Switching back to Towles.......

[Yahtzee43]

after changing it up with Barker. Do you think it was the right decision, the way it was handled ?

I didn't like watching Barker's body language and attitude on the sideline sulking, but I think I might have left him in longer. It just seemed like Stoops panicked by putting Towles back in and it didn't give Barker a chance to play through his mistakes or to give us a feel for really how well he can play.

I agree. Should have left him it to finish it.

Bad idea. I think we win with Barker playing the 2nd half.

What is the infatuation with Towles by the coaching staff ? It is almost like they want to be "right" about their decision rather than win.

Barker gets the ball to his receivers faster, especially in the flat. I think, with time, Barker could be a pretty good QB.

I didn't think Barker should have been in there in the first place. Neither of them are very good, but the offensive scheme is so bad it doesn't matter.

If he wasn't pissed after throwing for the first TD we have thrown for in a couple of games I think it would show the kid has no heart. He's set on the sidelines all season and watched the implosion of the UK offense under Towels. Transferring would be his best option.

I bet the Packers are glad Favre wasn't benched after his first interception. ... Barker should of played.... he was our best passer. and what does he get for it... only 8 attempts

I'm glad he was pissed. I would have been too, he's clearly the better option and had a leash about 2 inches long. Towles has a damn mile long leash apparently. I wont watch next week if Towles is the QB.
