Should Carnes remain starter?

[havok58]

For the rest of the season, even if Kollmorgen is cleared to play. I think he should because when Carnes was cleared and recovering from his concussion over the next few games he looked tentative out in the field. Let Kollmorgen get all the cobwebs out of his head, continue to get healthy and ready for next season.

I don't think there's a good answer to this question. One way to look at it is that we should see what Carnes has to offer. The other way to look at it is that Kollmorgen needs to get as much experience as possible.

I think Carnes needs as much experience as possible to build his confidence. Unless we managed to sneak into the playoffs (unlikely), I don't want to see Sawyer back on the field. Another concussion would be devastating and Brion should be seeing lots of playing time next year in those wildcat sets, etc so I want him to have had those meaningful game time experience from these next two games to help him out.

I can't imagine that we'd be able to sneak into the playoffs with 5 losses.

Sawyer has about 20 games under his belt as a starter, experience isn't really an issue.

I can imagine it, but then I have a pretty good imagination.
UNI has some quality wins. If they can win their last two, they'll be in the discussion. But it's definitely a longshot. Not worth rushing Kollmorgen back onto the field before he's fully recovered.

Sawyer just tweeting that he "can't wait to get back on the field next week."

Re: Should Carnes remain starter?

I say play Kollmorgen if/when he can pass all of the concussion tests and put in a full week of practice. Until then it's Carnes.

Simple answer... Yes.

Re: Should Carnes remain starter?

Yes. The offense was more effective than it had been since McNeese.

I didn't think we'd have a quarterback question until 2016, but Carnes is putting his name into the discussion. You saw flashes of what Nebraska saw in him last night.

sawyer just confirmed he'll play this week

Both QBs will likely get playing time.

Play them both, the diametrically opposing styles would give defenses a tough assignment. I think UNI's play calling needs some help as well! You have to give each quarterback some options when calling plays and a true running game makes everything else work better. If there is no legitimate running threat, advantage defense.

Kollmorgen is my starter hands down but like bursts of Carnes to keep the defense guessing.

I like your choice of QB but if you continue to use words like diametrically you are going to lose 75% of the people on this site.
