    Any thoughts on when we play the backup?

    We will play the back up QB once the starter can execute the offense.
    Thanks!

    I don’t find myself caring about this. The late game reps on a blow out don’t really do anything. I would take Eason out because I don’t want him hurt then care about the back up getting reps.

    It’s a lot different when you’re thrown in against Oregon or another quality opponent. It’s sink or swim and the garbage time reps aren’t making Sirmon any more or less ready to perform.

    I think there is a space with a comfortable lead and garbage time where the parking defense is still playing and you can get good reps in.

    I care. Petersen is an incredibly slow learner in this area. The whole tone of this board in the last two months is that game reps are more important than practice reps. Your backup QB should always be getting a couple of series in the first half of games to see what game speed is like. This prevents your backup from going in cold like Haener did against Cal and shit happening. It requires a little bit of finesse as to when to get the backup some reps but you would expect a top level coach to be able to manage that. Pete is a very, very average gameday coach.

    Edit: If we are all gonna scream to play the young receivers, shouldn't the young QB get some reps too?
