David Cutcliffe pulled off a bright coaching decision by swiftly announcing Sunday that Thad Lewis would be his starter for this Saturday's matchup against the Kansas Jayhawks.
However I have only one dilemma with the means Cutcliffe went about this. It essentially is such a trifling factor and I was reluctant to even bring it up, although felt compelled to do it.
Cutcliffe revealed Lewis was one of a selection of players who had caught the flu and missed practice time.
If you tell me Lewis is a hero, I am fine with that, basically since I don't have a choice and you might care less what my belief is. Although there's additionally the fact that you're the head coach/qb guru and identify a lot more than I will ever understand regarding that position.
There is no need to tell me Lewis is not 100 percent.
He definitely said he did not want to cause a qb debate, although, as the majority of people know, quarterback controversies nine times outside ten are started by enthusiasts and media, not coaches.
If a quarterback debate manifests because of Renfree's great performance and Lewis' not so great performance then deal with it if the questions turn up.
While I agree with his choice and swiftness of it he may have opened up a undersized door for criticism of his starter.
If Lewis does not play favorably at Kansas then Cutcliffe will surely face questions regarding whether or not Lewis is 100 percent and if he is not, why isn't Renfree playing more?.
So for the coach's sake I hope Lewis steps up and wins or has a nice game, because the absolutely last thing the team needs right now in the wake of the great motivator of beating Army is a controversy.
Just ask Coach K if you're looking for a second opinion. He has had to deal with 1 or two of the type.
