50th time, Jason Bean did not backup Rogers. The coach alternated series with Rogers. I attended 3 games and followed Lake Ridge on TV during the playoffs. In fact, I don't remember Rogers playing deep in the playoffs.

I think it's great he won the backup job in camp and got on the field a few times. He is 4/5 for 69 yards!
But I really hate throwing him to the Wolves, er Bobcats, and his first start in a Bowl game. No pressure. This is the bad side of all the NIL/Portal garbage this time of year.
Not many get that chance at UNT. Hence why so many leave. His opportunity to make horrid financial decisions is well on his horizon unless he is actually an FCS/D2 talent.
