Kirk went with JakeC for far too long when it was apparent he was throwing half his passes in the dirt, etc. Even after the bad 2007 passing season he stayed with Jake for half of the first half of the 2008 season. Even at Pitt that year when RickyS looked like much the better qb Kirk put Jake back in for the 2nd half and went with him to an unneeded loss.
C'mon Kirk, you saw Joey L do a decent job in his only start. He threw the ball pretty well, he didnt make big blunders, he helped give the hawks a bowl victory. You have tape on him playing in a big P5 game. Let him be #1.
Deacon looked decent in his first drive but I suspect many of those plays were scripted and practiced a lot. Once the 2nd qtr started and the scripting was over Hill just didnt get it close to done.
Deacon might get better for next year or even later this year, but as most coaches do sit Hill, let him reflect and watch the action, try Labas or Lainez.
