Mike White is starting against Houston

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

Sounds like Bench not completely out of the picture: Joey Knight@TBTimes_BullsWells 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.

 

I said a few weeks ago that it would be best if they worked white in for a few series each game. gives them a chance to catch their breath and understand the situation. won't feel overwhelmed.

 

I like the move. maybe give bench 3 or so series and let white get the rest

Bench has -24 yards rushing on the year. not to mention a big bulky knee brace.

I'm almost interested to see what you have to say if White doesn't do any better than our other three have. Will that cause you to finally see that QB is not 80% of the offensive problems, or will you beat the drum even louder? Just rhetorical here, I know the answer.

I really hope White comes in and lights it up, but as it stands now I think the chips are stacked against ANY quarterback coming in and being successful. Especially a true freshman on a short week in a nationally televised game. I'm hoping he's the type if gamer that thrives on that type of pressure.

Why would they burn his red shirt?  The shirt costs money and can be used for another player rather than destroying it.

The knee brace is a good point for this game, if he's still wearing it ... The -24 yards this year is a just plain stupid argument.

what would you say if he does do better? all you people blaming o-line and wr's will look foolish. all I'm looking for is someone who can complete 50% of his passes and score 1 TD a game. not asking for much. the other 3 couldn't manage that.

 

you do realize the guy leading 6-1 Houston is a true freshman, don't you? they both won state titles last year and are both from ft lauderdale.

how is that a stupid argument? if he was an effective runner then he wouldn't have -24 rushing on the year.

The problem is that the o-line, wr's, and qb have all layed turds in the passing game this year. So, if the entire unit can be this bad, maybe the problem is some other variable in the equation...

So why can't you try to fix the one variable you have control over... and get a true freshman's feet wet in a season that more than likely means nothing more than experience for the younger guys for next year.
