Quote:It seems there are a lot of mentally challenged fanboys on this board. I'll go slowly.


1. Mac gave certain starters and NFL guys an entire week off so that freshman (true and RS) and 2016 contributors could get meaningful practice time for next year. Guys who wouldn't be playing in this game at all. They continued to get reps even after the starters and NFL guys returned. What are the consequences?

A. It means that Mac and co. didn't prepare for this game like he would a normal regular season game. As I said, he used a lot of those practices as a early spring. The starters didn't get the same reps they normally would. For example, guys like Sandifer or Buchanon got to run with the ones on the o-line. That is valuable experience for 2 redshirt freshman. It gave them a shot to impress the coach as they will be competeing for one of the guard spots next year.

B. What do you think it tells his team about this game if he is spending so many of the practices as prep for next year rather than game planning like he normally would for an FSU or UGA?
