SU’s coach kept his QB in a lost game and the guy took a physical and mental beating for most of his 93 plays. Why? Did he promise him he’d stay in to pad his stats with another 300 yard game?
Curious if McCord’s play drops off now based on what the sharks and the rest of the guys did to him over and over again last night. Was he hit 20 times? 25? Stupid IMO.
On the Pitt side, Eli needed plays to regain his confidence and “rhythm” (cliche but accurate) and Pitt just never had the ball.
I think it made sense to keep him in there running the offense to fight through the Cal hangover. He really didn’t play much.
I guess the details will soon come out but PN hinted that Eli got something in his eye on that last play and that he was “jumping around” later (which indicates no concussion or neck issue).
Thought on QB usage?
