There were so many games and opportunities to get Golson and/or Hendrix snaps.
The Purdue game was 35-3 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Zero reps for G or H
Air Force game was 49-16 at the end of the 3rd quarter. 4 passes for H. Zero for G.
Hey guess what happened next??? The Golden Child got hurt against USC and we had no one but Crist with any useful experience. We all know what happened next.
So now we have three losses, all games we were favored in (two by more than a TD), and two at home. Time to reevaluate season priorities right?
Nope. The Golden Child throws all but three passes against Navy in a 56-14 blowout. Zero reps for G or H.
Rees threw two picks against Wake Forest two picks. Zero reps for G or H.
Maryland game was 38-7 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Time for some reps for G or H? Nope Zero. Nada. NON SENSICAL!!!
Golden Child against Stanford? 6-13 with a pick. Hey now might be a good time to turn to a primed and ready backup! Too bad one is packing his bags for Kansas and the other two have next to ZERO reps all year. Go get em Hendy! What does he do? Well apparently he didn't do enough.
I think what we really need at this point is more time to evaluate the Golden Child.
