I realize that's a really dumb question. But when your team is down by 50 points in the 4th quarter, why leave your starting QB in the game ? Are our back-up QBs nowhere close to being ready to play in a real game ? Card could have easily suffered an injury playing meaningless minutes. was Purdue trying to score a FG ?

most coaches realize when a game is over to give the back-ups a chance to play. why was Card still playing ?

Probably to give him more experience playing against a good team?
