Interesting reason why you'd put lanning in there... to have a chance to suck. How about we put him in certain spots (similar to what they did last night) that give him the easiest chance of succeeding, gaining confidence and experience while not compromising too much from a team standpoint. We saw a little of this last night. We'll likely see more of Lanning against KU. I doubt the coaches will play him vs the likes of OU, TCU, and Baylor, but we may see him get some sporadic work throughout the rest of the season.
Well ya, he's not going to be good, I can guarantee that. I don't think he's any kind of savior. I just want to see what the kid can do with the starter pants on. And none of this, oh we'll put SR in for a series BS. Full hand over, let the kid play. It's the least Rhoads can do for us for when he's not the coach next year.
