[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 644349, member: 2299"] The explanation is that he was the next QB that was ready to play, with the assumption the LJ isn't healthy (haven't herd one way or another). It may be just a matter of closing the door on Oliver at QB, and giving a guy who has worked hard in practice a taste of game time. What is microscopic is the chance at him playing this one snap has any real impact on the season. So what would it take for it to make any difference. Graham would have to be hurt in the exact right game. Yates would have to be a clear upgrade over LJ, and the game we chose to play LJ over him would have to be close enough for that advantage to decide the score. Even in the situation of Graham getting hurt against UVA, why not have LJ finish that game, and Yates plays the remaining 3? So it wouldn't just have to be the right game. It'd have to be early enough in a likely blowout of the right game for it to make a difference. The fact is, you save the 4 games to get guys experience. Because our QB is a freshman who needs all the experience he can get, Yates isn't likely to see the field in 4 games anyways. [/QUOTE]
