That was the underlying meaning behind my statement.  There were several opportunities last year where we had a large lead and could have played other qb's IMOP

Why would you want a backup playing when a game isn't decided? The point is to win the game, with your best players.

Maybe a series here and there if they have a special package of plays but I don't get it. Training the backup isn't more important than wasting series in close games.

ysufan0505:
Does anybody remember the Dayton game last yr? That's why you don't let the backups play early.....

Karl Hungus:
For once Happy makes sense.

I expect Wolf to start Nania in the opener. Then over the course of the 3 weenie games  expect to see Davis "win" the starting job. To me , the season appears to be "scripted". By the time the MVFC chase starts he'll have two players with playing time. If they run the QB this  year as I expect, they need to be ready if one gets hurt and running QBs get hurt.

Wick250:
Starting Nania at Illinois makes a lot of sense.  The absolute last thing that we need is for a freshman quarterback to get overwhelmed by the environment, make mistakes, and lose his confidence.
