Zeb Noland transferring

[Cycsk]

Pretty interesting Zeb Noland story..Not something you see everyday

After 2 years at NDSU, Zeb decided to be done playing and is a GA at South Carolina.
Due to a number of injuries, transfers, etc, South Carolina was pretty thin in the QB room. So they are moving Zeb from GA to QB, competing for playing time.


Football scoop has a good outline for how USC got to where they are at, plus there's the timeline of Zeb's time at ISU.

A South Carolina GA is now competing for the starting QB job

Zeb Noland left North Dakota State for South Carolina to begin his coaching career. Now he's back in pads, days away from possibly playing as an SEC quarterback.

Zeb Noland has had a very interesting journey. It would be fantastic if his playing career ends with spectacular success in the SEC (being a Georgia kid).

He was real, real bad when NDSU tried to roll him out this spring. Looked absolutely lost.

Young man has had quite a ride. Wish him well.

Seconded. Part of a couple games I watched of that spring ball season, he did not look good… at all. That offense had no rhythm.

Whatever the over under is for South Carolina. I'm strongly considering HAMMERING the under

If he becomes the starter, I will make SC my second favorite team. Would be a cool story if he did well.

Not going to convince you otherwise, but I wonder what Oklahoma thought in 2017 when we trotted out our 3rd string walk-on QB with zero game experience after our starter quits the team the week prior?
If the right culture is in place, SC might be just fine

I actually think they win 4. But those 4 wins would be from Eastern Illinois, Eastern Carolina, Troy and Vandy.. They are going to STINK but that non-con schedule is a JOKE with the Clemson exemption.. Wish ISU only had to play 8 Big 12 games and schedule another UNLV game

current dk line on O/U is 4 … seems risky given SEC schools like their cupcake schedules

I'd bet the under. You get push insurance from the 3.5 line and they are pulling in GA's to play QB with 2 weeks until the opener

If he looks terrible in an FCS spring game I find it hard to believe he would even be remotely adequate on a poor SEC team. They might win 2 games. The guy is a 3rd string FCS QB.

What is your second favorite team right now that SC would replace due to a rando starting QB that once went to ISU?

Can't say that I have one. I just loved random stories like that, especially if it turns into a redemption story.

This can't help but remind me of back in the dark days of Iowa State Women's Basketball a team manager ended up suiting up and playing the rest of the season. I think her name was Jenny Hobbs.

Was she related to Roy?

She used to carry a homemade basketball around with her. They called it "wonderball".

Naturally.

Makes sense.

 

[VeloClone]

Was she related to Roy?

I just googled her and by her twitter it looks like she is a science teacher in Keota, Ia.

It was cool for her to get the chance to play the game she loved, but it was a sad commentary on how low the program had dropped. That was about the time Theresa Becker gave up on the program and resigned as head coach to go back to Nebraska as an assistant. Good thing she did since ISU then poached the Toledo coach who turned the program around.

Is there an actual chance he plays? Or is this a depth thing?
