ASU @ Missouri

[Gaddabout]

Before you celebrate, Franklin probably isn't injured, or at least badly injured. Berkstresser may have just earned the start. He's a big kid who can really throw the ball. Highly regarded out of high school. Can run a bit, too.

Not celebrating, but anytime you're playing an inexperienced QB, you've to think thats an advantage.

Plus if you're saying ASU has to either play a scrambling QB (Franklin) or a more big armed QB who can run just a little (say an Osweiler type) I think ASUs current defense fairs better against the latter guy.

Where are the rumors coming from? Not seeing anything on the interwebs.

Berk is said to be identical to Franklin and all the other, previous QBs under Pinkel (Gabbert, Daniels, etc.). I suspect the kid can run like a RB. Especially at 6-3/220.

Thats not what Ive been reading on the Mizzou boards. They're portraying him more like a strong armed QB who can run a bit if he needs to, but running isn't his main weapon.

Looks like we'll find out though!

Here's what ESPN says about him:

Berkstresser is essentially a pocket passer in the shotgun spread offense. He is a deceptive athlete, but he is a passer first, runner as a complement. He has very good size and more bulk and stature than you will see from most QB's at this stage.

Well looks like LB Carlos Mendoza will need shoulder surgery and is out for the year. That sucks. At least he can think about those 2 INT's during his time off.

That sucks , I had that surgery last year and it is brutal. I had to have 3 anchors put in and I have never felt such pain in m life.

Here's what ESPN says about him:

It's admittedly difficult getting a read on a player I haven't seen while trying to wade through the unbelievably thick Missouri myopia. Most of them seem to think this is a cakewalk game even if they have to trot Richmond High School out there against us.

TigerBoard poster says it's Franklin's elbow, he could play with a shot but refused, not very popular with teammates. Teammates seem to be rallying around the freshman.

Thanks for the info guys. Your Google skills are far superior to mine!

Its less about Google skills and more about willing to wade through a pile of this:

the unbelievably thick Missouri myopia.

I'm all for safety, but being able to duck your head to get a helmet to helmet penalty is idiotic.

Agree. That play was not the reason the rule was devised. Also, my least favorite uniform's.

 

[clif]

That was a catch!

 

[clif]

What the hell

 

[Jim Hart]

Not a catch.

The maroon doesn't look right on the white uniforms. It looks close to purple.

 

[Mainstreet]

That third down pass by ASU was a completion and the receiver was clearly down.

I'm not liking the officiating.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Thanks for showing up Miles...

 

[Mainstreet]

I believe the second fumble by Miles this season.

 

[Jim Hart]

Rough start. We have to make a statement with this next drive.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

I believe the second fumble by Miles this season.

He had a bad one in the red zone last week.

 

[Jim Hart]

Oh man. Kelly locked onto on fella. Need a TO like now.

 

[Jim Hart]

Erickson coaching today?

This one already looks like every other ASU road game
