OK, that is one that I do not agree with. Every division one college coach should be at least two deep at the quarterback position with that backup ready to go. If they did not properly recruit + prepare a back up then so oh well, get ready to play in the toilet bowl or maybe no bowl.
Frankly, I love Joe, but Nick Evers looks prepared to step in there and we do have a second starter on the team. And if you want to play among the best, this is what those teams do.
Syracuse was not one of those teams this year.
Injuries should be expected to happen not like oh my gosh I can’t believe we lost a star player. You’ve got to just build that team and hope for the best. Again, this is if you want to be the best. And not everyone can be the best that is for sure. Doesn’t mean you’re bad but if you want to be an elite program, whether in basketball or football, no excuses.
