I'd like to see our second string and third string play from second quarter to fourth quarter. Have the first string play in the first quarter only. I think this would allow our back ups to get plenty of meaningful reps and allow the coaches to see who needs more attention during practice and what they need to work on. I view it as keep the starters fresh for the Pitt game and Florida game when we will definitely need them.

What is your view? Do you agree or no? If not explain.

Disagree. Play the 1st team for at least 3Q. We travel to Pitt week 2. Need all the reps we can get before that.

We need to get the first team some game reps to knock the rust off. But, I do agree it is very important to get the backups as many reps as possible. The depth we can create is very very important. I believe lack of depth really hurt us, more than most know, last season.

Just sit back while the coach just does his job. He, not any of you were hired for that after all. And don't worry, the backups will get plenty of playing time. The score will climb so rapidly, sending the backups will be an act of mercy, though the scoring will continue, just not as fast.

I think it all comes down to the score. If Tennessee is just blowing them out, such as early and often, then I think Heupel should start playing the young players, not all at one time, but send in a few at a time. That way you have some starters still playing, along with inexperienced players. If that keeps the game out of reach, then eventually get the young guys in and rest the first team players.

I think it is a good idea to play reserves, but what about the starters?? To me they need all the time on the field they can get early in this season. They are not bubbling over with experience themselves. Not no wholesale on field personal subs. Sprinkle the newbies in a few at the time. (especially the QB, I feel we will need nos. 2 and 3 before this season is over)

Every player wants to play on gameday, but the starters have earned the right through competition. It's also important to rotate reserve players in the game to keep everyone fresh and healthy. At some point, the coaches will know when it's the right time to start resting the starters and give more reps to the backups. The players will all know it, too. They'll know because they've built a familiarity with the team and they'll know when the starters have reached a point where they are ready to be taken out. At that point it will happen. This is all part of how competition motivates players to get better -- and by extension, teams to get better. It's a huge part of what people mean when they use the term "team chemistry".

Great that no one has mentioned Georgia State.

I think that much of the problem with Georgia State was that Pruitt had not decided what the starting line up should be. Remember the lineup he released before the start of the season? He was trying to use that game as a scrimmage to get some film to decide what the lineup would be. The other problem, of course, was piss poor coaching. Players did not know how to line up or what to do once the ball was snapped. Hopefully Heupel and staff already know which players will start and which will be backups.

I just want to see us come out and put up PlayStation numbers on teams like this! I'm sick and tired of being in dogfights with these mid major teams for 3-1/2 quarters! I want to come out and score like those Big 12 teams against lesser competition and be up 42-0 at halftime.

Pitt not a mid major. Have good O & D lines. Slovis is an unknown. Think this game will be won deep in 4th qtr. Sub players when you can. Do we have any recruit from our last class ready to start day one?
