I respect your opinion on Johnson, but I disagree.
I think he looked bad against UCLA and terrible against OSU. I like Nate and he is a good athlete but he does not appear to be a good QB. When the season started I was all about going with Johnson because I assumed he was our future. I just don’t think he has what it takes to be a D1 QB. How much of this was bad coaching? We will never know.
I think I get your point, that Barnes is definitely not our future, and since we are in no position to do anything of consequence, why not play Johnson? I get your point, but I just don’t see Nate ever playing QB for the Utes again.
