Look. I was happy with Taylor's decision making skills out on the field. He wasn't a Godsend out there, but instead of throwing the ball up for grabs (like he has done in the first two games) when the pocket is collapsing, we held on and took the sacks. Especially at the end of the second. What was running through his head was, "Hey! We can go in ahead of them in half time and work things out, come back and demolish. I don't need to risk allowing Pitt to get on the board before the end of the half. Just take your medicine when it <OOF>!!!" True, the second half performance looked like Coach Callahan simply told our boys to "Run! Run like mollasses! Catch the bad like you catch airborn virusis! And block the defenders like water upon a dam... well some dams... I suppose some other dams can't really... Nevermind! Just try and do something out there, and maybe we could ... I dunno, you guys wanna win? Oh! I guess you do ... umm ... ok, just go do that." And to his credit, they did. But it looked like as long as they were ahead they were not into the game. Taylor included. But that is an youth/lack of experience thing. And, oh yeah, Beck is even younger and more inexperienced than Taylor. Don't start wishing for things that might hurt us in the long run. Let Taylor take his hits this season, I'll wait to see Beck come and play four straight years of good football. But not until nect year.
