Great post.
Also, I didn’t spend much time researching, but a very quick Google search shows that teams that played the bowl games without their starting QB were not successful. I believe USC and Louisville were the only teams to win with a back-up. UNT, Coastal, Tulane, Cal, Pitt, OU*, Duke, and Miami** lost.
Not having your QB is obviously a big deal.
From the little I’ve seen, we’ve gotten better publicity in a loss due to Mestemakers performance than we would have gotten with a win if Morris had played. The media absolutely loves the “hasn’t started a game since freshman B team” narrative, and are blown away by his performance***.
*Hawkins started games for OU this year
**Cam Ward played half the game
***thanks to those giving EM some credit for how Mestemaker played.
I think they said during the FAU game he replaced ALL his assistant coaches this season? Probably had something to do with the probation and trying to keep his own job.
So much myopia around here…. Like TXSt didn’t lose a bunch of dudes to the portal as well.
And ever since Chandler entered the portal, all I’ve read about him is that he’s declined since the Tulane game & is broken now.
We’re all fans here. Some of us would just like to see more & don’t care about excuses.
