Not “throw the games”: rest the injured starters to stay healthy for our most important game in years and develop some depth. There is no reason to risk losing Hall, Hartage, or Doles when we have capable backups. Thorson also needs to rest his legs for the big game, why not see what Green can do when he’s not rotating series.
We should treat these like NFL programs use preseason games: play healthy starters like Thorson for one quarter and then see what the backups can do. They (mostly) received scholarships, so it’s time for them to show us what they got.
For the record I think we can finish 8-4 even with this philosophy, but we’ll see what Fitz does.
