Cecil Hurt says we expect coop to stick around for the playoffs
If Cecil says it, it must be true. So that's good news. This is the risk when you successfully recruit too many 4 - 5 star QBs. They are not all going to start and those that don't are going to leave.
We may need to look for a grad xfer who could help for a year until Tua is up to speed on the offense. Or a JC guy who would be OK as a backup. Remember, AJ redshirted his freshman year but he was the backup to GMc by the end of the season and would have played if necessary.
