a 2-man race. And while Hilstead is better, it's not like Quinn Ewers suddenly transferred into the program. It wasn't worth resetting expectations with the other two and prepping a new QB who had missed spring camp.

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

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

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

Can’t be worse than Retzlaff

How do you know that?

Then you just go back to Retzlaff.

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

He struggled in fall camp

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

Chicago Cougar

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

Sep 8, 2:50pm

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