QB Rob Schoenhoft (official thread)

Delaware might take a similar approach at quarterback.
The Blue Hens get starter Robby Schoenhoft, a transfer from Ohio State, back today. But Schoenhoft, who missed the Hofstra game with a concussion, is not expected to be the starter.
With their backup quarterbacks struggling, the Hens plan to open with either senior Aaron Love (normally a wide receiver) or senior Rob Agnone (normally a tight end) under center. That duo led Delaware to a 17-0 win at Hofstra last weekend, a victory that snapped Delaware's three-game slide.
"There's different energy right now," Keeler said of the lift Love and Agnone gave the offense. "They've added a new dimension to what we're doing. We have everyone available. We do have Robby back, so it gives us another option. I think we'll wait till game-day to see what happens there."

Schoenhoft update, and the Pac 10 situation

Two tidbits for you during a slow week....
-- Former Ohio State quarterback Rob Schoenhoft really struggled this year with Delaware. The Blue Hens went 4-8, their most losses ever in their 117-year history. It appears he may not get the starting job back next year, his senior season.
Schoenhoft was 112 of 208 passing (53.8 percent) for 1,278 yards with 7 TDs and 13 INTs.
On a good note, the Wilmington (Del.) News Journal voted him its "Stand-up guy of the year," and had this to say about that:
"(Schoenhoft) answered questions about his failures and his successes with the same forthright composure, class, maturity and honesty. The oft-used term `good kid' is an understatement in his case."

I was pulling for Robbie over Boeckman, only because I thought he had more upside...and by upside I meant a missle launcher attached to his shoulder. Truly an NFL quality arm. I thought game experience would fix all the flaws, but deep down I kept thinking that he might not really be a QB. Then it became more and more apparent that he just wasn't that good with things that QBs do.

I always kind of hoped Schoenhoft would transfer and light it up at Delaware like Joe Flacco.

It's never to late to learn a new position. Rob is a big dude with great
athleticism. Why waste it?

He would have been better served to stay at Ohio State and do it, but...Tight End, brother!

And Ohio State had a little something to do with both debacles.

Schoenhoft's at peace with football in the past
By Bill Koch ? [email protected] ? August 2, 2009

With college football teams around the country set to begin practice for the 2009 season, former St. Xavier High School star Rob Schoenhoft is eagerly looking forward to the start of classes later this month at the University of Dayton.

Schoenhoft could be on the field sweating along with his Delaware teammates as he prepares for his senior season. Instead, he'll begin his pursuit of a master's degree in school counseling, his playing days behind him.

This isn't what Schoenhoft envisioned when he set out from his Mason home in 2005 to play quarterback for Ohio State. But he has no regrets about how his college career has transpired.

He's proud of the effort he gave and the fruits he reaped from his time at Ohio State and later at Delaware, having learned that there's more than one way for a college football player - even one as highly regarded as Schoenhoft - to define success.

"My time at Ohio State was amazing," Schoenhoft said. "I was extremely fortunate to have the time that I had there. And going to Delaware was the right thing for me. I wouldn't have done anything different."
Goodbye, Columbus

Schoenhoft, who was ranked by Rivals.com as one of the top five high school quarterbacks in the country in 2004, says he's confident he made the right decision when he announced last April that he would forgo his final year of eligibility at Delaware, where he transferred after he left Ohio State following the 2007 season.

"I knew it was the right time," Schoenhoft said of ending his playing career a year early. "I still miss it, but football will always be a part of my life. My goal is to go back to St. X and be a counselor and a football coach."

Schoenhoft, who turned 23 last Thursday, chose not to play this year partially for health reasons. He suffered three concussions last year at Delaware and continued to endure occasional headaches after the season ended. But there was more to his decision than that.

"I didn't think I was in the situation to be successful at Delaware," Schoenhoft said. "The coaches were great, but I didn't agree with the direction the program was going in. I had a great experience there, but I didn't feel like I was getting the support I needed from them."

But to become the Buckeyes' starting quarterback, he would have to beat out his friend, Todd Boeckman, which he was unable to do.

"It was our different playing styles," Schoenhoft said. "Todd is less of a risk taker. He's more conservative. I was more of a gunner that would gun the ball into places. His style of play was more suited to (coach Jim) Tressel's offense.

"I gave my heart and soul to the cause. It hurt, but we were still winning games and that's the goal we work for."
