One last QB Thought....

Reading through John Wagner's article in The Blade on the QB situation...Coach made an interesting point I have not seen elsewhere. He reminds us that Schilz was not completely healthy last year and his performance needs to be viewed in that light...and then he said this.

“This year we won’t play a quarterback that isn’t at 100 percent health-wise. We’ll have another guy ready."
This is important.  Schilz (to his credit) has played through nagging injuries before and it has limited his effectiveness.  Knowing that this year we have the ability to get a healthy QB on the field no matter what is important.

Finally, one thing that was mentioned in all the articles I have seen is that James Knapke is also very effective and it sounds like he could play if need be.  BG may not have a first-team All-MAC QB, but there is depth at the position.
