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 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?
Not many teams give the back up reps in the first half anymore. What coaches and programs do a great job of getting the back up quality reps?
Don't care. Our priorities should be in order of importance: 1) Make playoffs 2) Win conference, make Rose Bowl 3) Fuck it, start preparing for next year
If 1 and 2 are gone then it doesn't matter so get young players quality reps. ALL POSITIONS.

The fuck? Literally no one does this.
There's plenty to complain about with Pete.
This ain't it.
Yeah, I'm not sure about first half unless we're well-ahead in the first half. I'm thinking more later 3rd quarter/ early 4th quarter are when we will more likely find these opportunities.
The bitching about Eason not getting enough game repps would be deafening.
This. Everyone (including myself) on this bored wanted to murder Pete when he said “Jake Haener will play. He’s earned it” right after naming Eason the starter. Fuck playing the backup when the starting offense still can’t figure it out

They do if your coach let's you RIP IT and run all the plays. They don't if he only let's you hand off even when it's 3rd and 25.
Something is better than nothing, and even garbage time game play is faster than anything the kid's gonna get in practice. We talkin' 'bout PRACTICE.

To an extent they are fine. Arizona gave up and probably had back ups in too. Maybe it would be good from a confidence stand point.
I really don’t think those reps would help much if Eason went down in the first quarter and Sirmon came in. Like I said before, it’s sink or swim.

Beat Cal.
Beat Stanford.
The only priority left is:
Beat Oregon, nothing else matters now.
See, so there's no need to play a backup QB. Get off his back, Guys!!
