"To me it's pretty cut and dry," Pelini said. "You evaluate all their snaps, what they're doing. Somebody has to execute and do the things necessary to win football games."
I'm thinking Lee is still the starter against ISU

- Pellini, (un)-interrupted. Tough week for Bo coming off a big and disappointing loss to Texas Tech. But Brophy came through again with audio of a clinic talk Pellini gave while still at LSU on his defense. It’s well worth the listen.

I do think that Sipple is right in that...

the offense needs as much athleticism as possible, so it seems that Green has to be the guy. Don’t get me wrong, people are overreacting to Green’s performance. He threw into coverage quite a bit and probably should have had another interception. But right now, Green looks bigger and quicker and has more potential to make plays with his feet, which will be quite handy until our oline fixes its problems. Maybe Watson is worried that Green will get killed out there as a freshman, esp if he scrambles too much, no idea, but man, this offense needs something.

Its like this, if the QB is surrounded by the 2001 Miami offense, I would choose Zac Lee in a heartbeat. But it seems closer to the other end of the spectrum right now, so I would think the decision is as much about skill set than it is about previous performance.
