This is not the year to play it safe. I know it. You know it. Kevin Sumlin knows it.
To his credit, Sumlin hasn’t been one to be criticized for being too conservative with his roster. He’s had the guts to start some true freshman (Johnny Manziel and Christian Kirk). There is precedent for juggling a complicated quarterback situation as well. However, that episode ended in chaos. Some of that was due to the personalities of the players in question, but it’s fair to ask whether or not Sumlin has learned his lesson when it comes to playing multiple quarterbacks.
