Honestly it doesn't matter which of our QBs we use, people will be clamoring for the backup. Or in this case the 3rd string. Next up will be 4th string

Jeff Hansens favorite QB in fall camp was McCae Hillstead, USU transfer.

Hawk Talons

He's our best qb... but he's also small.

runnincoug

Sep 8, 8:30am

He's our best QB? Based on what?

Indy Coug

Sep 8, 8:32am

Based on nobody having seen him play yet and hope

RC Vikings

Sep 8, 8:37am

Based on Jeff Hansen

And other media guys. Hilstead looked good at usu once he got going.

I went to a scrimmage & multiple practices during fall camp and Hillstead stood

No reason to be baffled. You saw what... 5% of the overalll practice hours??

MaximusMeridius

100% reason to be baffled, Retzlaff was throwing the ball behind his WRs 30% of

Amazing that ARod would stake his livelihood on Retzlaff if his 3rd string

MaximusMeridius

Sep 8, 3:21pm

...like I said, I was baffled as well. And there were many others around me

Das_Countach

Sep 8, 3:28pm

And to be clear, Im not suggesting start Hillstead right now. But Retz needs to

Das_Countach

Sep 8, 3:46pm

I think Retz was the beneficiary of him being a junior and Bohannon a Sr. Hey Rod, probably should’ve thought more

KYU

Sep 8, 3:46pm

I’ve seen Retzlaff turn the ball over an average of 4 times per FBS game

Is it possible that they were running against different defenses?

The Dark Knight

Sep 8, 3:52pm

Generally, the 1s and 2's are running vs 1s and 2s. Yes, Hillstead was

Das_Countach

Sep 8, 4:33pm

Can’t be worse than Retzlaff

How do you know that?

Then you just go back to Retzlaff.

Tysman Rap

Hillstead's INT% is nearly double that of Retzlaff (5.1% vs 2.7%)

Indy Coug

Sep 8, 8:56am

So he can be worse than Retzlaff. That’s a depressing QB situation

letthewookieewin

Sep 8, 8:57am

he was also a true frosh & 3rd string until his 1st pt(AF 3rd gm of season)

wickedgame71

Sep 8, 9:48am

That's comparing a true frosh who had nearly half of his 8 Ints in his first...

wickedgame71

Sep 8, 9:54am

That’s a fun game, Now put him against

canuckchuck

Sep 8, 10:34am

I don't think he should be starting rn largely due to being a fall not spring tp

wickedgame71

Sep 8, 12:34pm

Hillstead was a true freshman, thrown in there because of injury, not apples to

Das_Countach

Sep 8, 2:18pm

How about fumbles

YOHONOMOTO

Sep 8, 4:33pm

The receivers say he throws the best deep ball

Scholarship to Bama. Just like Conover, eh?

He struggled in fall camp

Zombre

Any more info you can give?

Hawk Talons

Sep 8, 8:50am

Im not saying Jeff Hansen is biased

canuckchuck

Sep 8, 9:05am

But who was Jim Henson's favorite QB in fall camp?

Ski-U-Mah

Sep 8, 9:34am

Im very impressed with '25 QB Nolan. Any chance he serves the Z Wilson mission?

wickedgame71

Sep 8, 10:01am

Hansen said he’s undecided on mission rn so there’s a good chance he stays.

Mjolnir

Sep 8, 10:45am

I hadn't heard that. That's great news if it proves true...He has pro potential

wickedgame71

Sep 8, 12:41pm

yeah, super great news he might decide to not serve a mission.

Sorry. I didn't intend to discredit missionary service just looking forward to

That’s too many historical interceptions for CB…it will haunt him

So why was our starting QB competition a 2 man race?

MaximusMeridius

Sep 8, 1:35pm

Because Hilstead was added late after the other two were already told it was

runnincoug

Sep 8, 3:23pm

He'll get a shot sooner or later vs. Big12 Ds, then we'll see.

Celeritas

But does he have grit? We had a USU transfer once who had grit...

And James Madison was a legit team
