Mack Playing Freshman

Since we are talking about who should be starting in the secondary next year many of you said it was going to melton and griffin because they were seniors.

You guys are probably right and Mack needs to get away from playing seniors and play the best players no matter what class. Over the past couple of seasons he has lost games because of him being afraid to put freshman on the field until it was to late. Granted their have been instances, Sloan, B.J., and Roy but rarely has he done it. Was one example.

If he said Chris Simms is my qb from day one we would not have had that controversy. Who remembers when he was scared to put Ced Benson in the game vs. OU and his reason was pass protection same thing Da Bears are saying (when we all know its that Lovie doesn't want to affend the veteran). Ced Could have won us the game that year. But mack was to scared and then after the game Mack realized it.

Remember in 2003 by Mack not starting VY from day one. He had to put in Chance because he was more "experienced" what a joke. That cost us the Arkansas game and then he put in VY to save his job vs. K-State. That was the beginning of the VY legend.

Then Mack didn't reward Vince with start instead he put in Chance on the first series and he throws a pick on the second pass of the game (Game Over and the rout is on). Why Mack? He always does this after he needs the guy. Following my trend here. How about in 2004 when he didn't put in RT vs. OU when we desperatly needed a spark in a game that was really winnable and that we could have won and(in my opinion should have won) if Mack wasn't scared. After the OU game in 2004 he decides to put him in.

I know that there have been instances where he has played freshman but don't go JoePa on us Mack.
Play the best players. We have a chance to run the table next year with our schedule. Its probably a two game season. OU and A&M and thats it.

So don't repeat the same mistake over again. If a freshman or underclassmen are better than a senior or junior start him. Please because Marcus Griffin needs to get out of the secondary put him on special teams.

For once do something that Bob Stoops and Pete Carrol do.
