But to be fair, we had much better depth a few months ago.

We had BB, HH, and QP. Unfortunately, we can’t recruit all-world, 5-star QBs who can just step in as FR and be great — so when guys transfer (which is now an inevitability), it will leave holes.

I’m not sure the solution. Run a more simplistic offense so you can throw a FR out there? Because we aren’t going to recruit the top guys and transfers aren’t going to stop happening.

Caleb Williams stud QB at Oklahoma was recruited by Shane Beamer -- OrlandoHokie 10/11/2021 1:54PM

Riley’s Offense is easy sell to QBs. A garden gnome could recruit QBs there ** -- Exit37 10/11/2021 9:02PM

Should we extrapolate that yet again Shane is the answer to all -- Tombo 10/11/2021 6:49PM

Oh know that is not what I was implying -- OrlandoHokie 10/11/2021 10:09PM

Also struck me other teams’ second string qb quality ** -- 3TechFanz 10/11/2021 3:02PM

Our 2nd string quality was GREAT until we ran him off. ** -- beedubyah 10/11/2021 5:01PM

Was HH run off? If so, how so? ** -- Pride_and_Joy 10/11/2021 6:27PM

The gripe by former players is the offense is too simple now ** -- 3TechFanz 10/11/2021 5:04PM

Which former players? ** -- Pride_and_Joy 10/11/2021 6:00PM

It’s OU. Why not compare us to Bama while you’re at it. Lol. -- Pride_and_Joy 10/11/2021 3:22PM

Agree, gotta be fair. But the staff also had something to do w/the xfers. -- Polito1 10/11/2021 5:17PM

How did they factor in Patterson's decision? -- HokieBoy 10/11/2021 7:07PM

ND, Uga, OU - you’re right. We used to have a QB room. Not that level but… -- 3TechFanz 10/11/2021 5:03PM

Great points. Caleb Williams looks like the next great QB at Oklahoma. ** -- OrlandoHokie 10/11/2021 3:26PM

He was only a 5-star and the #2 rated QB in the country (rolling my eyes) ** -- HokieBoy 10/11/2021 4:05PM

Coached by my old roomate CB ** -- VTGungHO 10/11/2021 2:41PM

Why would you want that? Just curious ** -- ombandit 10/11/2021 4:16PM

If Shane has the same results there for USC he did for VT then -- hokiewasp 10/11/2021 5:10PM
