I suspect MM will play starters on O a bit longet to get their mojo back.

Still, OSU's offense can score. Plus, they are a good running team. Would make a lot of sense for the game plan to keep our O off the field.
They are banged up at QB and RB, and are playing on the road at altitude.
Also they just lost by 42 at home to Cal. This better not be closer than 20.
Dear god, NO
How many "backup" QBs have we allowed to become NFL caliber players over the past 12 years???
Do not trust our offense without Viska. Do not trust our depth in the secondary. Do not trust MM to run up the score if we are up 17 in the 4th.

The beavs are dog ****, you have little to be concerned about.
I think we win, and fairly easily. Just not so confident that we cover the 24pt spread.
They've been okay on offense, setting aside being down to their 3rd string QB for the game (which is a huge problem for any team). That defense, though.. 
Really? OSU would struggle to beat CSU this year. CU is so much better and it's at home.
I would like to see us reverse our offensive strategy of RBs right up the middle and WRs always outside. Let's try and bounce Travon to the outside of the tackles a few times and hit some receivers coming across the middle. We've been so one-dimensional lately.

OK Highlander, you need to make a fashion statement and break out the jorts. That should set your fellow AB'ers off the deep end.
There are quite a few options on offense at the receiver position, specifically against a team like OSU who is flat out terrible on defense and won't be able to exploit our issues up front.
FIFY
I don't consider never getting your backup QBs many throws outside of an injury to the starting QB to be a pointless gripe.
Our offense is a well oiled machine. We DEFINITELY don't any practice, at all, especially not for our 2nd string WR / OL - I mean they'll never play in a game this year, amirite?
Lytle missing out on 7-8 passes in the second half of a game you are up by a ton, against a really ****ty team, doesn't really mean anything for development other than fans like to bitch about everything.
It's about finding out what you have in the fridge before all the stores are closed and you're forced to eat it.
So you're saying that it doesn't matter what kind of experience a guy can get, it won't matter until he's the full time starter?
That's why you don't wait until 7 mins left in the 4th Q to put him in.
Up 21 in the 2nd? new QB
Up 27 first drive of the 3rd? BU QB.
Leave the 1st sting O in, let your QB get some ACTUAL experience.
Coaches know what they have in the fridge from being at countless amounts or practices with kids, not by what he does against the 128th ranked defense in the country in garbage time.
I am saying that the difference between Lytle throwing 8 passes in the second half vs 2 is one of the dumbest things to bitch about that I have seen on this board. He is in the game, he is running the offense and milking clock to get out of the stadium with a W and the least amount of injuries as possible. Throwing the ball a ton and extending the game is pretty pointless.
I disagree.
From everything we've been told Noyer is deadly accurate in practice and has a great cadence with the offense, when he is wearing the green no contact jersey. That hasn't translated to his time in live fire. Put Lytle in the game and let him run the offense against a P5 team.
Yeah I am going to pass on leaving the first string out there in garbage time, that is a dumb move.
