Came here to post this.
The reason we need to run Oliver at QB is that he’s best at the only viable offense we can run at this point. If we had an OL that could set a pocket, I’m sure Lucas would be just fine.
I've got a different take
Playing Oliver in a run heavy version of our O hurts GT FB in the future, next season
Since it is unlikely that a TFr or Portal guy will start at QB in 20, these Reps & these games need to mean something
Playing Oliver in a run heavy scheme just to go 6-6 and earn a low tier Bowl will hurt us next season because Oliver & our other QBs will not have gotten better at what we hope to be doing next season
If we're gonna lose, let's lose by doing something that will pay dividends in 20
QB keepers to beat Citadel won't be of any value come 2020
Kinda amazing that after 9 months in this new system our QBs can't dink & dunk until we get to the RZ and then run the ball to score TDs to beat lesser teams
CFB rules make it impossible to stop dink & dunk passes, yet the QBs we have leftover from CPJ can't even do that
