I have only 1 hope this year. Please don’t “anoint” a starting QB if there is not one - a clear #1 starter. Let each have some time on the field to make their case.
IE if our starter refuses to pick up a fumble because he doesn’t want to take a hit - bench him! Let the next man come up and “win” the position.
“Riding the horse“ has not gone well for us - let’s let each of top QBs get some game reps as situation demands.
Now with that being said, I saw lots of true freshman QBs last year take the helm and lead their teams. While I am not in favor of putting Cole on the road at Maryland for the whole game, let us not forget that Texas football is not like in New England. These kids are not unaccustomed to playing in front of tens of thousands of opposing fans.
If Cole is the better QB, suit him up and let him play, I don’t want to see the T’Quan sequel with Evers. A QB with very few snaps but highly recruited - come into to show us why he didn’t play for the school he was originally recruited to play.
This isn’t a knock on Evers - It isn’t - I haven’t seen him play - just saying I don’t want us to follow the same strategy that led us into the gutter last year.
