How long do you let Milroe play? Obviously you want him to get some game time before the last part of the season and possible playoffs, but you then again you don't need big injuries.

HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two) Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation) if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!
Hopefully Milroe and company can put the game away before the half. I'm sure a large portion of our starters will need some rest after LSU.
Good poll question. I struggled with what Coach may do ... then decided to vote as if I were the coach.
Haha! I would actually let him sit and just practice unless there are some plays that we need to work on for practice.
Until a point where the game's result is pretty much in hand.
If we have a 28 point lead at any point in the 2nd half pull him.

He's probably going to play a full half no matter what, but I don't want to see him run. I'd like to see RPOs where the RBs actually get the carries, and I'd like to see efficiency in the passing game. I would love for Simpson to get some first team reps for no other reason than you just never know when he will be needed.
As much as needed. He needs the reps, though I'd limit his running as much as possible.
Bama *should* roll Mercer, but this might be their superbowl, so suggesting Milroe can sit X amount of time might be a bit premature.

By points. When we get a 30 to 35 point lead, then put Ty in. I'd like to see Ty go in early 3rd quarter. CKD should play Ty as much as possible in the last 3 games.
I chose 1st half but I considered choosing play the whole game just because it would be fun reading some comments about Ty’s playing time and letting him sling it all over the place.
Really though, it would be nice if we could get Milroe out of the game quick. The memory of Tua is still there and it is up to the team to build that strong lead so we can have the opportunity to have Milroe rest up some.

I just hope we don't take them lightly, coming off a emotional win we know what happened in Nashville, I have a feeling this will be like 14-17 point game at half before we wake up, hope I'm wrong!
Thinking we roll over them is what makes for a difficult day. Need to take them seriously until we prove otherwise. Outside of the WKU game, we havent exactly steamrolled anyone this year in the first half it seems.
Samford put up 55 points on Mercer. They don't play any teams with a pulse.

Here's the dilemma. Milroe needs to get enough playing time to keep his record high in terms of national statistics/Heisman, etc. It would not be fair to him to bench him most of the game.
This for me ^^^^
We're on a good run and setting up for a good finish and we don't need to get Milroe hurt in a game against Mercer. If we get a 28+ point lead at any point, start filtering in Ty and others and filter out as many starters as we can without relinquishing the lead.
Milroe is not winning the Heisman this late in the season. Cam Ward and the RB from Boise St have better cases and have been more consistent.
You are correct that Milroe needs the reps and that's why he plays at least the full first half, but most likely to open Q3, as well. DeBoer might want him to stand in the pocket and continue to improve on some of his reads.
Assuming we show up and take care of business like we should, I would say no more than the first half. As was mentioned, the LSU game was pretty physical, and our frontline guys could probably use a little rest.
