Connor Reilly is probably one of the top opponent qb's(per Notre Dame)

we will face.

I rewatched the game, I offer the following as proof:

1). Scrambling ability - he surprised me with his athletic ability, being able to scramble for 10-15 yards at will is impressive. He also avoided the rush better than most I've seen. I don't think Diaco expected that type of athleticism - looked to be a 4.7 guy which is fast for a qb

2). Arm - he has an nfl arm. The Hail Mary pass was 70 yards. He also was able make the out pattern throw and push the ball deep.

3). Accuracy - very strong for a college quarterback - he had a ton of drops over the course of the game otherwise he would have done even better. He sailed a few passes, but I think he will get better.

4). Game management - considering it was his 1st game, he has no int's and made a lot of good decisions. He threw a lot of great quick passes and made amazing decisions.

I'm trying to avoid hyperbole - but I think he'll be one of best qb's we will face all year. I think maybe Gardner and the ASU kid might be the only ones better. Maybe the Oklahoma kid, but I haven't seen him yet

Reilly's rise is a story to watch at Temple

Connor Reilly has never started a game for Temple, but Reilly made his mark on the Owls in every single contest over the past two seasons.

It was Reilly who led his teammates onto the field before kickoff, waving an American flag his father flew with as a squadron commander in the Army on several missions in Afghanistan. After the euphoria of each moment, Reilly retreated to the sideline, clipboard in hand, headset on to signal in the plays.


Howard Smith/USA TODAY SportsQuarterback Connor Reilly has led Temple onto the field before games. Now it appears he'll be leading the Owls in the huddle, too.
He never got much of an opportunity to win the starting job. For one, Reilly was relatively new to football, having picked up the game during his sophomore year of high school. For another, former coach Steve Addazio emphasized dual-threat quarterbacks in his spread system. Reilly was more of a pro-style kinda guy with a rocket for an arm, thanks to his baseball background.

Indeed, Reilly continued to play both sports last spring as Chris Coyer took the starting quarterback reps. And he continued to play both sports this year, too (though he has taken a two-week hiatus to focus on football). A new offensive emphasis under coach Matt Rhule, finally gave Reilly his opportunity.

Reilly's rise from last on the depth chart to first has been one of the biggest spring surprises in the league.

In the spring game this past weekend, Reilly went 25-of-41 for 366 yards and four touchdowns. Coyer -- the guy who used to get the signals from Reilly -- caught two of them in his new role as tight end/H-back.

Those are quite impressive passing numbers, when you consider just how poorly the Owls threw the ball last year. Yes, Temple was a run-first team. But when the Owls needed to pass the ball, they simply could not find any consistency. Temple ranked No. 116 in the nation in passing, and its quarterbacks completed an average of 52.5 percent of their passes. Only nine teams had a worse percentage.

Run-oriented Navy and Air Force posted better completion percentage numbers.

Perhaps more impressive, though, are these comments about Reilly from Rhule following the game Saturday: "I think what you see is, you see our team when he's out there kind of rallying around him and believe he's going to make a play."

Quarterback was one of the biggest question marks on this team headed into the spring, but it appears as if a guy who was not even in the discussion back in March has solidified his status atop the depth chart. Whether he continues to carry the U.S. flag onto the field this season remains to be seen.

But there seems to be little question that Reilly is a guy to root for when the season begins.

Who fukin cares, this aint a Lame board. To think yall could lose to Temple is pretty damn funny... I hope it happens. Geaux Connor Reilly.

 

The entire USA cares. The country does not revolve around Louisiana.

CLEARLY YOU'VE NOT SPENT THE TIME TO READ THESE ARTICLES (a learning disability)

 

A. I've read ur dumb as shit threads, and again all I can say is who fukin cares? Again no one here gives two shits about the Lame... remember the '06 Sugar?

B. If it doesn't concern LA who fukin cares? We are the center of the world.

Bye Bye

 

Not only are you incapable of debate but you have the manners, language of a sewer rat.

 

Says the guy who proposed that another poster has a learning disability because you declared he didn't read articles you posted.


One of the things I like about this board is that there are a variety of voices, including many from fans of other teams like @GiantDuckFan @TerryP @col reb and @TUSKtimes. Especially during the season there can be some good-natured smack talk going on and they all (just like us LSU fans) wear their team-colored glasses at times. But they rarely just up and try to cram their teams down our throats and almost never resort to name-calling.

I've worked with ND alums who are rabid fans and, generally to a man, they're class acts. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like that applies to you.

 

I'd seen a few people mention Notre Dame with this guy but hadn't taken the time to figure out why: no need now!

Thanks for the @! A few things make a lot more sense now.
