I don't understand why our coaching staff is incapable of this

They are capable of it. They just aren’t stupid. BYU was driving the ball. They

Why would this be stupid? Jake has clearly been bad the last couple of games

Find all the examples of this ever working out. I’ll wait

Rizk came in and looked markedly better for UCF this season. Not the same scenario though.

The #3 ranked University of Texas Longhorns would like a word, because they did exactly this.

So do you want to reconsider your statement that "no team does this." Because it obviously does happen from time to

Sorry. I’m the first person to use hyperbole on the internet to make a point.

You asked for ‘all’ examples of it ‘ever’ working out. You were given some

Coolio… I’m not dismissing anything. A few times it’s worked out. That doesn’t

When BYU has a Manning or Tua on the bench, let's talk.

The comment I'm responding to is the claim that "no team does this." That's objectively incorrect.

BYUMizzou

Sure. You got me. Doesnt mean it’s reasonable to expect BYU to do this.

I agree with you 100%

The Steelers just did it yesterday. Putting Justin Fields in for a few plays. Worked well

Cmon… the 2QB situation means you ultimately have no QB.

A good coach is able to balance this. You don't have to have a "2 QB situation" if you play your backup for a few series

You don’t do that when you are 9-0. 5-4, 4-5, sure. Jake is a big reason we

The coaches got complacent... Gerry, who has played like 8 total snaps wouldn't have made a difference

If this worked, you would see those universities with QB's coming in and out not being at the bottom

moving the ball wasn't the problem...it was finishing drives and stupid turnover

QB accuracy and decision-making was an issue

I wouldn’t mind seeing a package of RZ plays for Gerry, but taking Jake out of the game because he has a few struggles

The unit that failed us the most was the Oline. No push on 3 running plays, then

I agree, and I think it would have been a good idea to try to switch it up a little
