I agree. The best thing for this season and the fans was to shift during the bye week to a 2021 like O with Carney at QB. Just like we did that season going from DeVito to Shrader.
The problem is that we would have needed to beat all three of Pitt, UNC, BC to make it worth while.
The alternative was to keep our O the same, practice our O all season (which makes us better long term), yet have games look like they have.
I cannot blame Fran for choosing the long play when we had so little reward for changing things (an outside shot at 6-6).
It sucks but it is the hand we were dealt.
