If I'm Jake Browning, I'm all over that matchup. It's by far our weakest link on D. I've seen enough of Broussard...he's a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if he jumped MW this year at all. I wouldn't. In fact, if Stidham goes down, I expect Sandberg to take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If pressed into the starter role, Sandberg takes over. Can't disagree with Ruffin...wasn't a good DB, but if Broussard is pressed into a starting role, we are looking at 2010 Neiko Thorpe type results, but much worse. #standbyyourpredictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Sandberg, we've got a guy who has been away from football for five years. Borderline four star back then and with none of his in-state schools interested he committed to MSU. The only thing he brings to the table that the others don't is five years of age and the accompanying life experience. He's listed last on the depth chart for a reason. Here's hoping that in time he'll be a plus on the field but I think his time is some years down the road and would involve injuries to Nix, Willis and probably Gatewood too.

Thought we're not at practice and we don't know what the players are actually capable of? Sandberg's senior season passing stats in high school: 70% completion, 2674 yards, 35 TDs, 1 INT, QBR 140.6 Rushing stats: 99 carries, 611 yards, 10 TDs Gatewood's senior season passing stats: 68.5% completion, 1425 yards, 12 TDs, 1 INT, QBR 115.8 Rushing stats: 166 carries, 1108 yards, 16 TDs Willis's senior season passing stats: 60% completion, 2562 yards, 27 TSs, 9 INTs, QBR 104.9 Rushing stats: 104 carries, 1033 yards, 10 TDs Sandberg's 6'3 215 and committed to the same MSU coach that Cam Newton, Dak Prescott and Nick Fitzgerald did. Same guy who coached Tim Tebow, btw. (In other words, a guy who has done a much better job of recruiting and developing QBs than Gus Malzahn has.) He can run AND throw. He was statistically a better high school QB than the other two. There's absolutely no reason to assume he won't beat them out before next fall.

So his stats are a little skewed by that. You could argue why he split time, but there’s been lots of debate on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not crapping on JG. Dude could have gone anywhere but he chose Auburn early and stuck with us. He's obviously a phenomenal athlete and human being. It's been my hope that he gets reps in the Wildcat this fall and is able to leverage that experience into having a better chance at being QB1. I'm just going against the silly notion that Sandberg has no shot at the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanders committed to MSU because most schools thought he was going in the MLB Draft and didn't want to tie up a spot with him in the signing class only to lose him three months later. Miss St took a flyer on him and crossed their fingers that they'd get lucky, which they didn't. It wasn't that no one wanted him as a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Also funny that a "borderline 4*" with 14 offers, including 5 from the SEC- including one from Auburn- has no chance at beating out a 3* with 14 offers- ours being the only one in the SEC and one of only 3 P5 offers- and who was listed as an athlete by the recruiting services and not a QB. Or a guy who has been discussed as a potential future tight end from day 1 and who didn't start outright for his high school team. Again, just pointing out dumb comments about one player, not crapping on the others. They're all Auburn dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
