QB Luke Fahey (Official Thread)

[Bestbuck36]

60% completion rate, dont turn it over and use mobility to extend plays or avoid negative ones and we will be just fine. He doesn't have to be a Heisman candidate, we already got that covered.

The more I have thought about it the more I am still rolling with Ryan Day’s QB acumen here.

It takes fewer assumptions to believe that Day knows what he’s doing with QB than it does to believe the entire QB room is completely inept.

Time will tell but the kid has obviously thrown it a million times in HS. He’s been through a fall camp and passed a physical specimen for #2 on the depth chart.

Not many guys are gonna succeed coming in cold late in a game against a top 5 team on the road like that. I think after 2 weeks of prep with the 1s and a tailored game plan things will look different in a better way

I'm a big fan of Fahey. I think he's a baller and will look wayyyy better after 2 weeks of #1 reps. I don't put any stock into that IU game

Hes going to do great. No reason to start TSC and completly change the whole offense. He has the best receivers in the country and they have been running the ball better.

Mark my words this kid tears USC up. 300yd and 4td. 70%

I think this is generally accurate….The St. Clair and Fahey situation remind me quite a bit of Kienholz and Sayin from 2 years ago when they backed up Will Howard.

Everything I kept hearing was Kienholz is a stud and can be really good, but “in a different way”. The obvious indication was Kienholz would need a different system and developing to his talents is challenging when trying to gameplan and win on a week to week basis.

Fast forward to Sayin going down against Indiana, and Fahey is the logical backup…..he has a similar skill set and operates the same system. At this point, they’re not comfortable calling a “Sayin” game for St Clair and there’s only so much “install time” in a given week, so St Clair’s only real chance at playing time is OSU needing a unique skill set that requires a special install.

I actually think they’ll supplement Fahey with St. Clair to help in run game (zone read) and have some pass plays off of it….thats my hope anyways.

Damn son. I dont think Sayin would put that up. If he does we're in the freaking money!

Lead California powerhouse Mission Viejo to a state championship, and with his numbers, if he was over six feet tall, he would be a 5.

TSC apparently wasn't growing and improving with his reads. That is the kiss of death with Ryan Day.

Fahey in short order worked his ass off, is quick with picking up OSU's playbook and his reads impressed the staff.

During Ball State it was easy to see the difference.

This kid is going to be fine. I’m convinced he has the “it” factor. Two weeks of first team practice snaps will make a world of difference. He adds another wrinkle to the offense. If we won a natty with a third string qb, we can beat USC and Oregon with Luke. I’m calling my shot here baby!

Love it! I think so as well.

I went through the thread. He chose OSU over Stanford and Indiana. Shanahan and Cig also wanted this kid.

And for those concerned about his height, that's nothing that 2 extra pairs of socks can't fix.
