The quarterback situation is going to be the biggest storyline going into the 2007 season, and we still don’t know anymore than we did a few months back. We’re either going to see junior Bill Stull, redshirt freshman Kevan Smith, or true freshman Pat Bostick. None of them have real experience at the collegiate level (Stull’s playing time is classified mop-up duty) and yet Derek Kinder isn’t concerned.
“I think all three of the people in competition right now all have the ability to step in and do a good job,” Kinder said. “They all have some leadership skills, and they all have different abilities. They have strong arms and are athletic.”
Kinder speaks highly of Bostick and how he came in the spring to learn the playbook.
“Bostick, he’s picked up the offense rather well thus far,” Kinder said. “So, I’m real impressed with that, but I really believe that all three of them have a shot to be the starter. And I trust that any one of them, whoever does win the starting job, can step in and help us win.”
Still nothing definitive, but if Kinder isn’t panicking (at least publicly) then it’ll keep be a bit calmer on the situation for at least another few weeks.
