Or Lester and Kirk want to see both qbs perform in game conditions against NIU. Yawn
You can actually name a starter and still see both qbs performance in game conditions. You simply play them both. To think after Spring ball and this fall ball and you're just a couple days from game time and you can't figure out who your quarterback is? Inexcusable and incompetent. Or brilliance. I think the former.

Explain to me how naming a starter fundamentally changes the equation, particularly if both QBs are going to play anyway. Or at the least, explain how not doing so rises from something that might represent a fair difference of opinion to something that is “inexcusable and incompetent.”

Team unity so they can rally around a starter. Projecting confidence in your coaches and system. Projecting strength, confidence, and strong decision making to opponents, fans, the team. All can suffer when you are so lilly-livered after almost a year you still can't make a decision. KF is so boring and risk averse he craps tan colored crap and comes across as a weak knee spineless old man. Jesus man, you are the head coach, make a decision after almost a year. Waiting THREE more days is going to decide it? How laughable and almost embarassing.

Meanwhile, NIU hasn't named a starter. We'll prolly smoke them on team unity alone, I reckon.

All the discussion around QB is to be expected - but a walk on starting at DT is a potentially scary scenario. It might be fine, but it certainly raises concern around depth. Buckle up…!!
