UPDATE (5:13 p.m.) Headline originally read “Mike Yurcich wants Mason Rudolph to be … Average?” As was pointed out (in the comments and elsewhere), that was a bit of an unfair headline. It has been updated to reflect what I wrote in the actual post.
Mike Yurcich said a curious thing the other about his starting quarterback for the 2015 season. Something that piqued my interest and raised an eyebrow. Here’s what he said to Robert Allen of Go Pokes about Rudolph’s debut at Baylor last season.
“We wanted to protect and make sure we ran the football and made it so if he played average then we had a chance to win the football game,” said Yurcich.
