I can understand--but not agree with--the argument that Reich shouldn't start Brown on Saturday because the game is on the road versus a vastly superior BYU team. Better to give BG a bye week and one more chance to show improvement and, if necessary, start Brown for a winnable home game vs. Boston College, a team that was picked to finish 13th in the ACC this year.
My opinion, however, is that adversity is the best teacher, so let Brown show what he can/cannot do vs. BYU.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
