Quarterback
Starter: Hayden Rettig (R-So., 6-3, 210); No. 2: Chris Laviano (R-So., 6-3, 210); No. 3: Giovanni Rescigno (R-Fr., 6-4, 225). Skinny: The battle between Rettig and Laviano wasn’t decided until after Laviano got caught with a fake ID and suspended for the first half of the season-opener. Yet even with near-equal on-field performance plus Laviano slipping up off the field, coach Kyle Flood has not committed to Rettig as the long-term option. Laviano, who entered training camp with slight edge in the race, continues to get some reps with the first-team offense. Rettig, a LSU transfer who hasn’t played since high school, has shown the velocity to go with his reputable arm strength and is growing more comfortable in the huddle.
