There seems to be a consensus that Chubba is now #2 on the QB depth chart.
But I ask this...if we're at Clemson in a dog fight and Travis has to leave the game for some reason, who do we want in there? I can see the argument for Chubba because he can run the offense that Travis is running. But he's not nearly the running threat that Travis is, and he's only played a little over 4 quarters of CFB so far. Tough environment to put him in.
Seems to make more sense to use the guy with loads of experience, and hope that he can move the chains with quick and decisive throws.
I can already hear the responses about the OL and pass protection. But Clemson's pass rush will be relentless either way.
Caveat - I'm hoping that Travis will play every snap the rest of the season, except maybe for UMass if we're leading comfortably.
