The program seems clear enough, and has been clear for a few weeks for those that watch the post-game press conference.

The choice is not Nunes vs Nottingham for 1-3 years.  The choice was Nunes vs. Nottingham for 8-12 games.  Hogan learns the pre-snap reads and the job is his.  So replacing Nunes with Nottingham for 3-4 games would just not be sensible unless Nottingham was much better than Nunes.  And that is unlikely given the Hogan bias.

The Hogan package has been exciting because the offense just seems to click better.  However some of that may have been due to a lack of game film on Hogan and the Hogan plays.  I doubt Colorado will be a good test, so it will be interesting to see what happens during the OSU game since they will have a better opportunity to plan for Hogan.

Very fair point.  I remember back to the Scott Frost days at Stanford and hope this won't be a parallel.  I am going off memory here but I remember us beating Washington with Frost as QB and they were not ready for a QB that could run like Frost.  However, as the season progressed, defenses gameplanned against that and were successful in minimizing Frost's effectiveness.  Hope that analogy isn't relevant here.
