But with two full weeks to prepare is that really all his fault? It has seemed to me all year that we have never protected him adequately and that our play calling has rarely been such that he can build steady confidence and get the ball to multiple receivers. Chickens came home to roost today.

2013 W&M QBs: 53.5% completion, 2040 yards, 170 yards/game, 6.8 YPA, 10 TD, 6 INT
Cluley this year: 52.8% completion, 898 yards/game, 149 yards/game, 6.2 YPA, 3 TD, 3 INT
The loss is not entirely on Cluley, to be sure, but to say he's an upgrade from the QB play the last 4 years is not supported by statistics right now. 2nd worst completion percentage, worst yards/game, worst YPA, and 2nd worst TD/INT ratio. If the argument is that he should get more time that's a reasonable argument but let's not pretend he's been a massive upgrade throwing the football.
