Wilbert Could Be Out for WKU...

Um, coach wanted to pull Wilbert two games ago.

The rest of the staff convinced him not to.



Yep, I heard this too.  I wonder why the whole team believes in him?  I truly dont know the answer.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

He's looked good in spurts… and in the first few games even when the offense wasn't moving forward he wasn't throwing many interceptions, he was throwing the ball away rather than getting the sack, etc.

I think the team just wants one guy to stick so they can build a relationship with him. Part of the reason why we were so successful with Rusty is because he and Gent/Harmon had such good chemistry. They knew where Rusty was going to put the ball and could make the necessary adjustments.

Four QBs now means four styles.

Rusty also had 3 years to work his WRs and build a chemistry. Did he make some bad passes? of course he did, what QB doesn't. But I don't think he's ever thrown 3-Pick 6's in one game

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Then me, owlcountry40, d-owl, and the delt boys can all skip hand in hand down the breezeway together singing the FAU fight song.

Wilbert completed 10 of 30 attempts for 95yrds, 0 TDs, 3 INTs against NORTH TEXAS.
Kooi completed 6 of 9 attempts for 70yrds, 1 TD, 0 INTs against NORTH TEXAS.

How can anyone still think that Wilbert is better than Kooi?

Even if Kooi's performance against NTwas a fluke, it can't possibly be worse than Wilbert's 88.8 passer rating.

At 0-5, Kooi should at least get the start for the 1st 1/2 against WKU. If he blows, put another QB in. It's not like we're playing for a title this season and experience matters.

I cant believe that Wilbert was still an option to start next game.  He has had an horrendous season, its like the coaches are rubbing salt in our wounds by keeping him in.  Maybe Kooi has a bad attitude, then ditch him after the season but right now we need to salvage what we have left.

Agreed.  Wilbert, while he may be a nice kid is not a DI QB…no way and no how.

One of the other 3 have to be more effective.  Or at least excite us with some new way of throwing pick 6's.

Ha ha, don't we have a lefty in there somewhere? I haven't seen a left handed pick six in ages!!  ;D

While it's not 100%, it sounds like Kooi might start against WKU, with Curtis as the backup.

I hope coach decides to give #10 some reps if it's a blowout against WKU.
