Troy Freaking Andersen!

[Hi-Line Bobcat]

Over/under of Rushing and sacks on Saturday?

You know he's playing RB saturday, or you just hope he does?

Someone whos been tight lipped as sh*t this year said TA will most likely play both ways Saturday, this is the first "news" I've got out of him since spring and he only told me after I asked about the McKay transfer. He also told me this spring Thelen was our best QB and I think Mellott has something to say about that. He did say TA has been taken reps at RB.

Interesting, thanks.
I agree that Thelen was the best passing QB in the spring game. I hated to see him leave, he'll be a good one IMO.

How did Thelen do this Fall? I have no idea.

I’m not sure either.

He didn’t play. He was beat out by Jet at the start of the year. He did get hurt though, but think it was in practice, but he wasn’t going to be the starter this year that’s for sure. My brother played at Tech, so it’s not speculation.

“Six dollars and my right nut says” he plays offense in the NFL

Anyone watching the smaller, slower, less accurate version of Troy playing against the Cowboys tonight? I think Troy can play on offense, even QB in a pinch, if a team wants him to.

Not to doubt Troy, but Taysom Hill ran a 4.44 40. He’s fast, fast.

True, but he doesn't look that fast with 21 other guys around him. At least in the second half (I wasn't really watching in the first half). I know Troy was playing against lesser competition but he always looked fast carrying the ball.

Hill looked plenty fast tonight. Not elite, but he can certainly hold his own rushing in the NFL.

I watched last night and there definitely was a comp for Troy playing last night. It isn’t Hill and he doesn’t play for the Saints.

Let’s pump the brakes a bit here. Parsons was the 12th overall pick and will likely be the nfl defensive rookie of the year.

Arizona LB Isaiah Simmons and Troy share some traits. No I'm not saying Troy is going in the 1st round like Simmons. He was much more refined as a defender but I believe Troy can get to that level. Their measurables match up.

I was saying he's a comp for Parsons, not that he is Parsons. However if you scroll down and read the scouting notes, his strengths and weaknesses, his measurables. They are very similar, eerily similer.

Simmons scouting profile: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/isaiah-si ... eeda539963

Measurables and strengths/weaknesses matches Troy's almost exactly.

He didn't win, but still made us all proud.

[coloradocat]

Definitely an honor just to be nominated as a finalist. Way to go Troy!

The winner has quite the impressive resume.

To the left of Troy in the standing photo (our right) is Aidin Hutchinson, the DE out of Michigan who may win the Heisman and has a chance to go #1 overall in the NFL draft. Anyway, Kolar is also one of the top TEs in the draft so Troy is in good company with this group. Great honor to even be a finalist!

Over/under of Rushing and sacks on Saturday?

You know he's playing RB saturday, or you just hope he does?

Someone whos been tight lipped as sh*t this year said TA will most likely play both ways Saturday, this is the first "news" I've got out of him since spring and he only told me after I asked about the McKay transfer. He also told me this spring Thelen was our best QB and I think Mellott has something to say about that. He did say TA has been taken reps at RB.

Interesting, thanks.
I agree that Thelen was the best passing QB in the spring game. I hated to see him leave, he'll be a good one IMO.

How did Thelen do this Fall? I have no idea.

I’m not sure either.

He got beat out by Jet Campbell at Tech for the starting spot. Then I heard he got injured at practice.

He was still just a freshman this fall, eligibility wise, correct? 3 years left?

They announce the Buck finalists today and I would bet an uncomfortable amount of $ that Troy is one.

Thelen may have had the best stats and may have looked like the best qb in the spring game, but he wasn’t the best qb on the team. Probably fifth best overall qb and fourth best passer.

This. I appreciate everything Thelen did here, but I saw all of the other scrimmages last spring and Thelen was just not going to play at MSU. He did have the best final scrimmage but did nothing in any other scrimmages.
