[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 621772, member: 3893"] I don't know about the Temple situation so I'll take your word for that. But in the present situation, the coaches have one QB who has experience and two with little to no experience who have, perhaps, greater upside potential. This, along with the fact that we were playing the best college football team in the world in our first game, seems tailor-made for an in-game QB tryout. Going with Oliver throughout would have drawn criticism that we're leaving our best passers on the bench and not giving them the experience they need. Going with Graham throughout would have drawn criticism that we're throwing a noobie to the wolves in his first start. Pretty much the same with Johnson. We as fans should realize this is a no-win situation for the coaching staff. Whatever they did was going to be criticized (unless we'd exploited our 1.2% chance of beating Clemson). Lots of positions aren't nailed down at this point - why not QB? I'm sure the staff would prefer to have an experienced guy who's head and shoulders above the rest to start from day one. But if they don't, they'd hardly be served to pretend that they do. I want to see all three QB's on Saturday. I want to see what they can do. [/QUOTE]
