Agree, but where's the college coaches' handbook on how to effectively lead/manage your team when said team plays 12 consecutive regular-season games in a row with no bye ?
I think Coach Hauck is using all of his and his staff's extensive knowledge and experience so as to make it through this unprecedented, difficult regular season, he knows our injury situation and we don't, and it's real easy for us armchair qb's to second guess him. In hindsight, we should have kept our starters in longer, but had I been Bobby yesterday, we're up 22-0, my team is banged up from playing 10 games in a row, I am also substituting. It's a cliche' but true: hindsight is ( always ) 20-20. !!!
And I did hear him mention in the post-game press conf. that our D regularly had 4 men, not 3, on the LOS yesterday so it sounds like to this armchair QB that for most of the game yesterday, we were playing a 4-2-5.
