I think that the list loses fidelity after McGough. Regarding the rest of the list, the starter is a guess in some cases. See article for those being pushed. There are a lot of P5 transfers who will be in the mix for starting jobs it seems.

78. Fishback, WKU

124. Olsen, Charlotte
126. German, Rice

it's going to be interesting if hop lets him read/option more and him run....

sr year.....I'd roll the dice knowing he isn't a chicken-shite

I think Litton is a little underrated... Perhaps not as high as the other two... But I think as far as value to the team...higher...

only b/c you're homerin' ....and I like Litton....he has the tools to move forward

when it's all said and done, all that matters is who wins the most games...

all these ranking threads don't mean dick at the end of the day...

unless one thinks fantasy football and projections are worthy in the read/option

No..id rank him 3rd...maybe 4th depending on how WKUs starter turns out....hell... He's a sophomore... I think he's going to surpass Cato when it's all said and done... Just imho

like I said....I like the kid and how he manages (especially out of the pocket)....

If Stock stays healthy and progresses he could be a top 10 QB on lists like these his senior year.

Haha. Fishback listed. Not even sure he will see the field at this point.

No surprise that our QB is in the Top 5.

Why? Did Doughty get another year of eligibility?

These rankings can be a bit silly...look at #4, he may not have the starting job but he is #4

4. Seth Russell, Baylor

A neck injury ended Russell’s 2015 season in late October. But prior to the injury, Russell was setting a torrid pace, tossing 29 scores and only six picks on 200 attempts. Can he hold off Jarrett Stidham for the starting job?

Ha this is a waste of time for me...FIshback may end up being our 3rd string QB...I obviously could be wrong and I don't expect Doughty like numbers, but I do think this season we see this is about a system Brohm employs to have success....

I briefly started drooling until I read that a bit closer...

Not that I really have a problem with the ranking (hard to gauge a new qb), I'm just curious why they picked German instead of our backup last year Stehling?

If you just look at this as a CUSA ranking, I'm fine with Litton being #3. I wouldn't put him over Mullens or Stockstill based on last season's performances. Litton did REALLY well for a true freshman, don't get me wrong. I think if he'd started at the beginning of the season rather than game 3, he might've been able to jump one or both to get #1 or #2 QB in CUSA, but Mullens was an absolute beast this past season. Really glad he's doing well for Southern Miss.

Plus, the way I see it, is having a QB in this (BS or not) top 50 is pretty damn good for a G5 program where he's going to be a true sophomore next season.

I agree. I would put him 3rd... Just hope he avoids a sophomore slump.

Can you refer to FAU and FIU as what they are called. The F_U is lazy and ignorant.

Complaining about it isn't going to help, the people that use name smack know what they're doing.

A metric I find extremely valuable FWIW. Interceptions per attempt

Stockstill: 1 in 54
McGough: 1 in 52
Litton: 1 in 48
Mullens: 1 in 43
