I don't see an issue with letting TD in at the end of the 2nd quarter. 34-7, no biggie to pull him out.1 I wouldn't have taken out Dungey until mid 3rd or end. 2 He should have brought him back in when it got to 2 scores not 1 at minimum.
Not smart tonight in game management.
You have to question Babers football IQ here. Has he never seen a football game were a team, a home team at that, is stumbling around and getting beat bad and then gets a few positive plays and makes a furious comeback?
This wasn't a scrimmage and the game was almost lost except Eric wasn't about to let that happen. If Devito is as good as a lot of people say he is, he should be able to come in if ED is injured and perform without being spoonfed.Get what you're saying but think the decision was very intelligent. Devito's drives went awry, but this was critical game experience.
You put him in if it’s 50-7, not 34-7. This isn’t Wagner, it’s a legitimate opponent with playmakers. This team hasn’t won enough for that nonsense Dino!

If they had lost that game after leading 34-7 because they wanted to get a backup QB some reps, it would have been the end of the season, the end of Babers grace period from criticism, and a colossal set back for the program. That doesn't seem like a smart decision.Devito's drives were atrocious. I have no idea if he's as good as "reports" are. Dungey saved the game. However, think it was necessary game time for him.
Can’t play scared. If he gets hurt, he gets hurt.I disagree. Given Dungey's injury history I think it was the right move.
That's the point though - give DeVito the reps jic he gets hurt.Can’t play scared. If he gets hurt, he gets hurt.

Agree 100%. Especially since he dinged up his shoulder on that TD run.Dungey has never finished a season, so I have NO problem with this as long as we won, we did. If we had lost this would have been absolutely stupid. Let's be realistic though, we have to get TD ready and id rather do it early in August with Dungey still available, then late in November when we have no other options because Dungey is done for the season.
