Buy. He'll play most of the first half and give way to Damian when we are up by 3-4 TDs.

Buy. But he'll channel his inner Tyler Russell until we're up a bunch and Williams exercises his inner Relf.

Buy. He will start. The amount of time he stays in the game will depend upon both his ankle and the team's performance. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire substitute offense came in for a series or two in the first quarter, as they did against USM.

One of the problems of having a Heisman candidate is that you need to give him a chance to run up some numbers. I have heard head coaches discuss this in the past, that the team focus suddenly becomes helping one player pad is stats. It is part of the reason Alabama did not have a Heisman winner under Bryant: He got John David Crow a Heisman at A&M, and he really didn't want to go through that with another player.

I think Mullen and Prescott will keep some perspective, though. Get Prescott some reps, but do what is best for his ankle and the team in the long run. The Heisman voters are not going to abandon Dak just because he coasts through this one.

Buy. If I were mullen I'd play him. Tell him to stay in the pocket throw the ball. I'd get him 250 yards and 3 or 4 TDs and then get him out.

Buy. I bet we come out throwing the ball all over the place, hopefully getting up 3 possessions. Then bring in Damien, let him get some work with the 1st team, then work in the backups.

Buy. He'll play until we have a large enough lead (I think 21) and control of the game, then Damian and the 1B's will take over.

Buy, but it will be vanilla.

The deciding factor for the Heisman will not be whether or not Dak put up 500 yards of offense and 6 TDs on UTM.

Buy. I think you will see a similar plan to the Ark game. He didn't run until the 2nd quarter when we saw we needed it. He will hand off and sit in the pocket until the game is well in hand or we need to spark the offense.

Buy. I'll be glad to see it. His passing has been a little off either due to injury or trying to live up to expectation. Force him into the pocket, force him to throw against a weaker secondary, and get a little confidence back for the Alabama game.
