Let's see how he does against EIU and really the big test will be San Diego State.

If he's bad against EIU, I'll be with you. And if he's bad against EIU I think you'll see santa.

This scenario illustrates my point about Carey's dilemma. Carey is now almost to the point where he has to pick a lane, and has to stay with it. Assuming you are right, if Graham is ineffective against EIU, Santa's 2nd career start would come against Nebraska; talk about putting a kid in a tough situation. One crazy scenario could be if Graham stays healthy and just does okay, he could be your starter for this season and next; at that point if any other QB will be "developed" it will be Hall; you would not see Santa, Thompson or Childers. If that happens at least one of those three would surely transfer.

Thats my concern...Graham is going to do "OK" and we are stuck with him. I need him to be great vs EIU to swing me back. Anything less than a stellar performance and I'll be convinced he will be terrible vs Nebraska. thats probably unfair to him, but he has a long way to go to win the fans over. He's put himself in that hole.
