They’re both a little bit different, as we saw, Joe is more of a pocket passer, though he can run, Nick is a less experienced guy, has a real high ceiling, good out of the pocket. I like the fact they both understand their fit in the system.” <- -> It would be silly, obviously, to judge one quarterback against a Big Ten opponent on the road and the other vs. an FCS opponent at home, so the starting job is still in Evers’ possession, but with some qualification. He participated in practice to a greater degree on Tuesday, so in terms of his health he is trending in the right direction, but it’s too early in the week for Mora to say Evers will be ready Saturday. “If he has a good week, yes,” Mora said. “I’m not going to play coy with that. I’ve always believed you pick a quarterback and you go with it …until you don’t. You support the hell out of him until it’s time to make a change. Look, we all appreciate the job that Joe did, I mean, it was unbelievable and yet we, over the course of four-week camp, decided Nick was our quarterback. I know if Nick is called upon, he’ll be ready. He has to prove that to us this week, that he’s ready. And I know if Joe is called upon, we’ve seen that he will be ready.” <- -> “You come out of two games and you feel good about two quarterbacks, that’s a good thing,” Mora said. “Often, they say if you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have any (starter). I don’t think that’s the case here now, so that’s a good thing for us.” <- [/QUOTE]
