I started beating the drum for Hogan - I believe shortly after the UW game. IIRC I thought his name was Kyle Hogan. My rationale was that at least he could run, which was better than Nunes who could neither run or pass. There was also quite a bit of buzz about him during camp. My other reasoning was that Nunes had no future and if he beat out Nottingham, then Nottingham wasn't the future either. I thought there would be value to getting game experience for Hogan who seemed to have a considerably higher ceiling. I did not even imagine that a Rose Bowl run could happen. I have to admit the future is calling phenomenon makes me want to see Chryst next year. Just need to trust Shaw on this.
My expectation is that Hogan is staying unless he plays out of his mind the rest of the season. You would think that a starting QB with a Rose Bowl Ring is having a pretty good time in college. With regards to Hulk's point, I've been lucky. If you try to work for and with people smarter than you and went to high school in a sh!thole town, life is more like college - even if you went to Stanford.
