I remember watching that play and thinking Hilliard could have walked in end zone untouched. I hope Jonathan Banks learns how to dish the ball when needed in critical situations.anEngineer wrote:That's part of the good and bad of Banks. Coach Fritz has said several times that Banks' winning TD in the Army game should have been a hand off to Hilliard. The read was for Hilliard and he walks in the endzone untouched. Instead Banks kept it and took some really big shots on the way in... but he got in. I imagine he was thinking the same thing at SMU.DfromCT wrote:If he's better, and knows the offense as well as Banks does at the time, then it's a good problem to have. But Banks got a lot better by the end of the season than he was when his first season in the offense started. I'd imagine that improvement continues with spring and summer practice camps. So, again, IF Scott is better in the offense than Banks, than it's an upgrade. But I don't see Coach Fritz giving the job to Scott (or ANYONE) simply because he agreed to come here. Winning matters at Tulane these days, and we do measure success by wins and losses.Profoundwizard wrote:If Scott comes to Tulane I'd Be surprised if he didn't take the starting job from Banks when it's all said and done. Maybe not by opening week but at some point in the season
BTW: Having viewed that last play at SMU about a dozen times since it happened, I don't think it was a pass play as Coach Fritz claimed. Banks never got the ball near his shoulder or anywhere near ready to throw a pass on the play. But I still think he got into the end zone. That one angle that SMU released a few days later was far from straight down the goal line.

We need to stop riding this guy's jock. He doesn't want to be at Tulane and I don't want him here if he only comes because it's his best offer. I'll Bank on Jonathan in 2018 and expect Fritz to have his heir apparent ready for 2019.
Thankfully by the Monday after next, January the 15th, the saga of Lindsey Scott should one way or another be mercifully at an end.JerseyWave wrote:We need to stop riding this guy's jock.

If he comes here fine, it not, I'll get over it.

He's just a kid trying to find the best way to end up in an NFL camp. Nothing more , nothing less. I don't think it's about not wanting to be at a particular place. He knows he made a mistake out of high school and he can't screw this up.JerseyWave wrote:We need to stop riding this guy's jock.

Now we're in trouble. Just read on Twitter that QB McClain is transferring. We need another scholarship QB on the roster!

Was just about to post the same, Jersey. McClain was scheduled to be #2 behind Banks this season, as I'm sure the staff would like to RS Daniels. Wonder if he knows something we don't regarding Scott? Especially with this coming out right before school starts.

I hope this is the case but disappointed as it sounded like McClain had looked good in practice.chain gang x man wrote:Me and tps just said the same thingRobertM320 wrote:Was just about to post the same, Jersey.

Scott says he may official to Missouri soon and will have three years of eligibility at the next school of choice.
"Obviously like the chance to compete on the P5 level, as well as play with my childhood friend (Adam Sparks)," Scott said. "I don't know much about where they are going in terms of system at this point. Drew (Locke's) decision to stay or leave would have to be factored also. I like them no doubt. But lots of questions left. All these schools for one reason or another are on equal footing.

WOW, I'm surprised that McClain is transferring. I thought they put the redshirt on him, and he would have had a chance to be the starter for three years. There were other QB's on the roster as well, But Brantley transferred as well. Is Bradwell now the emergency QB? Or is the kid from California (I think he was a walk-on) Hurst(?) or the one from Argyle Texas, Ledford, now the #2? Do either of them have enough talent that might let us breathe easier?
Anyone know why McClain is transferring? Did he cut it in the classroom? I'm just surprised at this move at this date. Wonder where he's going? Maybe he's headed to EMCC for a year!

This has nothing to do with Scott. It was put out there a couple of weeks ago on another site. Reports were that he didn't look good at all throwing the ball. He wasn't confident he would be developed here. During his recruiting everybody else wanted him at TE/Wr. There was good reason for that. Ledford is not a D-1 QB. So hopefully we get Scott and one more.

In my mind, Dooleys offense will never be a fit for Scott...given his background and prior coaching, Dooley is a pocket passer proponent something Scott does not fit...but then again, being PEE'd is being PEE'd...and it would be ironic, from one Tiger to another...aaahhh the karma of it allDfromCT wrote:Time to go after Mr. Scott all out!

Oregon state offers Scott. I imagine we're toast. If I'm betting.
Oregon State, with OC Mike Riley...should be interesting....memo to the Scott family, get very acquainted with Denver Int'l and the Portland airports, enjoy your ride down I-5 it is pretty...visit Mt Hood and The Dalles west of Portland on I-84....as I posted before, QB is the least of my worries and the JUCO's will be playing Football again this coming seasongalvezwave wrote:Oregon state offers Scott.

Corvallis, Oregon might as well be in a different country from South Louisiana. I feel bad for Fritz who has invested heavily in this guy. As long as Banks stays healthy Quarterback won’t be a problem for Tulane in 2018.
Healthy is the key. But I can’t remember the last time Tulane had a QB healthy all year.JerseyWave wrote:Corvallis, Oregon might as well be in a different country from South Louisiana.
