It's official: Wassink is our starter
Jack Doles (WOOD TV8) reporting that Lester has confirmed Wassink is our starter and citing this for Flacco's departure.

RE: It's official: Wassink is our starter
Now that we have that out of the way....what does the rest of the QB depth chart look like?

I see it as:

1. Jon Wassink - Confirmed starter. Big arm. Also a really good runner. Lots of potential.
2. Alex Mussat - Great HS tape, big physical runner. May be a better runner than he is a passer, but not a bad passer either.
3. Brendan Tabone - Smaller frame. Won 2 state championships as QB for Orchard Lake St. Mary's, had 26-3 record there against good competition.
4. Reece Goddard - No reason to burn a redshirt unless absolutely needed. Big potential. Great athlete. Could do great things in the future. Another state champion. 44(!) passing TDs, 14 rushing TDs in two years of varsity ball.
5. Chris Riddle - Good athlete out of competitive Florida. Staff will probably be careful with him at first, make sure he's healed from injury.

I think that Goddard is going to be the official back up by the start of the season... and I don't see him sitting there quietly...

This is possible with Flacco out of the picture. Right now it's Wassink and then walk-ons at 2nd and 3rd string. I could see the staff throwing Goddard into the fire if the situation gets dire enough. Wassink goes down with an injury...Goddard might be the new starter.

Thankfully we have a stellar offensive line to protect him.

Just like Terrell, I think Wassink's first collegiate pass goes for a TD on the road against a P5. 04-cheers

Spread 'em and shred 'em!

From what I've heard about Wassink, he should do well in this offense.

Here are some highlights of IU's win over MSU last season. We are gonna like this offense once the players get adjusted and get their timing. Gonna take several games for that to happen and some inevitable "hic-ups," but we should be fine by the time the conference season begins.

Phillips returns one to their 35.

35-yard swing pass to Jarvion Franklin where he trucks one safety and dives past the other one en route to the pylon.

And then I grab a USC cheerleader and kiss her, and she tells me she wants more. I tell her only if Wassink can follow up on that in the next drive. :)

That's the thing. New WRs with a new QB, and this new (good) OC coming in. I can't realistically believe it's going to be on-point in the opening game at USC.

Here's some good insight on the character of our QB. Anyone have anything on how he looked in Saturday's open practice?

It looks like we are replacing Zach Terrell with Zach Terrell. I hope he has the same courage in the pocket that ZT had, and can maintain the composure when defenders are closing in, then deliver a good pass to open receivers. I am liking everything I hear about this kid though.

I cant wait for the season to start.
