re: Why I don't want JD5 to play in bowl game

I want him to play in the bowl game no matter what. Even if it's just a half.

If he plays a half he might as well play the whole thing. You want him to risk injury let him do it in garbage time too and protect next year's starter. Nuss handing it off after the half ain't worth shite.

3. Let's face it. If Rickie Collins was the backup and not Nuss, NONE of you would be saying this crap. Everybody is only saying this crap because of Nuss. If we had some ho-hum backup QB, many of you would have never said any of this.

Obviously. If we didn't have next year's likely starter on the team then who gives a shite. Since we do that changes the dynamic to wanting to prepare him before USC.

2. All these nonsensical excuses, nobody was talking about before kids starting opting out of bowl games.

Very true, but it's the new norm. Josh Pate even suggested moving bowl games to before the next season as a kind of preseason exhibition.
