One additional positive aspect of the QB situation is McCoy will get game experience with the new teammates and in the new offense. If something goes wrong, they have Ben to step in during the season instead of vice versa. It's probably not all that easy for Ben but he's a great backup option IMO.

“Captain” Ben is also surprised. Was there an interview or quote of him saying this? Or just speculating that after being voted a captain and being the 5th year guy that he probably is considering the circumstances? Just me. It’s how I would feel. But I get it; the position is fluid and the captaincy is a sign of respect. It’s just weird to me.

I trust the coaches to make the right pick, but it's nice that their pick racked up good numbers and high accolades as a freshman and then again as a sophomore. He sounds like a good field general. And all three guys started on the same page and he pulled ahead. I've got some hope for the offense.

They call him a dual threat QB on Beavers Edge, but he didn't run a lot at Idaho, and his career rushing avg is a paltry 1.7 yards! He averaged 2.1 last season even after being sacked 24 times. 6 of those for -40 yards against Montana....88 attempts and his longest run was 40....So.... numbers can be deceiving.

Negative yardage when sacked, should not count against rushing yardage......it's dumb

Negative yardage when sacked, should not count against rushing yardage......it's dumb They count it against passing yardage in the NFL. So, a QB may throw for 300 yards, but his passing yards total might say 267 if you include sacks. I agree its dumb to take it out of rushing yards total unless it's a running play. www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401671909

Particularly painful for the couple teams that do kneel downs from shotgun or pistol formations (horrible idea but I have seen it...)

Dudes like 180 lbs.....I can't imagine he'll be running a whole lot, unless it's for his life

If his skills can translate to this level, great! But I will just say:

If his skills can translate to this level, great! But I will just say: I'm seeing anywhere between o 6'0 and 6'2 on McCoy's height. The weight is pretty consistent from what I've seen so far. 6'2 and 185 was about Matt Moore's size when he got here from what I recall. Ended up putting on about an inch and 25 pounds eventually. Not that it mean's McCoy will be great and a Pro, but Moore got pretty beat up his first season here... 58 percent, 11 TDs and 19 Ints (by the way, how do those compare to DJU's stats? Moore had been with the Beavers 20/21 months before his first game in 2006).

Moore had been with the Beavers 20/21 months before his first game in 2006). Matt Moore was 6'4" 191 lbs., when he got to Corvallis. Moore ran 219 lbs. in the NFL. Moore enrolled Winter Term 2005, so he had been at Oregon State about eight months before his first start in 2005. And Moore had been at Oregon State about 20 months before his first start in 2006. DJU had a lower completion rate, 57%. But 21 touchdowns to 7 interceptions. And DJU had six additional rushing touchdowns and no fumbles. 27 touchdowns to 7 interceptions. DJU had the five-touchdown game against Cal, the seventh Oregon State quarterback with a 5+ touchdown game. Moore never had a 5+ touchdown game. Most touchdowns in a season: 1. Sean Mannion 2013 37 2. Derek Anderson 2004 29 3. Jake Luton 2019 28 4. Derek Anderson 2002 & 2003 25 6. DJ Uiagalelei 2023 21 6. Sean Canfield 2009 21
According to the media guide, highest average yards per play:
1. Terry Baker (1960-62) 6.61 (753 plays, 4,979 yards)
However, in actuality, the media guide is almost always riddled with misstatements, and this is one, because
1. DJ Uiagalelei (2023) 7.50 (248 plays, 2,857 yards) 2. Terry Baker (1960-62) 6.61 (753 plays, 4,979 yards)
