Whatever the reason, the coach says that they had plans to use him.  Why would he lie about something like that?  Obviously, something about the flow of the game made him change his mind.

If they have a Flowers package for when we're up by 21 this year, they shouldn't have even issued him a helmet.

They wanted him to get some game experience in mop up duty.

These types of things just make the coaching staff sound dumb.  And similar things even happen in the NFL.  I would guess they wanted a situation where the game was in control to introduce Flowers and in both games the offense wasn't running smoothly so they didn't go that direction.
 
If you are only going to use him if things are going well, why use him at all?  That tells me it was either a gimmick or a way to make Flowers happy by getting him on the field.  E
 
I really see no explanation which indicates that Flowers would actually add something to the game plan.  So if it isn't something that could help, why bother?  Aren't we trying to win games?

 

 

Why can't it be as simple as wanting to get his redshirt QB into the game when there's absolutely no pressure?  He hasn't been able to do that with ANY QB yet.

Agree,   Had Many opportunities to get him in the game if that was the plan. (If not worried about the redshirt).

  If he is one of the Best players on the team and you don't utilize him than that falls on the coaching.

It's simple. They planned to use him against WCU when up 3 scores and planned to use him against Maryland when down 3 scores. Neither scenario came to fruition.

So, um... Flowers will be thrown into the NC State game... if we are up by 3 scores or down by 3 scores?

Because it would be idiotic to use a true freshman if he isn't capable of helping the team.  Why burn a RS unnessarily?  Either he is ready to contibute or he isn't.  If he isn't ready, why use him?  If he is ready, he should have been in there.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”
