Also, you're right he's hurt, but there's an important difference between hurt and injured.
He's not injured. He can still perform and if he wants to play he should play.
There's no point in pulling a hurt player. Everyone is hurt in some way all of the time.
Pulling Zach now takes away his opportunity to correct the problems here.
It will dent his ego which is much more dangerous than playing on a dinged up leg.
Yeah, because letting him be a sitting duck to be teed off on more will really help him learn. Dude is a true freshman, there will be plenty of opportunities to let him face adversity without jeopardizing his future.Also, you're right he's hurt, but there's an important difference between hurt and injured.

OLine not helping
Yes, it will, you see how he's recovering here? That's called mental ****ing toughness. He's learning how to get the ball out on time and protect himself.
If you pull him earlier he doesn't have that opportunity.
Nice play call. Still think that when Seth comes into the game in those situations, they should take Zack out and bring in an extra TE for blocking or another WR to put out wide the other side to open up even more running lanes.
Not saying he isn’t able to perform! Just that having a QB who can’t move playing behind a subpar O-line puts him at a high risk of getting more seriously injured. A stupid risk to take for “learning experience”. We’ll win this game no matter who is back there.Yes, it will, you see how he's recovering here? That's called mental ****ing toughness.

Or - one more bad hit, and he's out for the next month, and the Gophers go into B1G play with no backup QB.

As always. Wrong.
Seth would be the backup. He's no better than anyone we had last year, but we could try and get by with him.
Tanner Morgan is the backup. Green will be used exactly the way he is currently.
Tough crowd
