Rockne's Roundtable

Playing football is a challenge every time you pass, run, kick, snap, block, tackle or perform any other skill involved in the game.

However, after dedicated training and commitment, God given talent, personal integrity and native instinct takes over. There is a fine line in evaluating performance, measuring improvement and understanding the most critical quality -execution under pressure.

The quarterback position is often the most difficult to determine. Let's hope one becomes the clear starter and continues to improve.

I still think Golson has more than Hendrix. Focus on Golson if Rees gets suspended. Yea of course give Hendrix a good amount of reps but I love Golson's natural ability to move. Hendrix just seems to be blinkered.

You couldn't ask for 2 better games on our schedule for new QBs to get their confidence and the team's confidence then the first 2. Even if both guys screw up we should still win both. You want to have a #1 and a #2 by game 3, at Michigan State.

I could not disagree more. First, the QBs are very similar so having two packages probably does little to force the defense into different personnel packages or formations. Second, this team needs a LEADER on offense, that intangible is likely one of the reasons Rees was in the mix. If we had someone like Floyd who would be the defacto leader, you could platoon your QBs - not here. Third, a decision needs to be made on the QB, it is increasingly clear that BK's delays, while merited based on the lack of a frontrunner, have not resulted in positive results. BTW, we don't need to throw the ball 30 times a game, why can't BK play to our strengths (big oline and a stable of RBs)
