No sugarcoating here. It was Luke Doty’s starting position for a reason and everything I’ve heard indicated that he was pretty far ahead.
As for what was the backup QB position - and now starting spot - my guess is you will see a full-on QB battle to earn the start for game one if the way the second spot has been handled is any indication.
It is my understanding that both Jason Brown and Colten Gauthier had been taking reps with the second team.
Both have shown flashes while both have been making that transition from high school/FCS ball.
I say all that to say, I wouldn’t just automatically assume that Brown starts because he is older.
Gauthier has had some really nice moments it’s just about whether you want to put all of that on a true freshman.
We will of course be tracking the movement at that position moving forward.
On a quick positive note, I’m told that Doty is in good spirits. He’s dealt with being out with an injury before and is ready to help in any way he can.
EDIT: Jason Brown did take the first of the first team reps today, so that isn't nothing.
