That aside, I do disagree on the play time assumption. As mentioned BSU have 4 returning QB’s. At senior is Hamdan who was actually favored to start last year over Tharp but was too inconsistent. Then at Junior is a 6′7″ guy named Nick Lomax. Perhaps you’ve heard of his dad, Neil Lomax, he’s in the hall of fame. Then at sophomore is a highly ranked QB from San Diego, 6′5″ Coughlin. He’s so talented he actually made the back up spot (#2) behind Tharp last year as a freshman. Last but not least is Moore. A redshirt freshman from Washington the state’s Gatorade AND Washington player of the year, broke the state record for yards and td’s in a year, two years in a row. He threw 66 tds as a junior (state record) and then 67 as a senior, breaking his own record. From what I hear he was lighting it up in practices.

The point is, BSU has loads of depth at QB and I wager a new recruit would have to work harder for play time at BSU than at Pitt. Case in point, elite 11 QB Cody Hawkins from Boise was going to Grey shirt at BSU. Instead he ended up going to Colorado where he started as a freshman. At BSU he would have been 4th or 5th on the chart. In fact many think the reason Renfree chose Duke over ASU and BSU is for that very reason. ASU and BSU both have a load of QB’s. At Duke Renfree was to the top player right away.

BSU fans across the country are good people. This young man would do well in Boise with it’s pro style offense and Coach Pete an company’s ability to get the most out of each player.

Good luck in your decision. Either way, thanks for considering the great Boise State University as your home for the next few years Mr. Stoudt.
