Is Luke injured?

AlexCane said:
@Trav and I went back and forth on this prior to the game.

I understand Emory is the backup and he's likely earned that, but I think the staff knows he's never a starter here either. I would like to get Nickel some live reps so that he is at least somewhat ready to compete next season for the gig.

I watched the spring game and it's just totally different with Emory vs. Luke. Luke brought juice. Emory is Emory. He's what we've seen when bullets are live.

Edit: Here's my post from spring game.

Here are my thoughts. I only stayed for the 1H.

For me, Toney and Pringle were the standouts.

But, first, QBs. I arrived while the QBs were all lofting passes down the sidelines to WRs. In that setting, Judd looks good. He's big and tall and throws a nice ball. Compared to Judd and Emory, Nickel looked like a walk-on. But I was chatting with @DMoney and he noted that Judd and Emory are big dudes. When he was in, Nickel didn't look as undersized as he did in warmups.

In terms of live reps, it was Emory, Nickel, Judd. I'd say 45%, 35%, 20% if I had to guess more or less.

And Saturday will probably be the only game where we see a backup qb barring injury. Really disappointing Nickel didn’t play at least the 4th quarter.

Yea but if God forbid Carson twists an ankle, Emory is next up and they want him as ready as possible. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with this approach, but I know how coaches think.
 
The BCC’s game plan probably cost the a few possessions. They bled the clock all the way down before snapping the ball.

I noticed this too. They slowed the game down immensely. In the 1st half they had the ball for almost 17 minutes.

Game went about as "perfect to plan" as could imagine.

Total control of the clock and and measured first downs.

Almost as if they weren't trying for huge explosive plays but rather to move the chains EFFICIENTLY and march down field...

If you watched the game you would have seen that Miami had very few possessions in the game.

This and plus in today's game there is a running clock so games go by relatively fast.
I hated when the rule was implemented a few years ago. All to speed up the game but at the cost of backup players trying to get some playing time.

When Bethune Cookman started drinking pressure, Emery just unraveled just like he did in the pop tart bowl

Some of you are like crows. Shiny new objects catch your eye every time. I remember when the whole board was nutting over getting Nickel. Now Nickel is a JAG and Coleman is going to be the next guy

It was dumb.

Beck plays 1st half.
Emory 3Q.
Luke 4Q.

It really should have been that simple. We know Emory isn't it, but need to get him some reps just in case. We don't know what Luke is, but need to get him reps to answer that question.

Honestly think they played Beck more so he’d pad his stats for the Heisman. Coaches told themselves it was to work through the kinks. But their inner selves want Beck to be a national media story, the comeback kid.

Seems unlikely, but then again you might not be wrong about that. After all, they did hand off the ball to Fletcher one too many times a couple seasons ago for the story...
