Open practice this Saturday at 7pm. Gates open at 6:30 Here's the next to last line of an emailed letter from Patterson (others likely got this as well). I wish I was in town. "I would like to personally invite you to practice this Saturday, Aug. 13, from 7-9 p.m. We would love to have you and your family come out and cheer on these young men who are working extremely hard."

Wish we could see more of practice, but was impressed and happy with the email from KP.

[quote author=" mavsman53" source="/post/ 59787/thread" timestamp="1660077112"]I'm honestly not trying to pick, but it's an honest question. How do we know Mansell throws a heavy ball? What players have been spoken to about this? Mansell was set up last year to be the backup, running QB. That was his role. Then Earle got hurt and his role changed. Our offense was terrible and I do not lay most of that on the players feet. The offense was extremely vanilla and easy to figure out. One of the biggest statements said by Coach Lee was Kobe was moving back to his natural role as a slot receiver. That is critical. Why? If the majority of your WRs are small in stature, rarely will they win on down the field throws. You don't ever throw a jump ball, as we aren't going to win those. Again, I'm not trying to pick a fight. Maybe we needed a better offense. Maybe we needed better WRs. Maybe we needed taller/faster players. Maybe Mansell does throw a heavy ball and none of our guys can catch it. I have no dog in this fight. May the best QB win and let's get behind that QB.[/quote][/b] Exactly.

In reading about Ethan Long, I like that he has shown an ability and willingness to play anywhere to get on the field. He played in lots of games at Arizona State -- as the holder, on special teams and a bit at QB. McIvor never saw the field in any way in 3 years at TTU. Even is Long does not get the QB job, I love seeing that he could be a seasoned field goal/PAT holder.

Offensive Coordinator Stephen Lee had good things to say about all three QBs in the Quarterback Position Preview, but Mansell being named a team captain means he is the leader in the position so far.

My bet is Mansell will start the season. Coaches in spite of what they say before the season start almost always go with the senior especially if he was the previous year’s starter and a team leader. Mandela definitely fills these qualifications. However, Long is right behind him. I was really impressed with Long’s performance in the open practice when he carried the the team down the field for a touchdown his first drive.

Mansell was very effective running the ball as the "change of pace" QB last year. In the interview, it is mentioned that McIvor has a great arm. Coach Lee is known as an innovator -- might we see some kind of rotation that gets all three of the QB's game time? I also think it was cool that he mentions something positive about the 4th team QB.

Well, I guess that takes care of any other guessing on my part!
