Hooterville, Vir.
I would say that on Saturday just before kickoff, Coach DeBoer should reveal that Milroe is hurt and, while Milroe heals, Ty will start.
This give Milroe top cover ("He's been playing hurt for a few weeks" which is not as insulting as Coach saying, "He stinks on ice. He'll never start again at Alabama." It would also be less insulting to Milroe than saying nothing and just trotting Simpson out there to start on offense.)
It minimizes the risk of a repeat of the USF game from last year (by which I mean players not giving a good effort because they did not like that Milroe got sat down).
It gives Simpson a clean chance to start and see how he does in SEC play with the 1s.
It might present Mizzou something for which their defense has not prepped (or not prepped much).
This situation is quite the mare's nest.

You mean the Mizzu defense would have to prepare for a qb that can read a defense?

I despise that is has come to coaches having to dance around a player's feelings to bench him.

can we do ranked choice voting. I mean Ty seems like the default, but Lonergan has flashed in practice as well. Really they should both should have gotten first team consideration. I'm pretty bullish on Mack also, but the kid still needs to spend some quality time at Dreamland to put on some extra bulk or I think he'd get broken in an SEC season.
