What's more, if the D is giving up on games, the coach risks having them give up on the program and leave en masse if he doesn't give them some offensive help and hope for the future.
I'm guessing JM gives the dynamic duo one more game to see if anything clicks. If not and we lose again, maybe we'll see the youngsters play some in the last 4 games when they can't lose their redshirt and there is zero pressure on them.
