Bauman is physical specimen at 6’7” and 240 pounds and a rocket arm, and he’s surprisingly athletic and moves quite well for his size. Is he another Andersen or Murray (or Sneed for that matter)? Nope. Not even in the same universe as those guys, but he’s plenty good enough to pick up some first downs when necessary. In his HS career he had 26 rushing touchdowns to go with his 65 passing touchdowns. He very well put together and benefited greatly from a year in the weight room during his RS year. This idea floating around this site that he’s somehow fragile and destined for an injury is fake news.
Also of note is that Nuanez brothers were on record pretty early that he was clearly the best choice for QB1 based on their assessment from the first handful of practices, and it wasn’t even close. He earned this spot in a fair and open competition.
Just for fun, here’s a link that shows him shattering the glass on a baseline dunk in a HS basketball game. He’s athletic folks. https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/sports/high-school/2018/01/05/msu-commit-shatters-backboard-dunk/1009060001/
So what’s the problem? He came from a small HS and he is still developing his ability to read and make good decisions when bullets are flying. The Cats will need to simplify that offense early in the season and let the kid develop at a metered pace. The Cats will need to be effective in the run game led by Ifanse and the very experienced OL. If the Cats win against SEMO and WIU it will be because we were running downhill most of the game and Bauman did a good enough job finding the check downs and short-range guys that are open due to scheme and good play calling.
The Cat receivers need to elevate their game, particularly with the 50 50 balls. Bauman will need to go downfield several times a game, and particularly early in the season, they will be mostly prayers. Jonsen has already proven himself as a guy who will win the 50 50 ball, and as you recall did a good job in last years Brawl. McCutcheon needs to improve dramatically, and it’s been a point of emphasis for him starting last spring. He’s making great strides this fall camp and even won Player of the Day once for attacking the ball at the highest point. Kassis will continue to be steady and effective and will be the primary target in the short and medium range throws.
As has been well documented, the Cats have a very favorable conference schedule. Even with a 1-3 start, it very possible (even probable) that the Cats win their first 6 conference games even with a developing freshman QB. A trip down to UC Davis and the Brawl in games 7 and 8 will make or break the season. As has been the case lately, I can easily see the winner of the Brawl getting a playoff spot and the other season coming to a close.
Does he always throw with his eyes closed? I like this guy already.

This is a great post and I agree. Rovig is one hell of a QB2 and the Cats are in great shape at that position for the foreseeable future. I credit Coach Jeff Choate's ability to recruit and develop exceptional quarterbacks.CDAGRIZ said:If a few balls bounce the other way, we'd be reading this:HookedonGriz said:Rovig was a 3 star too...just sayin
Rovig is physical specimen at 6’5” and 205 pounds and a rocket arm, and he’s extremely mobile for his height. Is he another Andersen or Murray (or Sneed for that matter)? Nope. Not even in the same universe as those guys, but he’s plenty good enough to pick up some first downs when necessary. People forget that he was going to be the starter last year before his injury in the Idaho Bowl. He is very well put together and benefited greatly from a year in the weight room during the offseason. This idea floating around this site that he’s somehow fragile and destined for an injury is fake news.
Also of note is that Menendez brothers were on record pretty early that he was clearly the best choice for QB1 based on their assessment from the first handful of practices, and it wasn’t even close. He earned this spot in a fair and open competition.
Just for fun, here’s a link that shows him executing a perfect layup and then striping a 5 wood out of the thick rough in cargo shorts. He’s athletic folks.

Rovig might even be better than Baumann. You might not remember this, but he was going to be the starter before getting hurt last season. I agree that Choach has proven that he is incredible at recruiting QBs to QBU. I know everyone in the media says he's a simpleton and what not, but I think he's actually smart as a tack.

Agreed, I'm not so sure Sneaky Jeff isn't laying in the weeds on Rovig and he really us the chosen one and Bauman is a front. He's played this game before sticking guys at LB as a fake. Smart man.
