Overall I think Dabo is an idiot. Weird press conferences talking about sleeping with mama and shit. Just a goofy bastard. Not to mention it took him almost 5 years, and a woodshed ass whippin’ from the Mountaineers to discover the power of IPTAY. I wasn’t living here a fucking month and knew of their connections to Charlie Pell and the recruiting of the Perry brothers.
But, in this case he handled as well as any coach could have. I would guess he feels pretty confident that his roster is stronger then any regular season opponent. And would probably win regardless of who was behind center. So go ahead and get the kid some meaningful reps before the possible playoff.
Besides, with Tua lighting it up, Dabo almost has no choice but to go with the kid. Simply because he has an NFL arm. Dabo is just playing the long game, hoping he doesn’t find himself in another game like last years Syracuse match up. That is when he would get second guessed by his fan base for not having some experience on the bench.
And if one is honest, if you’re going to have a problem, that is pretty damn good problem to have. Beats the shit out of rolling a stiff out there and hoping for a 40 yard herp-a-derp miracle.
