Coach Saban a few years ago had 2 talented qb's. Tua and J Hurts. Hurts was struggling and Coach went to Tua. It was genius naturally and Bama went on to win another Natty. Both players ended up finishing great college careers with Hurts transferring to Oklahoma. Coach Saban made a hard choice and it worked out for both players and teams.
I don't like to "pile on" criticism when it comes to the QB position at ND. The pressure is just another level. That being said, I think that having the conversation with Leonard at saying, "Hey you gotta step it up because this guy behind you is coming for your spot." Might just light the fire he needs.
Good analysis. Thanks
Thanks for watching!

Yep. Sometimes you make tough decisions that work out for both playes.
