I think Hurd gets the first shot at Friday. It seems very important to him, and I'm sure Jay recognizes that.

Holman doesn't really seem to care when he pitches.

Hurd has the more electric, wipe out stuff. Holman is a guy that will not be overly impressive to the naked eye but you'll blink and it'll the be 6th inning and he's given up 2 hits and walked 1 guy without breaking a sweat.

They're both more than capable. I think it's Hurd's job to lose. But, Holman has Team USA experience and has also navigated SEC lineups as a starter. We're still in very good hands if Holman ends up being the guy.

Unless Holman has clearly been better in preseason practices/scrimmages, Hurd is going to get the first Friday start because of a bit of loyalty to a guy who was a part of getting you a championship last season. Now, loyalty won't outweigh production as the season goes on, so things can change. But Hurd will get the first shot (unless he would just prefer pitching elsewhere in the starting rotation)

That's pretty much how I see it as well.
