ORLANDO - It’s pretty unusual for the scout team quarterback to become a topic of conversation heading into a bowl game, or any game for that matter.
But when there is a great deal of speculation that the scout team QB could be the starting QB next fall, it happens.
Senior guard Trip Thurman was asked about Luke Del Rio on Monday. The Oregon State transfer is ineligible this season, but is considered a viable candidate for the starting role in the spring, based on his performances during summer workouts and this fall on the scout team.
