Paging the Ghostest with the Mostest & Only-U Kenobi

Man, I’d really hate to be a college coach right now. Brutal.

Can’t speak for Only U, but here are some thoughts:

I don’t think we would have seen IW pulled from the Houston game if Ludwig was still OC. Ludwig was tight with IW and an integral part of his recruiting process. With the way that process went and the strong pushes made by some big brands late (*cough* Georgia), I’m fairly certain there were subtle assurances given to IW that he was coming in as Cam’s heir apparent. So, he’s had a leg up on the other backups from the beginning in the sense that the coaches wanted to follow through. That’s not to say he didn’t display talent through camp and practices that helped him secure the QB2 role, but it seemed to be his job to lose from the beginning. And now that Ludwig is gone, the team is seeing its worst stretch in a decade, and there’s an interim OC in place who is fighting for his career life right now, the semantics of IW’s commitment and future in the program are naturally taking less precedence. So, with Rose showing improvements in recent practices and the offense sputtering with multiple 3 and-outs to start the 2nd half against Houston (and Wilson appearing somewhat affected by injury), Bajakian was allowed to do what he felt he needed to do to give us our best shot at winning. That sentiment has continued into this week, with the plan to see who can lead the offense most effectively right now, regardless of everything else.

Interesting thoughts Ghost. Rose must have a big chip on his shoulder like Cam when Brewer was handed the starting job. Million dollar question “who gives us the best chance to win”. Hill will put heavy pressure on both regardless who starts. We’ve seen it the last 4 games. Can we adjust and take advantage?

Rose is bigger than IW maybe a few 3rd and 4th down RPOs. Make the defense adjust instead of offense adjusting.

You guys know who Rose reminds me of? Brett Ratliff. And, just like Ratliff in 2005, I hope he craps all over BYU’s parade next weekend. Let fly Brandon, let fly….

The sniff test of Rose not grasping the offense doesn’t make sense to me. How can IW grasp it in few months and Rose not have a better handle on it in a few years. The only answer would be Rose is dumb as rocks. But that can’t be true. There is no way NW recruited him if he was dumb. Their pitch is not you can come and win a championship. It is come get a great education because you are smarter than the average bear.
