From the hires at OC and OL, and the way the QB room is shaping up, we are not planning on employing anything like an RPO offense. Dual threat QBs need not apply. We damn well better hit the portal hard for OL. In spite of the popular narrative that we have depth and talent there, it’s pretty obvious that we have neither.

Kopp, Shrout, McCown...it is good thing we have several drop back passers, unless the OL gets an influx of quantity and quality, we'll need plenty of QB's.

Is a dual threat QB necessary to run the RPO?
 
The way I’ve always interpreted the RPO was that it’s a modern variant on the triple option. Instead of running it from under center, the QB gets the ball in the shotgun and reads the defense to see the reaction to the play action. I suppose there are non mobile quarterbacks who can pull that off like it’s a play action pass, but without the threat for the QB to run, it’s just that - play action. Maybe I had it wrong this whole time.

I think you are describing the read option.

All I know is, ANY QB that plays CU can be categorized as a “mobile” quarterback.
Checks notes: 2011 HONOLULU -- Bryant Moniz ran for a career-best 121 yards and three touchdowns and Hawaii beat Colorado 34-17
…and everyone else that did that.

Depending on the version of RPO. Sowder's Kent State offense is reading to pass or hand off, with the third option being a QB run. Not all RPO offenses include that 3rd option.

It. Sucks losing Gonzo. Just have to find a replacement. Treat it like he is graduating.
