LITTLE ROCK — Whether an honest perspective from the head coaches or a motivational ploy, ‘unsettled’ describes the quarterback competition at Arkansas and three other teams in the SEC West.
Maybe the men in charge have a gut feeling about the September starter, maybe not. Maybe they simply want to make certain all the candidates continue to work and learn, and are primed for fall practice.
Whatever they’re thinking, Chad Morris, LSU’s Ed Orgeron, Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher and Alabama’s Nick Saban say they will not name a No. 1 QB until August, although Saban’s conundrum is far different because one of his quarterbacks started two national championship games and the other came off the bench to win the second title game.
