Coach. 4 games to use him. 4 games.

Coach. 4 games to use him. 4 games.

Even though the reps would help him, it might be better not to use him Saturday so he can still be used in 4 games where he might actually be needed.

The four game thing is risky though man...let's say you play him against Alcorn and Bowling Green and then decide to redshirt, but then need him for 3 games later in the year...you've now burned the redshirt. Meanwhile you could have played those three games and kept him eligible had you not played in those other two.

I'm with coach...if he can help us win, play him, otherwise sit him

The thing is, you have to play Tobias before you play Graham. You're not going to play Graham just to play him and it take precedent over giving Tobias snaps.

My guess is they'll use Graham like they used Vad and JeT when they were TFr. 3rd string QB that travels, and will play if, the football gods forbid, something happens to QB1 and QB2.

I hope we don’t need him. Rather have him for four years after this one.

Picking and choosing the games won't be easy but with what amounts to another half year of eligibility, it has to be used for experience. Dunno who he might play against if given the chance, but my money is not on Clemson or Georgia. In fact, for a coach historically as reluctant as Johnson to even use two QBs -- yeah, I am still peeved Byerly didn't get a series in the Orange Bowl -- one wonders how he can get him in at all except in a blowout. But as my oldest friend, despite his GT credentials, said, Georgia Tech doesn't have blowouts. That might be interesting.

Use him against Alcorn some and save the other 3 for when/if needed.

CPJ remembers arriving at GT to learn that Nesbitt's redshirt had been needlessly used the year before vs. VT. Wished he'd had #9 for one more year.
