seems like board is torn, since playoff is out of reality, a bowl game by any other name is a bowl game.

I'd love to see both QB's get snaps, with AJ getting the start. Maybe after 3 series get BH in hopefully mid 2nd quarter, get at least majority of 3rd, and then whoever Les feels gives us best chance to win finish game. I don't think this formula loses us the game, of course I wouldn't pull a hot QB

Let BH get half of the snaps. I think he gives us the best chance to win out anyway and he can gain some valuable experience.

You play to win, period. Seniors have two more games ... send them out with pride.

You'll never believe this, but some schools don't even get to play in a bowl game.

I always say play or prepare for a championship. Championships are out of the question for 2014 so prepare for 2015 now. If Harris doesn't have real playing time today I will be disappointed. I am not saying Harris is the answer but I feel like Jennings hasn't shown he is the clear guy for 2015.

Making a bowl game is nothing special. 30 years ago it was. Over half of the D1 teams make one now.

Winning is more important. Losing affects recruiting. When recruiting goes down, then program goes down.

Both are important.


So, play to win, but also look forward to next year. The ONLY way you truly prepare a player to play is to give him game experience. Let him make some mistakes, but LET HIM PLAY. Please, Les, let the kids grow up.

Look, when Beckwith was first inserted, he wasn't great. He looked a bit confused, but look at him now. IMHO he's all SEC material for certain in 2015.

Take the last paragraph and replace Beckwith with Adams, and it still fits.

Take the last paragraph and replace Beckwith with BH, and it still fits. The jury is still out on BH, but I would say it is still very much out on AJ as well.

A bowl game used to be a reward for a successful season. Now it's little more than a participation trophy.

With the number of bowls out there, it's pretty much become more difficult mathematically to miss a bowl than make one.

Great post!

I still can't make sense of CLM starting BH in our toughest game of the year. Essentially saying "he is ready" and since that game he hasn't allowed him to get any meaningful snaps.
