But wouldn't it be better to name him now so one person can start taking all the reps with the 1s considering neither have been able to learn the offense that long?

How do you know JB hasn’t been taking most of the snaps over the past week?

How do you see this game going with 2 QBs?


...similarly to a single QB.

If he's playing 2, it's because he doesn't have confidence in either. And, we're likely going to struggle either way.

Come on. Tell us the truth. Who do you think is the starter?

This is the worst kept secret in college football at this point.

Wasn't Orgeron on record praising Brennan about well he's doing and how he's improved?

Ed's not showing his cards at all right now. Even if it is Burrow, he's playing mind games...........with no one but himself.


And this board, apparently

wondering the same thing.

In fact, if Burrow isn't as good as we hope (or hype), then I'm all for naming a starter for each game independently.

Let the game prep decide which QB starts based on weekly performance AND keep them competing year round. Not only do they get better, it keeps the so-called backup starter-ready.

I can't help but remembering Spurrier benching QBs for lack of performance and the wonders it did to the temporarily out of favor starter. Including a Heisman winner.

He may not PUBLICLY name a starter in order to keep Miami guessing.

Orgeron likely won't name a starter until we see who runs out there for the first snap Sunday. Les would have done the same thing. I haven't seen Nick Saban name a starter either and don't expect him to. And why would they?

It means we will have a 2 QB backfield where Brennan and Burrow lineup in a Shotgun Offense and the Center chooses which one he will snap it to.

If I am running O's PR, I'm asking him to announce this solely because of this. You aren't going to lose a game because the opposing team knew who your QB was going to be.

IF BURROW DOESN'T START...I personally don't think it's a good sign that you took a Grad transfer and the guy you wanted to redshirt this season has now outplayed him.

It probably means that Brennan, Narcisse, and McMillan were so bad that we had to take a chance on a grad transfer. But it at least shows Orgeron recognized that and tried to find a guy that could play. However, I don't think anyone would be upset if Brennan has a great game. I don't think anyone really cares who starts as long as the guy starting produces.

Y’all dont know that isn’t already happening. burrow might be taking 100% of the snaps at practice for 2 weeks now. Orgeron just hasn’t announced that and frankly it doesn’t matter.

The only thing that matters is winning. The PR will take care of itself if Orgeron wins. Les sounded like a bumbling retard 95% of the time, but he won and was loved. Naming a starting QB is for nothing else except giving the fans and media something to talk about. But I also disagree, naming a starting QB does benefit the opposition if they only have to prepare for one guy. Burrow and Brennan do not have the same skillset. If it was a competition between two prototypical pro-style QBs, then no it wouldn't matter a whole lot.
