BLOOMINGTON – Following the conclusion of his first preseason scrimmage, what he sees as “preseason game No. 1” in preparation for the Sept. 4 opener against Illinois, IU coach Tom Allen confirmed the public won’t know his starting quarterback until then.
Allen will know, ideally within the next week, whether he’s going to run with Jack Tuttle, Connor Bazelak or Dexter Williams II. Teammates will know. Coaches — chiefly among them co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Walt Bell — will know.
