All hail Blake Bell!

[7NationalChampionships]

Even though they didn't let him pass the ball, the team and crowd came alive when he stepped onto the field. I think he is the best qb for this team, the players obviously rally behind him.

 

[KansasSooner]

Of course the players do, he has proven his worth the last two years.

knight is not ready. bell is and you are right the team got pumped up when he went in .

 

[romeo212000]

Time to give bell a shot and you better let him get a full start in with them heading to south bend and TCU coming to town very soon.

 

[outlaw okie]

He just looks like a starting QB.

I think the team would play well around him and you'll see some passing out of Bell if he starts next game.

 

[romeo212000]

The problem is, it won't matter that much whether bell is taking the snaps or not if heupel doesn't get his head out of his ass.

One thing you can say about bell, the dude is a gamer.

Lol I was driving home from work last night and I was listening to the game on the radio and the coach was pissed off at Heupel cause he called 3 running plays in a row, I guess it was the same play 3 times in a row, they just moved the backs around, it was in the 3rd quarter, he goes "I just don't understand this play calling, that looks like the same play they just ran". Lol

So is this how stoops is going to justify Knight's performance and starting knight against Tulsa next week?

Even the sportswriters are saying it's time for Bell to get a chance.

I'm getting pretty irritated that knight is taking all the heat, and heupel's abysmal play calling is getting almost no attention. Any one of us could've called a better game than he did yesterday.

 

[KansasSooner]

I mentioned in another thread I haven't been pleased with the play calling since Heupel took over as OC. And in other news Colvin broke an upper molar and has sore jaw.

Yeah, that's what we need!

I agree, I've never cared for Heupel's play calling. It should be getting better by now, but its not and he better be on the hot seat this season.

You're right about that...the entire stadium went nut's. It was like everyone was just waiting for that moment to happen. The need for some kind of spark. The sucky part is Bell, went in at the beginning of the fourth quarter and threw only one pass, (a dropped swing pass by Clay). The rest were hand off other than a couple of runs by Bell himself.

Which was actually the right move from a purely strategic standpoint.

 

[outofyourmind]

Here's the problem.
Bob has a history of letting his OC's be dumbasses.
Don't think that will change without some outside influence.

Mangino!

 

[outofyourmind]

Mangino!

Hey, I agree, but Mangino wasn't a dumbass.

 

[KansasSooner]

Yeah, but with weapons Bell would have around him I think Mangio would turn that offense into a juggernaut.
