This would be a difficult thing for a coach to decide. At what point do you admit to yourself -- and to your team -- that it isn't worth playing your injured starting quarterback? Of course, Stanford fans know all about this -- starting quarterback's out for a road game against a heavily favored opponent -- so we know there are no sure things, but still. Why would they risk further injuring Browning?
Please clear the field! The game is not over!

It is almost always better to face a backup rather than a starter, assuming the opposing coaches are accurately evaluating their own players. But it is not as though Browning has been setting the world on fire this year. An argument could be made that, in this case, it is better to face the QB who has not been that great, but on whom you have a lot of film, than a backup who may not be that much worse, but whom you have not seen at all.

Shhhhhh Todd! We don't want the "Stanford gets lucky and always plays backup QBs" meme to get more momentum.

Looks like the Ole Miss game will go over and we will miss the beginning of our game. Boo

Never has the intrigue over which QB will start for a team been more inconsequential.Â

Sorry for the typos. Im live blogging from the game. Another MCCaffrey run out wide, another hogan scramble for a first. And another nice run by McC.

Three minute drive like a knife through butter. 41 yards rushing on five rushing ays, 1 pass for a TD.
