Give Martinez the start against Wisconsin. If he struggles then yes Luke might be the guy. I just feel like if frost passed on burrow for Adrian he has to do some good things in practice. It wouldn’t surprise me if Luke was the qb by Game 4. Unfortunately I would see Adrian leaving as he is good enough to start at half of power 5 schools.
Here's the thing, though, if you're a coach,:
You start a true freshman under center, you're choosing to take your lumps now for a payoff later.
We took those lumps. In 2018 and 2019.
In order to get here.
We now have a 3 year, very seasoned and experienced, starter at QB. Which is a year longer, already, than most NCAA QB's get to start.
And we could potentially have him under center for 2 more years after this. I don't know if there's ever been a 5 year starter at QB. Not 5 years in the system, but a 5 year STARTER.
So, for this season, by every objective account, the competition was razor thin at QB.
Is HCSF ready to put another freshman under center, and take the lumps that invariably come with that? Gonna admit that going "all in" with Martinez, which resulted in Gebbia leaving, didn't yield a difference maker at QB? How much rope does he have to perform a re-set?
