Can we all agree that it is time to start Mosley. At least it would bring some fresher blood to our offense. It's not like we could be any worse. It's time to get rid of Champion.

Not sure if getting rid of Champion is the right thing to do or will help, but we need to make changes just for the sake of trying new things.
Change everything. Play the young guys.
I'm not saying he's better...just different.
One thing is for sure. Champion can only be good a one thing, not making mistakes. He isn't a playmaker, when he tries to make plays he makes turnovers. With the D we have this year we need a play maker. Watching Mosley tonight made me believe that he is a playmaker. He hand a TD pass dropped twice tonight. I think we should start him.
I don't agree with starting Mosley over Champion, but I think Mosley should have been brought in WELL before the final possession of the game. I wish they had put him in after the first series in the second half, and let him play with more of the first team guys on the field.
I think I can see Bicknell's perspective on keeping Champion in to get him more seasoned for next year (we have been playing for next year ever since the Idaho game, in case you haven't noticed), but for the VERY SAME REASON, Mosley needs to get more real-game experience. For one, it may help push Champion to play smarter, and will give him some real competition to play better in the offseason. Second, it will give us a seasoned backup if Champion does keep the job next year. If Mosley only ever sees one drive per game, that doesn't really help anyone. That's the kind of crap that got us in this mess to begin with.
If Champion wasn't ineffective, I wouldn't care...but he is. We're getting blown-out and he turns the ball over. Start Mosley.

Champion sucks......he had 11 games to improve and he hasn't So I say put in Mosley!

I thought Mosely should have started the season from watching the spring scrimmage and fall scrimmages. He should have started and finished the second half of the game last night. Next spring the QB position should be wide open with Mosely and Jenkins getting most of the reps. I say this because we know what Zac can do. I'm not knocking Zac we just need to see if there are better options. My .02.
Mosley needs to start for the simple fact that the season is over. Why not get a guy some experience, so he is prepared to play next season. Let's make the change, for the good of our team and program next season.
Mosley looked fine last nite, but remember he was playing against second/third teamers. His last pass to Morris bounced ten yards in front of him. He definitely looked very quick.
I think this is exactly what the coaches believe they are doing. They just are doing it with Champion.
I don't know a lot about football, but I think it is premature to toss Champion completely. I think we are reaping what was sown in keeping him on the bench his first few years and then tossing him into the fray as a starter. This is EXACTLY why Mosley needs more reps. He needs a chance to lead AT LEAST 2 or 3 drives in a row per game. Not this one drive at the end thing.
Champion has been required to do all of his maturing while also being asked to lead the team. It was STUPID to put him that situation. He should have been getting increasing amounts of game experience the last couple of years, and a lot last year, to let him mature in the skills needed to manage games, and THEN elevate him to starter this year to let him learn to lead.
I think Champion also has some intagible qualities that the coaches like, and that may be one of the bigger reasons he got the nod over Mosley. I just hope that Mosley sticks with it and gets his turn to take the reins.
how bout we just gove mosley a chance... it couldn't get any worse!
How about Broderson? Give him a chance against Fresno. Who knows, we might find a diamond in the rough. (Note- I am not saying don't play Zac. I just want to see Broderson get some play time as well)
