According to The Post, Poulos "edged out" Levi Davis. I'm guessing the reporter was just throwing that out there with little research.
Pete Thamel said it came down to Poulus and Vezza. So QB2 must be close, which is what most of us thought anyway.
No surprise. At least not to me. He's the veteran. He's massive. Going on the road to not necessarily winnable - but there's a path to an upset (Coming for you again, Colandrea) - going with Poulus makes the most sense.
I still expect to see Vezza in that game, and wouldn't be remotely shocked if he was the starter come MAC play. Hopefully, Poulus is doing so good we don't need to think about QB2/QB3, but Vezza is nice. He just needs to catch up presumably to Poulus biggest strengths, which is playbook knowledge, WR timing, and ability to read the defense quickly. The redshirt era is dead, but I think Davis needs some time. And Vezza is just a JR.
Time for the defense to show up and show out.
I'm optimistic for this year. And more optimistic on the road vs a Big 10 opponent than I normally would be. Probably more of a cover than a win, but as always - happy to see a yardstick game. Excited to see the defense eat up Colandrea. Lets break off the rust, see where the dust settles. We have a strong opportunity to start the season 3-1. Then circle the calendar for Kent State. Let's make a little noise, shall we?
