Dino looked as if he'd just been informed that those playeras will be unlikely to play this week. That would put anyone in a bad mood.

I felt Larson's pressing him on the issue of keeping DeVito in more than a week later after we've learned that Tommy will play in the next game was kind of beating a dead horse- Dino had already answered that question after the game. Asking the same question twice was unwise. Larson's response seemed a bit petulant.

That said that, it's a no-brainer to take your starter out when it's 41-3 in the fourth quarter for precisely this reason. DeVito isn't going to improve because he got in a couple of extra plays against Holy Cross when the game was long over. But his back-ups need reps precisely because he might get hurt. This was a game to play back-ups and rest starters. it's too bad we didn't blow it completely open earlier but we had done it by this point in the game and Clayton Welch should clearly have been in there after our last score.
