I assume you're talking about WVU, but I wouldn't say they were quite that terrible. And the only other major stadium I can think of in the region is Lane Stadium North, but why would another school play their home games on our (second) home turf?

Not putting Leal in before Logan got hurt defies all logic? We should have played with two QBs at the same time?

For the life of me, I can't think of why any team, let alone us, should do that.

I think, for better or worse, Scot Loeffler was probably trying his best to get LT to the NFL and thus, LT was the sole focus of the offense. I don't agree with that approach, but I don't think that is how Loeffler will operate in the future. He came into a pretty messed up situation and I think he decided he couldn't clean up the whole mess at once. LT was a project for him and Leal fell to the wayside as a result. More likely than not, Loeffler was never impressed by Leal in the first place which is maybe part of the reason he recruited so aggressively at the QB position.

In the future I would like to see back-up QB's more involved during the course of the season so we can avoid situations like the Sun Bowl. I'm hopeful that Loeffler will recognize the need to get back-up QB's some meaningful reps before they need to be thrust into a starting role.

Hopefully being the deep safety blanket to the field side like he was early in the year. He isn't good enough in coverage to play man every down, and he definitely has room to grow in run support (awful against Miami and BC) but he was very effective as a free hitter deep while Kendall and Facyson got their feet wet.

we might use this kid at LB since our depth there is so thin. He could be LB and kicker...

Thanks for the article. I definitely agree with DUFFMAN's comments. I think I read all of the comments here looking for anything relative to this but did not see it previously mentioned-

Why were Leal and LT never on the field at the same time this year? Having two capable QBs on the field would open up the door for so many possibilities- even if it was just LT playing as TE for a play or two. The event itself would force defenses to plan for so many more contingencies. Then, what if LT went in motion on a play (again, even if he was just a decoy?)

The fact that ML would be on the field more, and even possibly make some throws, would have given him ample more prep time and game experience before having to be thrown into a game breaking situation. NOT putting him in before LT was actually knocked out defies all logic, and I was pretty disgusted to hear CFB repeatedly say that he was disappointed ML didn't play better that he would expect- after never having been used other than in scrimmage.

We got a punter who will strip the ball, and a kicker who is built like a linebacker, and will willingly hit you like one.

This is everything I could have ever possibly dreamed of...
