Actually, as I've said before, I think that the MSU game was the one time 
that Walker should have pulled Baz sooner.  There was no reason for him to 
play the fourth quarter with us up by 35 points and it would have allowed 
CJ to get some quality reps, not just handing the ball off.  But I don't 
think that we ever had the luxury of pulling him at any other time in 
conference play except for the dOSU blowout.
