The back up QB. Teams prepared all off-season and use all of the game film from the current season of the starter, then they get this different QB who plays different and the defense doesn't know what to expect. The back up QB ends up being just as productive.

Interesting KSL interview w/ ARod saying that Jake was questionable in the Kansas game.

Shocker. Should have gave Bohannon that one game. Jaren vs ND situation

Or Riley Nelson vs the entire 2012 schedule

I don't understand coaches who play QBs who are injured and clearly unable to perform.

I think the logic is the continuity with teammates prevents TOs, and experience

So, lose by 9 instead of 2?

Me either. It is as if they are afraid the backup will be better and they will

“Clearly unable to perform?” He was one play away from an average game

Well, heck! If he was "one play away from average," what are we complaining

russkiejedi

Dec 27, 9:32am

My point is he was clearly able to play, just not at top ability

Dec 27, 9:35am

My point is that he's not a good enough QB that it's worth playing him when he's

We had four red zone trips in 7-8 possessions. Is there any reason to think the

We scored fewer points against Kansas than any other FBS opponent. 2 of the 4

Yes, shocker that ARod would knowingly play an injuried QB that costs

Love & learn. All you need is love.

Dec 27, 9:28am

Well, shouldn't someone learn, too. ARod doesn't learn but repeats errors.

That's mean! Be civil.

To truly love, we also need to help them learn.

You can play in 4 games and still preserve a redshirt.

I don’t think he had a RS year

If BYU had a game the week after Houston, Jake wouldn't have been able to play

I do think we'll see a better Jake than we saw the last 1/3 of the season.

They ran him a lot because we had a guard playing tackle

I don't know why Austin Leausa (who played tackle at SUU) didn't play

They tried several guys in practice and thought Lupuaho was a better

It was Mitch Harper on Cougar Tracks.

Yep, the history of BYU playing QB's that aren't healthy doesn't pan out for us.

Dec 27, 9:06am

Maybe so but most teams do it unless the guy can’t perform

That’s not a great thing to admit

So an OC with poor decision making abilities played an unhealthy QB with questionable decision making abilities while
