Tough call; Santa has played in 1 loss in his short career and it was against the highest ranked team (#19) we have played in a while. Tough to pull Santa based on his body of work, and what he has accomplished. No matter who they start, the next guy has to be ready. At some point in this season, Santa will have to make a play against a quality opponent like he did against Nebraska. He has to be ready. Childers skills may become more valuable as the weather turns. Strange that at the end of camp, Thompson was actually ahead of Childers.

Good points. It is almost inevitable we will need both Santa and Childers at times during the season, and both need to be ready. As the weather gets worse, Childers may be more of the go to guy. Yes, Thompson was ahead of Childers, but not now; is that Thompson falling back or Childers improving?
