Tony Sanchez’s self-given deadline to name a starting quarterback by next month is approaching fast, and the UNLV coach isn’t close to making a decision with eight spring practices gone by.
For Sanchez, the race between Armani Rogers, Johnny Stanton and Kurt Palandech is just starting to heat up.
The quarterback trio traded long balls during Friday’s in-team scrimmage, with Stanton completing arguably the best pass of the day on a near mid-field bomb to wide receiver Brandon Presley.
“We’re just trying to raise the competition level, but still help each other at the same time,” said Stanton, a senior who started four games last season.
