How could you watch the game and come to the conclusion that the move at QB made the chances of winning higher?

What?

I don't see how it made them any lower.

Oh the record low in yardage was a coincidence.

Look, we're not going to win with Sherrifs either. You can count yards if you want, we're not winning with him.

Well then if the chances went from 0% to 0% (which isn't true) - did they improve?

This is just not a smart thing to do. You are at a school that has been starving for good QB play. Keep his redshirt, let him have his 4 years.

This is DD: Diaco Desperation.

It reeks.

UpS: He's not staying here for 4 years. Like my friend said last night, we may not even have a program here in 4 years. Carpe Diem baby!

Shirreffs is a slightly below average FBS quarterback. He's clearly not the problem here. Benching him is a way for BD to provide a scapegoat.

I like Bryant Shirreffs. I do. He's a great kid, tries hard, has difficult circumstances to work under. Very difficult. He looks worse to me than "slightly below average" as a college QB. As a college player, I believe he could get a scholly to almost any team in the country. He's that talented.
 
Maybe the kid doesn't have any interest in going to grad school in order to play a fifth season?

But what does he owe the kid? He owes him something.

I'm guessing that may be part of this whole narrative. BS is much better than Williams at this juncture, and perhaps BD felt personally jilted when BS told him that he wouldn't come back next season, and then decided to play DW.

Not 1 game in isolation - but strategically Williams has upside and BS doesn't.

There were only three games left. The first one didn't go too well.

You have no idea if Williams has any upside or not. Based on what we've seen he is nowhere near ready to play and playing him is a disservice to him, the roster and the program.

BS was going to lead us no where. Playing DW was a disservice as he also was working with a first time OC ( probably more of a disservice to Corley) against a good Defense. But we are where we are and it was time for a new look at QB. Going into next year this will help DW much more than holding a clipboard till Holy Cross.

Nice to see a captain is a back up to a freshman. Great Leadership all around

Apparently, Diaco did discuss with team leaders and they were all for the QB change if it would help them win. Agree Diaco should have named Thomas a captain.

If I am wrong it won't matter - we will just find out sooner he is not the guy.
