Snyder tabs Ertz as starter

It’s official.

After almost six months of practices, spring games and new arrivals into the competition it didn’t take long for K-State head coach Bill Snyder to officially announce his starting quarterback in Tuesday’s press conference. In fact, before the media could ask any questions it was Snyder who answered the biggest one of all, who would be his starting quarterback.

“Jesse evolved to the top of the race.” Snyder said. “I think it was a consistency factor across the board. From A to Z, name the position, we have had inconsistency throughout our preparation. I think Jesse, from that group of players, performed with greater consistency throughout that time than any of the others did.
