Subbing in Tommy Armstrong this year?

I think he is going to get a lot of reps in the preseason. Does he get reps during conference play? Would you put him in for a series even if it is a one score game early in the 1st or 2nd Half?

NO. This is Taylor's team, let it be that way. Tommy's PT in blowouts is fine.

 
I might even toy with the idea of starting the kid (Tommy) against South Dakota State. Give Taylor the week off. It is basically a bye week for us. That might be being presumtuous I realize. Maybe we could play Taylor for a couple series and treat the game like it's an NFL preseason tilt.

 
The only reps TA should see this year are the ones that come after we're up 3+ scores late in the game and it's out of reach for the opponent.

Do you not remember how the last game against SDSU went for us? Start Taylor every single game, and only put in TA when the game is in hand.

 
Hate Pinkel, but his best coaching move was putting in his back up QB for the first offensive series in the 2nd quarter for his senior multi-year QB (don't remember who they were, maybe Gabbert for Smith?)

Bo will never do this though

 
Is it football yet?

If we were to lose, the same people who complain about our backups not getting enough playing time would crucify Bo for that decision.

I really doubt it. Hopefully we'll actually have some leads where he can get some reps but he'll get plenty in practice to be ready next year.

1st half? Maybe. That sort of thing is not unprecedented since Pellllini has been here. 2nd half? I hope not. If it's a close game in the second half Taylor needs to take every snap.

 
TA can get reps when we have a comfortable lead.

Rembering the Cody Green one first half series experiment three years ago and his fumble inside the 10 yard line of the washington game.
