Being Dylan "Yes That Favre" Favre isn't always as awesome as it sounds. Fans and media only seem interested because of your famous uncle. Scouts only seem interested in dismissing you because of your height.
Then, in one of the biggest games of your team's season, you have to
watch helplessly from the sideline as not one but two quarterbacks ahead
of you on the depth chart are beaten senseless by LSU's defense.</p><p id="yui_3_3_0_2_131621077379449">
And when your 19-year-old brain decides to vent its frustration over a lack of playing time
via Twitter, the whole "Favre" thing guarantees people are going to
notice. And so they have: As of Friday morning, the plaintive appeal
Favre posted in the immediate aftermath of Mississippi State's 19-6 loss Thursday night —"Is an opportunity too much 2 ask for?" —had been re-tweeted several dozen times and has already begun to make the rounds
on sports blogs such as, well, this one. The more important question:
Is it going to make the rounds this weekend in the coaches' offices
and/or the Bulldog locker room?</p>
Favre's frustration is as understandable as any third-stringer's in a
loss. Starter Chris Relf was sacked three times, intercepted once and
failed to get the offense into the end zone in more than three quarters
of work. Backup Tyler Russell, allegedly the better passer of the two,
was easily overwhelmed in the fourth quarter, taking one sack, fumbling
on another and serving up an ugly-looking interception of his own. As usual against LSU's defense, no one comes out looking very good.</p>
The alternative, of course, would have been to send the (officially)
5-foot-10, 195-pound Favre in for the first game action of his career
against a defense that had already swallowed two more experienced
passers whole, in a must-pass situation in which a comeback was already
out of reach and the nasty LSU
pass rush could pin its ears back with no threat of a running game to
slow it down. Your competitive fire is noted, young Favre, but trust us:
In this case, you definitely would not have been just having fun out
there
