While that is true, there is no comparing going against your own team in practice to a game environment against an unfamiliar foe with 50k screaming fans hovering over you. If Herbert gets dinged up, our next guy (who is a true frosh) needs to be as ready as possible and that training should start game one.[/quote]UofDuck wrote:
Playing against the 1st team defense on a weekly basis is very valuable, as well.
If he's getting into games in the 4th quarter to run out the clock, there won't be 50k fans in the stands, nor will they be screaming. lol
