Boyle- Update: Transfers to EKU

[Bonehead]

Whitmer pretty much duplicated it side by side. How soon we forget.

I know its tough to see the numbers when watching on 13'' black and white with Rabbit Ears...

I wont post the numbers - its a Tim Post.

Wow...that sucks. I feel bad for Boyle. But...knowing Mauk's history...he will screw up again and get suspended. I hope Boyle gets his chance to play. It really did feel like there was no way he could be successful at UConn....hopefully new scenery will help him shed the baggage he seemed to be carrying.

Isn't Boyle sitting out 2016? I don't think it will affect him at all...

Love to be a fly on the wall when they talk about UConn's almost upset of Mizzou last year, especially the fake field goal.

You may very well be right but why would he sit out in 2016? He doesn't have to sit out since he is dropping from FBS to FCS. Is he redshirting there?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

While I doubt he was planning on sitting out a year I imagine (if Mauk wins the starters job) that he would red shirt and start a year down the road.

I know Bonehead will jump all over this, but...

What do you all think?

Tim did all that was asked of him and made an important contribution to the team. I wish him all the best and every success.

There's no reason Boyle can't beat out Mauk. It's moot at this point anyways. EKU returns their starter from 2015. So unless either Mauk or Boyle shine like the sun in fall camp, they are competing for #2. At least Boyle has the opportunity to redshirt, although he would be able to play immediately with the change to FCS. Mauk already redshirted.

Weird, why did EKU take on 2 QB transfers who were both technically seniors with a returning starting QB? Boyle must be redshirting, this is not looking good for him otherwise.

I can't believe you'd make this comment at this point in time. Just unbelievable.

Fun fact- EKU's starting QB is a former Cincinnati QB Bennie Coney. He was a 4 star recruit coming out of HS. He played 2 games in 2013, one against UConn where he played 5 snaps and had a pick and an INT returned for a TD. I believe Boyle also had the best game of his career that game.

I guess he would, but doesn't that seem kinda ridiculous? At that point I feel like you'd just wanna cut your losses and get on with life rather than having a shot at playing one year of FCS ball. Crappy situation for him, but redshirting and spending another year in college just seems a bit much

It's not only the timing and relevance (or lack thereof) of his post. We've seen enough of both Boyle and Whitmer on the field. Does anyone other than Pal think that Whitmer wasn't clearly the better QB?

Pal went from stating unequivocally that Boyle was better to then claim he never said that to now saying they were the same player. Beem me up Scotty.

OT, but where have you been Serrano? Is it just me, or are you posting less?

It's a busy time of year for him right now.

Been around. After years on the Yard one needs to take some breaks every now and then. This place can grind you down. Some of the vets on the board know what I mean.
