"Let's use this game to get Brandon Wimbush reps at complex multi-read pocket passing...oh shit he's terrible at it!"

We managed to pull that game out (and the following game against Vanderbilt), but had to switch QBs to save the season...which in the end was very successful.

I think we're going to see something similar this year. The change may need to be mid-game @Purdue, though.
