Two Keys To The Championship

[Notalot]

Pat Narduzzi, the Head Coach at Pitt, was quoted this week by Zach Ragan of AtoZ Sports .

 

Narduzzi said, "I think there are two things that are key to having a championship-level football team -- dominating the trenches and having great Quarterback development.

 

In the article Narduzzi is recognizing Hendon Hooker's improvements under Josh Huepel and quarterback whisperer, Joey Halzle.

 

Will head coaches in a few years make similar observations and compliments about QB development at Oregon?

Notalot, thanks for posting the article.  Controlling the line of scrimmage (on both sides of the line) and great QB play certainly are the recipe for winning football games.

 

The Ducks experienced offensive line has that capability. To early to tell about our D line. Takes practice and playing time together to gel. New system, new faces? Gonna take some time.

 

Now we come to QB development and great QB play. 3 new Duck head coaches and multiple offensive coordinators bringing in new schemes and new systems is not a recipe for QB development! Narduzzi pointed out that Tennessee had 10 different QB coaches in 15 years. The result was not good on the field. Back to back QB transfers for the Ducks speaks volumes about QB development within the program. 

 

TT and JB not getting playing time may be a sign that they may not be developing. Or do they fit the new system? Another point that Narduzzi made was that when Hendon Hooker transferred from Virginia Tech to the Vols, he fit their system.

 

TT and JB are basically true freshmen in Dilly's system. Could be they need more time to master the schemes nuances.

 

GO DUCKS.........
