Black Friday Can Be Lebby's 09 Egg Bowl Moment
Lebby has a chance to right every wrong in some folks eyes 11 days from now. Go back to November 28, 2009 (also Black Friday btw). We were 4-7 and were going nowhere and OM was 8-3 and headed to their 2nd straight Cotton Bowl. Mullen saw the offense needed a spark and inserted Chris Relf. The rest is history.
Jeff Lebby has the chance to do the same thing. Start Kamario Taylor, who has been mostly hidden, and take the reigns off. If it works, he goes 6-6 and goes to a bowl. He would force OM AT A MINIMUM on the road for a playoff game. And he could give Lane Kiffin an L heading out the door.
At a certain point you have to start thinking about the future. Dan Mullen realized that on Black Friday at halftime in that locker room. Jeff Lebby needs to realize before that. This is not a knock on Blake Shapen. I think Blake Shapen gave us everything he could. And he gave us some good moments. He gave us some bad ones too. He just cannot hold up behind that line and be successful. It's time to make switch for no other reason than we need to know what we have. Because if Kamario balls out, then we're looking for a high level backup out of the portal and can spend money at other positions. If he bombs, you have to go get a P4 starter caliber QB and that will cost you 1.5 MINIMUM.
Now the 4 million dollar question, do I actually think he will go with Kamario Taylor? I do. I think if we didn't have a bye right now I'd say differently, but the bye gives us the opportunity to formulate a gameplan around Kamario.
