apparently not because you just don't get it.

where was ole miss QB in 4th quarter? on the bench same as ours.

which is where a starter belongs in a blowout game. no offense but getting 3 more pass attempts against FAMU isn't going to accelerate his learning curve.

getting hurt and losing the rest of this season will not only take him out of conference play but will also retard his development.

I suspect that if BYU is a blowout in the other direction he will sit him as well. It's stupid risking injury in a meaningless situation.

This was more or less my thinking on Saturday night as well.  That and I believe the coaching staff wants to see how our lack of depth/backups look heading into conference play.

So does the fact that Timmy got the start mean we are done with The Cade experiment?

exactly. it isn't just the QB who sat. apparently chapel thinks we should send Mcclain out there with 3rd stringers in a blowout so he could get a few more reps.

I bet we see him against BYU if we are getting rolled. top 15 team on the road is a big spot for a true freshman.

I would think that barring injury or total embarrassment, we are going to see McClain and Marsh. I think if you put Cade back in at this point you are sending mixed messages to the team. You need to develop a plan and stick to it. It appeared that plan would be Cade, but his in-game performance was not what most thought it would be.

next time we are ranked 13th and need to impress the polls then we can leave our all american in until the end of the 3rd quarter in a blowout.

one thing we both had in common is that we sat our starter in the 4th quarter during a blowout. which pretty much any coach with half a brain would do.

31-10 in the 3rd isn't over.   Not even close to the same thing as 61-21 and this isn't 1980, no one is impressing polls with a TD bomb up 40.   Difference is in the coach and the aggressive style of said coach.

Again, you have a freshman qb leading an offense that needs reps, that was a great time to do it in game situation against a team that should essentially be equal to your team's backups.  Any coach with half a brain knows that.

Apparently you don't read well.  Because no where have I said anything about playing McClain behind 3rd stringers.  The offense should have stayed for at least another series or 2.   Keep making crap up though
