I think people take fran's 'loyalty' remarks as he's a little too locked in on Rickie, or was locked in on Steve

Fran is loyal, but he's also no dummy. He wants to win football games. If Luke Carney gives him a better chance to win than Rickie, he's going to play Luke.

The fact that we haven't seen Luke should tell you he's not ready. Yeah he has a great HS track record, but this is D1 Football. Rickie is likely further along and has a better grasp on our playbook than Luke does. That doesn't mean I love what I see from Rickie... but the back up QB is at their most popular when the starter underperforms

How many of us called for Rickie when Angeli struggled against UConn? Would you make those same comments with hindsight?

I think Luke has the tools to be a great QB.. but that doesn't mean he's our best option right now

Establish the run, design quick and winnable throws, don't turn the ball over, and prevent redzone trips. There's a lot we can improve on no matter who the QB is, that will make their life easier

I say all this as someone who wanted to see Luke during the Duke and SMU games.
