Coach Sawvel has said numerous times that if we had seen what they had seen in practice we would agree that Svoboda is the man. I am a little surprised because I have no doubt that Sawvel knows that some players are practice players and some are not, but this doesn't always predict how a guy performs in an actual game. A QB has an upper hand in practice as he knows generally what his team is going to perform like. How ever, in an actual game situation, things are typically much faster and you have to make decisions on the run. Some players can do this and some players can't. I really do feel that it is time for these "practice" players to actually step-up in a game situation, or it is time for another player get a chance, even though he might not be the "best" practice player!
I am going to watch the game tonight, and if Svoboda does not perform tonight, all excuses need to be flushed down the hole and we need to open up the QB competition imo.
I have no idea how the Pokes will perform tonight, but I find it impossible to be optimistic. If this thing goes south again tonight, will Sawvel keep making excuses for our poor QB play?
