C-USA coaches differ on picking a QB

MURFREESBORO MTSU coach Rick Stocktstill says he’s in no hurry to pick a starting quarterback.

Some Conference USA coaches have similar patience. Some do not, opting to make a decision sooner rather than later.

MTSU is among six C-USA teams that will pick a new starting quarterback this season. Sophomore Austin Grammer, redshirt freshman AJ Erdely and true freshman Brent Stockstill are vying for the Blue Raiders’ No. 1 job.

Before preseason camps kicked off, a few C-USA coaches facing quarterback competitions weighed in on the different approaches.

Some said you must name a starter to give stability to the other offensive players. Rick Stockstill said that notion is a little overblown.

North Texas coach Dan McCarney has a four-man competition. He puts a value on his players identifying their starting quarterback as early as possible.

“We’ve got to sift through this thing quickly because we go on national TV on Aug. 30 to play Texas, and we have to find who our best guy is,” McCarney said. “We have experience around those guys. The sooner you get them in there the better for chemistry, communication and getting on the same page.”
