Returning from Injury, Spencer Sanders Reassumes QB1 Role

Related Topics: Mike Gundy, Shane Illingworth

Mike Gundy last week made headlines when he made mention of the possibility of playing two quarterbacks — both Spencer Sanders and true freshman Shane Illingworth — against Iowa State on Saturday and perhaps as a two-QB staple of the offense moving forward.

It seemed like gamesmanship when he said it. But sometimes Gundy speaks in gamesmanship, other times he keeps it so real he comes across as your crazy uncle.

Which side was he falling here?

Saturday proved it was the former against Iowa State, and probably moving forward, too. Sanders took every snap at quarterback against the Cyclones in returning from an ankle injury that had kept him out since the early portion of the first game of the season.
