QB development: Oklahoma could have its 3rd Heisman winning QB in 5 years this season.
Lincoln Riley is a genius at turning out great QBs. If he had Tyler Buchner, he would do the same with him. There would be none of the usual liitany of caveats: he only played one season in high school; he's had a problem with mechanics in the past; he was injured before; and we don't want to throw him to the wolves too soon.
The huge difference is coaching: Lincoln Riley is a QB whisperer; Brian Kelly is a QB Terminator.

Playing in a very weak league really helps
Lincoln Smiley is not all that.
There are lots of programs out there, get help.

Yep, these QBs have all been so successful, when leaving the program for another school or NFL

Buchner wouldn’t start for Oklahoma for his first 2 years
Kyler Murray and his Heisman season: While Murray was a top recruit out of Allen (Texas) High School — where he went 43-0 as a starter and won three state championships — he struggled in a muddled quarterback situation at Texas A&M and then sat out a year after transferring to OU. He spent last season as the Mayfield’s backup, only throwing 21 passes. He wasn’t officially named Oklahoma’s starter until Aug. 22.
Baker Mayfield played a year for Texas Tech and then sat out a year before starting for Oklahoma so he was in his third year of college when he became their starter.
And none of them will have started for OU as a true freshman.
And if Buchner was playing for Riley, the fact that he only played one season of HS football (against low level competition) and hasn't played in a year and a half would keep him from starting at OU as a true freshman. You have to know that.
OU recruits top guys, they got Caleb Williams, Riley isn't dipping low like Kelly

Buchner was higher rated than OU’s 2018 and 2020 QBs.
It’s beside the point, though.
Can’t wait till Big Game works on his mechanics.

Oh, yeah. We all know you'll be pulling for the kid to fail.
Hopefully he succeeds. But you might get your chance to chortle. No sure things.
“Hopefully” , more than just hopefully...

Lincoln Riley recruited them he has a good track record, just like Weis had, Kelly does not

Who else

Sort of.
Riley got them to OU. But his 2 Heisman QBs transferred to OU, after being recruited to and playing at other programs, as did Jalen Hurts. But, again, it is beside the point. What I’m saying here in response to irishize is that even with Riley’s tutelage, it would be extremely unlikely Buchner would start as a true freshman.
Not one CFB coach is a “genius”. Do you understand how the Heisman is actually awarded?

Fact development:
How many NC’s did they win? How many playoff games were they in? /
In Playoffs: Twice as many appearances as ND.(4) Never out of Semis (Like ND). Have had a couple of
more competitive games. (Most notably double OT vs. Georgia.)
You shoud make your handle Rileyeyes and take your business to this web site until ND hires Riley
Come back when you get a coach you don't need to continually bash.

Kelly destroyed Phil Jurkovec and I don't want the same to happen to Buchner.
Kelly says he wants two things:
1. To graduate his players
2. To win national championships
The latter is not going to happen with PineCone. It " could " happen with Buchner, but he's not getting a fair chance.
Meritocracy supersedes all, or at least, it should.
Kelly plays QBs who give ND a lesser chance to win?

BS, big game molded him into what he was. His mechanics were all wrong when he recruited him...
( sarcasm) .
Again I'll ask, have you ever seen Buchner play?
(no message)
No he didn’t. Jurkovic makes bad reads consistently.

Phil's in a 12 step rehab program at BC to undo BK's damage.

Buchner is transferring?
