Ya know....Holtz had Higgins as a starter, or sometime starter his freshman year, and then Higgins rode the pine as Sokol and Driskel were brought in. To Higgins' credit he didn't quit (might have pouted, but kept it to himself) and when again given a chance to be the starter he shined! So....! wonder if Holtz would consider that re: Smith? Why not bring in a QB for next year, like a Sokol or Driskel, or maybe a JUCO transfer who, like Smith would have two years of eligibility left?
Some insist that no way will Holtz bench Smith, but he sure as hell did it to Higgins after 2013.
