Rabalais from The Advocate suggested that there’s more than just a tactical advantage at play in Kelly not naming a starting QB. Not sure what Rabalais was implying because the article was later removed before I could click on it at 4:00 am. But my guess is, there is another advantage in Kelly not naming a QB until game day. Less pressure on the one starting and it makes both QB’s feel they’re in this together as a team. That’s an obvious advantage.

The BR media is panicking because they don’t like to be kept waiting.

He clearly stated the team knows so your reasoning doesn’t match what he said. He just doesn’t want fsu to know. There is film on both qbs. One is legit 4.4 fast. That’s why. Forces fsu to prep for two qbs that have a different set of talents.

I feel like they’ll both play until they’re 100% confident in one

The reasoning still stands. I'm not saying this is the case, but limiting OUTSIDE pressure is absolutely something that can be done by not naming the starter publicly.

"This is a 1A and 1B. This is not a 1 and a 2. Both are going to contribute this year."

Yeah, we're going to be running a 2 QB system

I thought the same thing. Was hoping one would take it. Daniels speed makes him dangerous.

Soft as Charmin....he had the first question yesterday in the press conf. Everybody knows that the QB situation is the hottest topic and he bitches out and asks some softball question.

I was told he still hasn’t told the team. As of yesterday 1st team reps were still split 60-40 in Daniels advantage

Can you place bets at sportsbooks on who LSU's starter will be?

It's funny how everyone was saying there is no tactical advantage to waiting. Now that he is intentionally not disclosing before kick off there is definitely a tactical advantage, but there is more to it.

BR media in the dark means they have to sell phantom news like “more than meets the eye” tangential news.

As in, we don’t know who QB starter is so let me tell you how this benefits the air pressure in the team bus and everyone is safer because of it.

i think they'll both "start", just for the shite of it. one in the shotgun and one lined up out wide. then we can put aside all this who started bullshite, as they'll both likely get snaps early on until 1 separates.

He's implying that it is regard to transferring. Or... and this would be crazy but not unknown, he's just wanting to say "Coach Matt Kelly is mean to us in the press".

and that's exactly why it is BS... the people that Rabalais is implying it is to have an effect on already know.

They are used to O giving away all the injury information, so this is a shock to the system.

This makes no sense. If there was any pressure it would be for someone to say who it is.

Imagine what BK would do if it leaked.
