I don't know. I'm not a "put in Malik" guy myself. I'm not even anti Golson per se. I'm just anti Golson love/hype/worship.Honestly?
Golson was shitting his pants because of defenders in his face....and you think the backup is going to go out there and handle that better?
I get the "put in the back up" calls when a QB is constantly staring down receivers and and making awful mental decisions. The fumble wasn't that; neither interceptions were that. It would all be worse with Zaire in my opinion.
I banned Title2114.
I expect him to start posting like he may actually be a fan, not to mention to improve his attitude towards other posters.
It's short, but if he does not change, it could very well become permanent.

It's time to sit Golson. That was mindblowing. THROW THE BALL! He danced his way into a sack there. Even if it's just throwing the ball away get rid of it. He's completely rattled.
A pick-6, a 13-yard TD drive off a turnover, and a 23-yard TD drive off of a turnover. Gifted them 21 points.
We need a TD, stop, TD to start this half. I still think we can win with the right adjustments and no turnovers.
Well, I have to think the Auburn fans are bumming worse than Irish fans. They are getting hammered at home by 18 at the half.
I'm not sure that's entirely fair. ASU is blitzing like mad.so.....did oline miss the plane or what?

Herbstreit's purple lapel flower is dope.

Similarly: I'm not necessarily pro-ESPN as much as I am anti-ESPN-hate.

I tend to take the hype and the critics then split the difference because that's where you can usually find the true talent.
My case is that EG was babied in 2012, missed all of 2013, and is finally getting a chance to open the playbook. In a game like today, keep him in there, let him get the reps and finish out.
The one move I would make would be to replace Lombard with McGlinchey.
This game has reached Weis-ian levels of suckage. Just totally stunning really. The Alabama game was one thing...that team was a really freaking good. ASU isn't that good...that's what makes this so frustrating and unbelievable. We're making ASU look legendary but they're not even that good of a team.This is the worst performance by an Irish team in Kelly's time. I can't think of a close second. Disapointment doesn't begin to describe the feeling.
Can't get separation because Golson is being pressured too fast.Take half the blame from them and put it on the WRs who aren't getting any separation.
This. Didn't EG get sacked 5 times in the first half? How the hell is he supposed to succeed under that kind of pressure.
Agree with all of this. Lombard looks not good
Turn over Tommy > Give it up Golsen
