Turnovers however are part of the game; the best way to eliminate turnovers is never throw the ball at all; and against KSU level of compition that could work. Santa should be the starter this week, but it would not suprise me at all if he is not. At that point (starting Childers), Carey has to stick with his decision. If Childers starts and is less than effective, and you bring Santa in, you now have a circus on your hands. Both (all 3 QBs) will be playing to not make mistakes; when you are in that mindset as an athlete you are screwed.

Childers skills appear to be in Carey's comfort zone; Santa's do not. It may be the right move now that we are in MAC play; I highly doubt it would have worked against SDSU, and definitely not against Nebraska.

Yea that's what worried me about the quick hook for Santa against Kent State. You can't keep doing that. And I think that Santa was only effective because he wasn't playing tight and overly worried about making a mistake.
