You can look at it one of two ways;  one, we weren't getting it done, so lets get White some reps to help him get ready for next year, or two, we weren't getting it done and lets hope White lights a spark on offense and salvages the season.

 

Either way, I'm good with it.

Give him a shot.  We already burned his redshirt and he can't be any worse than Eveld or Floyd.

 

We hope

 

 

Statistically impossible

I think the other positive is Taggart expects to have talent coming in during the next recruiting class at QB, so there is little reason to try and hold white for an extra year.  Maybe that is just wishful thinking....

Not that it matters but I spoke with my sources within the program and they indicated White had a great practice and the team rallied around him. Guess we'll find out if he can move mountains in three days.

I believe that. The kid looks like a leader from what I have watched of him in HS. He was on the sidelines encouraging all of his teammates during that state championship game. I honestly  thought he would never step foot on campus as I was thinking he was going to commit to baseball. It seems that scouts new he would commit to college and backed off a little bit which is a good thing for USF. Glad he is getting the chance now instead of waiting for next season. I believe our QB problem will be solve, and I cant wait to see USF build around this guy. We will have the running game too, so it will be a great situation on offense before the season is over.

Sounds like Bench not completely out of the picture:

 

Joey Knight@TBTimes_Bulls

Wells said they'll have packages Thurs for Steven Bench if needed: "He's been hurt and he comes in there & makes a bad decision on 1 play."

I really question this strategy... you have to give White a long leash now that you burned the redshirt and are sticking him in as a true freshman.

That doesn't mean you throw him in the deep end and let him drown.  Sometimes they need be pulled out of the water a few times before they can swim.

He did say "if needed". We don't know yet that MW is the savior some think he's going to be. I hope he comes in and does such a great job that they won't even think of taking him out but In case he doesn't, you need Bench ready to go.

The thing with Bench is that he is better runner than White, so I can see CWT bringing him in for certain situations.
