1) I'm not paid mils to do this. This post provides ample justification for this.
2) My offense would of consisted of running the ball sparingly. And looking for deep balls all game. Your quarter back would have been looking at the lights and clouds all day and probably been killed. With out a run threat to the interior of the D-line there would be ZERO chance of completing even a short pass.
3) On defense we we're going to get run over w/ every injury. I mentioned throwing out Warrior bc it doesn't make sense to keep dinged up safeties out there (EB). No way he would of been much worse. Throw out some young guys that are healthy, and not redshirting and let them run and play. If you think contributing freshmen are the norm in big time college ball, you are very mistaken. Often freshemen are worth 50% of the starter.
3) It would not of been worse so why not try. Wanna bet.
