Losing to a 2nd/3rd string QB?

[tango]

It seems the only time we've actually defeated a team using their 2nd or 3rd string QB was against FSU in the NC.

... LSU comes to mind.
... now UCLA.

Seems there was another one in there... anybody recall?

Not sure about the quarterback but I remember one year against Alabama we hurt the starting tailback early in the game and I think it was Siran Stacy came in and rolled over us with over 200 yards rushing. Pretty bad day that was.

Kevin Craft did start his career at San Diego St. and ain't half bad. If you could throw 4 int.'s and still win the game you gotta be a little good.

We had a defensive scheme that forced him into making bad decisions in the first half. We backed off of that and he got time and SHAZZAM! he was making better decisions. That's to be expected.

That might be true. I just can't remember, but it seems to have been very recent... (2006 or 2007 season)

I think Longshore was the backup.

I think Longshore was the backup.

Nah, he is now but he was the starter then.

Nah, he is now but he was the starter then.

He was the starter in both 06 and 07. He was pulled in the 3rd Quarter of 06, IIRC.
