QB play is the difference between us and our opponents. Pretty confident that we would have beaten Iowa, Tech, and TCU if we would have just traded starting QBs for the game.

People on here used to complain about QB rotations messing with the player's heads during the Jantz/Barnett years and wanted Rhoads to make a decision and stick with it. Now fans are demanding it?

The problem is those qbs would probably suck with our staff influencing their behavior.

The problem then was they would switch qbs every game in the middle. We are just saying sticking with one guy isn't working and want to see the other guy try. What is the worst that can happen, we lose to #2Baylor?

Yeah. Swap for the game, but not before the game, and don't let the staff talk to them other than giving them plays. Under those circumstances I completely agree.

I think people are just tired of seeing the starting QB make the same mistakes for 3 years. Weird that we'd want to keep playing a guy who has done positive things every time he's been in the game. Do you think it was a good move to keep Lanning on the bench? That the plan was to use him for one big play?

No matter what, the fact that he wasn't in there for most of the 4th quarter says all I need to know about this staff.

With our current qb, we show little semblance that we can rally in the last quarter or overtime. We need to be ahead in the games.
