was much more impressive than Ryan's. But Ryan's short game seemed more accurate than Price's. I think it's still a toss up, unless I missed the announcement.

    HCSH has indirectly announced it through his spokesperson on other sites.

    Higgins will start the season with four int's and a fumble at Arkansas and we'll get our asses handed to us and once again, kill our hopes for a great season.

    Only way to avoid this is keep Higgins on the bench where he belongs. He's our 2016 Donald Allen

    Well duuuuh! Experience and maturity are absolute requirements for a QB and that is why you don't give the starting QB position to a FRESHMAN!!! History has proven this over and over and over, but some BB&B boneheads think it doesn't apply at Louisiana Tech. Those same people were the ones clamouring for Nick "Mr. INT" Isham his freshman year, which was yet another inexperienced QB disaster for LA Tech.
