RE: Chadd Moore starting at PG tonight

[Brad Holdheide]

Would you rather, as a team, have 5 turnovers and score 51 points, or have
10 turnovers and score 71 points.  We all know where the 5 turnovers and 51
points got us, a loss against Clemson.

 I'm not expecting Chad to instantly cure the offensive woes, but if he can
help open up the offense to get us consistently scoring in the 70's or 80's
then I don't care if he has 4 turnovers a game and plays slightly worse
defense then Taron.
