GA State is a perfect time to let the kid toss the rock. And I'm not talking about mop up duty. Give opposing defensive coordinators another thing to to think about. So if any of yinzers see 'coach' tell him. Now get 'er done!
Tommy Stephens
- Thread starter Cosmos
- Start date
No. Let's not throw off (pun intended) our winning QB before Iowa.
I would like to see him come in after Trace ran a couple series. Let Stevens then come in and allow him to work with the first team. It would be nice to see him in control of a real game condition utilizing all the weapons that the game plan calls for.
Iowa could be the biggest upset challenge this team faces and a great primer for playing at OSU yet the idea is to have the starting qb sit for three quarters before that game so he can be completely off vs Iowa....makes sense....Im all for giving him the 4th qtr tho or a half if we're up 50-0.
Oh, heck yeah - let's create a quarterback controversy because our all-conference, Heisman candidate starting QB had the jitters against Pitt right as we head into the conference schedule. Sounds like a fantastic idea.
We could be just like OSU heading into Oklahoma...that worked great for the Buckeyes
I enjoy that Tommy Stevens is trying to pick up supermodels on twitter and that Chad Ochocinco has joined the effort to help him out.
I would rather see the game be used to get any bugs out that Trace may be having and to work on our deep ball. I would still like to see Tommy used in third and short situations...he's bigger than Trace. Kind of like Florida used Tebow in his freshman year.

I like it. But Tebow was huge and virtually unstoppable in short yardage situations. Stevens is built more like a QB.
True, but he's still bigger and stronger than Trace. That run he had last year showed he can grind out a couple of yards when needed.

Trace is the starter and as such has earned the right to play. That's why these guys compete in practice to get to the top of the depth chart. I have no problem putting in Tommy for a few packages to give the D coordinator another thing to worry about. But Trace should play well into the 3rd quarter of even a blow-out. Then hopefully Tommy can get a few series in Q4.
Thought about a similar thread on Sanders. Nice to have some success with the first unit to really get him rolling and get past the fumble issue.
If we're up 21 or more in the 2nd qt, maybe play Stevens for a series or two. Give him some experience, reward his hard work, and scare the bejebbers outta D coordinators! Or would it better to not show what he can do so we surprise the DCs when needed at a later date?
Thats why I am not coach.....

This STEVENS stuff is outta control, let him play in mop up time, thinking we need him to play before that is crazy. Trace the STARTING QB is 13-3 as our starter at Penn State he's a Junior, he will be back next year. Stevens can either wait his turn or transfer it's as simple as that. Jesus is STEVENS was light years better than Trace guess what?? He'd be the starter
Personally, based on his resume, I don't believe Tommy Stephens will be able to get the job done on the football field, however, if we need a quality accountant, then I think we've found our man: http://www.k2e.com/training/instructors/list/207-thomas-g-stephens-jr-cpa-citp
Being sophisticated I don't know what a "yinzer" is but not necessary, Parsons will be on campus, he can tell the coach.
Yes! And Shanika Bartley can play in goal and stop the pucks from getting through.
