Burn a redshirt, make a bowl game...

Post by Donnell88 »

We aren't going to beat Rice with JJ McDermott at quarterback.
Start Conner Preston, it's bound to be an upgrade.

Nope. No sense in burning a redshirt for 2 games. That's like saying "as long as my house is on fire, I might as well throw all my cash on the fire, too." Senseless.

First, we already made a bowl game. CUSA isn't going to meet the minimum number of teams, so we're in no matter what.

Second, if you start anyone, start Kaiser. Preston isn't going to play unless both he and McJJ are out.

Start Kaiser and avoid burning a redshirt, that way we can finally see what the kid has. With no Line we're screwed against Rice anyway and we've already locked up a bowl bid. Makes too much sense for June to do though.

Won't happen - JJ too stubborn.

Kaiser or McTerrible, it doesn't matter. we're going to a bowl regardless and PLEASE do not burn a redshirt. But for what it's worth, McD sucks and I'd like to see Kaiser the last 2 games.

I'd rather see a dead cat at QB than Simple JJ.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Only if the practice is conducted by someone passionate about the program

What would you prefer: A 6-6 season and no bowl game, or a 6-7 (losing) season with a bowl game?

6-7 with a bowl game loss. Don't be a fool.
