You know as well as I do that Laviano did not move the offense well against Wsconsin or Michigan. Do you really want me to cut and paste the drive logs from ESPN for those games as well? What I do know is that the coach had selected and stuck with a starting QB based on countless hours of reps that none of us had the chance to witness. We also know that when the backup was put in with the starters against the starting defense of Wisconsin and Michigan he added zero spark to the offense and the offense did absolutely nothing. So if I am a coach and I know (hypothetically) that one QB consistently moves the team better in practice situations… and I also know that when given a shot against real defenses, the backup has given no additional spark or life to the offense, and done nothing indicate he would perform better in the future, why in gods name would I ever decide to insert him in a game earlier over the starter? Did you really want your coach to insert a QB that he has seen provide consistently less production in similar circumstances in both practice and game situations? I will never be able to fathom the mindset of some message board fans.
