No, these don't look like particularly good QB situations on paper as we close in on the 2024 season, but odds are at least a few from this group will catch lightning in a bottle, find a diamond in the rough or reenact the final game in "Necessary Roughness."
What you need to know:
- Just four QBs averaged 10 yards-per-dropback or better on first down plays last year: LSU's Daniels, Kansas' Jason Bean, Memphis' Stone and UTEP's McConnell. The only problem is McConnell averaged just 5.81 on second, third and fourth down.
- If nothing else, with new helmet communication technology being used this year, Troy coach Gerad Parker can use the phrase, "Talk to me, Goose" before every offensive snap, thus making every play at least a little fun.
