UNI names its starting QB for next week
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Other than this kid who else on UNI will be some of the better players that will play for them? Also heard UNI had a massive Oline?
So, 3 years ago, there was a similar "who is UNI gonna start at QB?" thread on here. One of the possibilities was RSo Eli Dunne (a former student of mine from Grinnell HS). His dad was the ex-AD at the high school and I am good friends with him. During the week leading up to that game, he told some of our HS staff that Farley indicated to Eli that he would be starting (but said nothing to reporters). I even shared this "inside info" on this site. Turned out NOT to be true.
So, here's what I think could happen on the 31st. McinPain will truly start the game, but then on the second series (or sometime shortly after that) we will see a different QB to try to throw different looks at our defense. This is NOT insider info - just trying to think why Farley might have announced the starter so early.

That kind of surprises me. Out of these QBs at UNI, which one would you think would be their starter?
But as we all know very well at ISU.... size isn't everything. Purdy isn't much bigger at all.
I'll go with the little guy with the BOLD hair stylings....
Offensively, UNI has an All American TE in Briley Moore. Good speed, physical, probably an NFL guy. Lots of long receivers led by Jaylin James, Isaiah Weston, Jalen Rima and Logan Wolf. Very good slot guy in Deion McShane that would have been a P5 guy if he wasn't 5-6 160.
Offensive Line is huge-
LT- Matthew VanderSlice 6-8 290 Soph
LG- Jackson Scott-Brown 6-4 320 Sr (Will be drafted)
C- Mason Neisen 6-5 340 Soph
RG- Nick Ellis 6-4 325 Jr
RT- Spencer Brown 6-9 320 Jr
Running back is the question mark. Trevor Allen is the only one with any real experience. Alphonso Soko, Tyler Hoosman and Minnesota transfer Nick McCabe may/should also get touches.
Defensively, two very good tackles in Tim Butcher and Jared Brinkman. Elerson Smith is a pass rusher that will start at one end, the other end will be by committee.
Linebackers are inexperienced. All American Chris Kolarevic has missed all of camp with a foot injury and I don't expect him to play. They'll start Jr Alfonso Lambert, JUCO Spencer Cuvelier and Soph Bryce Flater.
Secondary anchored by All American corner Xavior Williams. Looks like it'll be True Freshman Omar Brown at the other corner. Not sure what the plan is at safety. Lots of different guys there. We'll see.
This is probably your typical 8 or 9 win Mark Farley team that will be real physical, good defensively and won't beat themselves.

Lol this is a dumb post.
Well he plays for an opponent so quite frankly I don't care where he is from or how good of a person he may be, he is the enemy.
These are the kinds of games I feel so much better going into with CMC vs CPR.
It's to a point where it would be pretty shocking if ISU rolled out there and lost Saturday. Not saying it can't happen, but there's genuine momentum in the program right now.
Agree with this above. As usual, UNI does have some good talent in certain areas, just not as good as ISU, not as deep as ISU, and the most important position on the field (QB) is a big question mark for them.
That OL for UNI is massive though.... much bigger than ours. But if you're too big and aren't quick on your feet, that's an issue.
There were years where we had a huge OL and UNI DL was like 260 on avg and they would whip our OL sadly..
Fun fact, Nick Ellis and I were HS tennis doubles partners. One match away from state!
