Kudos to deacon14 for presenting a reasonable argument.
That said, this Board has has closed the book on Mitch Griffis after 5.5 2023 games (which seems unfair, but it is what it is), and there is no reversing course among the loudest here. He is dead to them. He's a punching bag.
FWIW, feel like Norvell (0-4 against Clawson) and FSU (no one of the FSU roster has beaten WF) really want to beat WF, and beat WF badly. It's personal for them. They have heard about WF current streak against the Noles all off-season. Unlike most seasons for the Noles, the game against WF has been circled and used to stoke the Noles for months.
So, fear that WF will take it's lumps whether the Great Santino or Mitch Griffis or Sam Hartman or Norm Snead starts. Agree with deacon14 that there is a slight chance the game would be less ugly with Griffis starting, but don't see it making a difference.
FSU will send the house early and often and we may even be down to a 4th string QB (do we have one?) by half. We just need to speed up the game with some semblance of a run game and fight another day for our bowl season. I see two possible wins left and a bowl season given this team would be nothing short of a damn miracle.
Oh, and I would start Marucci because I believe he earned that honor. Will it make a difference against FSU? No. As even Clawson stated, not even Tom Brady would be much help with our current OL protection. They will be in our backfield the entire game. As for Griffis, it's obvious he's not physically capable of playing at this level. He's just not.
