Quick developed pretty good hands while at App, minus the occasional "body catch" and was and still is often praised as the hardest worked on the team. The Montana play was extremely difficult for many reasons (a short outside slant, thrown hard in the snow....really). The Montana game was lost because of poor play-calling in the red-zone on that last drive, IMO.Boone Goon wrote:Quick App memories...
#1: Dropped touchdown pass in the '09 semi-final game as time expired vs. Montana.
Brian had a great career, but his 'hands of stone' were on full display that day. It cost Armanti his final game, and one last trip to the championship game.
BHG, Quick had one catch and 4 throws to on the final drive. Should have caught one, could have caught one and one was overthrown. The others were to Cline, Frazier and Moore. Tough conditions, but it's still looked like a catchable ball...think about it this way, if you could have had any receiver on that years roster in place of Quick would you? My answer is absolutely! Cline or Elder before Quick. Just my two cents.PBR1893-BEER-HAT-GUY wrote:Hey boon goon...were you at the game? I was...u either don't know jack about football or you weren't watching the game.do you recall how app got down field during that final drive and by the way, quick was injured as well. I love hearing people talk about quick and that final drop at montana. Off topic with montana but....Here's another tidbit of info on quick...lynch blocked the game winning field goal against michigan...right? Quick tipped the kick earlier in the game with those hands of stone...so give him some credit for that one as well.
Here are some happier memories .Boone Goon wrote:Don't misunderstand my comment, I am excited for BQuick and wish him nothing but success. But the image burned into my memory of him as a Mountaineer is the dropped pass in the Montana game. Yes, I remember him blocking the kick in the Big House as a freshman, yes I remember the other jump balls he caught, but in the snow of Missula he dropped not one but TWO passes on that final drive. If Elon hadn't taken out Armanti's knee a couple of weeks earlier maybe it wouldn't have mattered.
It is what it is...
Totally agree about the comment of not receiving coaching at App. That was a slap in the face to Jerry Moore and the rest of the staff. I wish him all the luck, however. and hope he invests his salary wisely.appbio91 wrote:I remember the drops but also all the great catches. So no doubt a great player but I can't forget his behavior on the field in his last game at KBS. Also the crap about I can't help where I came from and I did not get coached at App doesn't sit well either. So good luck to him but I really doubt he would credit App State for the opportunity to be successful at the next level.
