I can confirm.

I really can't, but it was fun to say it.

You'd think this experienced staff could recruit and develop a high school QB.

you'd think they could recruit and develop offensive linemen too....

Of all the positions, I THINK that O-line is the hardest to evaluate out of High School, and one of the toughest to teach in College. With the move to more of a spread offense that MOST teams use in one way or another. To get that down, and to learn basically 2-3 different types of play, sometimes 3 different techniques in 3 downs... You have to zone block one play, shotgun pass block in the 2nd, and then gap block the 3rd... Imagine doing all that, while also reading the defense for the call, AND trying to "Guess" if you should double team if the RB or QB decide to take the 2nd read instead of the 1st read...

And yet teams still produce All BSC and All American O-linemen...

It is and has been a Griz problem for years.

I didn't say it was impossible, just that it is hard... I honestly don't know why the griz have struggled. Could be bad luck on the injury front? Or maybe the lack of consistency on the offensive side? All sorts of reasons I guess.

It would be amazing if powers just decided...Nope, there just are no OL that deserve accolades.

probably 86.4% of high schools run some version of the RPO/spread offense. Theyr'e not seeing it for the first time in college. That's a giant red herring.

Carson Baker or Robby Rowell would be nice. Coaches were talking to both before Johnson. And Baker already beat out Johnson once at SDSU

True... But no RPO in High School is nearly as complicated as D1 football... Again, just from what I have watched in the High School games I cover.

You should have seen our 6man playbook. Everyone eligible for a pass!
 
Interesting. Sounds like a very motivated young man, and team-player. Wishing him good luck.

Just saw that he will be remaining at the UM as the sports videographer
Click to expand...

. . . Patterson decided to take the plunge into working in video, which has been a longtime hobby of his. He’s been a videography intern for the UM athletic department this semester and just may have found his future career. “I’m super happy that I did it,” he said, “because I probably never would have really put into fruition this passion that I’ve kind of discovered.”
Patterson was still out at spring football practice last week. Instead of taking snaps and making throws, he was filming those passes and catches and the play in the trenches. He then created both highlight videos shared on the football team’s Twitter account last week.
