Robert Bolden Named Starting QB for Penn State

no chance we can win this one without ingram.

And godspeed for a healthy return to Happy Valley. Lord knows you’re not going to have a pleasant trip to Tuscaloosa.

Our “inexperienced, overrated” D is going to make a verb out of this kid.

Amusing watching him run from Hightower and Dareus.

I’m not getting cocky. They could beat us, and that would be the worst thing. They shouldn’t, but in these games you never know.

says that it’s likely all three will see playing time this week and there will be a re-evaluation next week. some mix of bolden and newsome is likely in two weeks.

which makes sense, but sounds even worse for the nittany lions. i remember lsu’s attempt at rotating QB’s last season wasn’t an overly successful gambit against our defense.

As long as he won the competition outright, he gives us a very good chance to win any game, Alabama included. To be sure, we’re still going to be dogs, but this is a good choice, and like was said in the article, its not like he’s some scrub.

As to kleph’s point (the comment popped up as I was typing this), I’d be willing to bet that you see Newsome some during the next two weeks, but more in the wildcat or newsome split wide kind of formations.

If I were a betting man, I would say that Newsome is the main backup this year, but plays more of a Tebow-to-Leak role, coming in in select situations where he’s needed (he’s the better runner of the QB candidates). Also, I’d bet the other highly touted recruit Paul Jones does not last in PSU.

He is black so he is probably pretty good at scrambling and bad at pocket passing. Also, he won’t likely know the playbook very well.

But it can be cured. Count me in Junny’s camp as happy with the decision. My favorite things I heard out of camp were ‘poised’ and ‘mature.’ Although words like ‘can scramble’ and ‘nimble’ may be just as beneficial.

he does take off pretty quick if it’s not there. If we contain the corners, Dareus and Hightower will take care of the rest.

Bolden’s ability’s are mainly an unknown at this point. Granted the experience isn’t there. His inability to play QB, so far, is all speculation. If our team were to think like this would it be healthy? I wan’t Bama to come in hungry, fearful of a loss and on their toes. At this point for all practical purposes I’m going to pretend Bolden is a fifth year senior from Utah.

Man I cannot believe he’s starting.

Well, they’ll always have that “bap[tism of fire in Alabama” speech to give when he’s finally winning games as a junior.

Better tuck that thing in son before it gets caught on a trip wire!
I know, I know that’s what…
