UVA Football HC Tony Elliott said that Beau will enter their fall camp as the #1 QB and PITT transfer QB Eli Holstein is #2. Elliot indicated final starting QB will be decided in fall camp.
It should be interesting to see what kind of offense UVA decides to use. Pribula and Holstein are a bit different.

Before he got injured Holstein was an impressive pocket passer with some above average running skills

Pribula can throw the ball but really enjoys calling his own number.

How does he have any eligibility left?
If he finds another year of eligibility, which in the Wild, Wild West of college football these days probably is possible, my guess is that he’d probably be on his fourth team in as many years; he was born a ramblin man.

In a different timeline when Allar declares after the 2024 season, does Beau beat Oregon and is James still here?

Alabama ruined him.

After seeing Beau’s TD/INT stat from last year, I doubt it. It probably would have gone exactly the same.
He would've given Oregon more to think about and created some chaos with his running dimension. My guess is that PSU would've scored more points in the first three quarters of that game with him and ended up winning; again, Allar played terribly in a "big" game until the fourth quarter. Despite their record, that Oregon team was very beatable, and PSU should've beaten them regardless of who played qb.

Which big games do you have psu winning this year?

What are your "big" games. My predicted record is 8-4 or 9-3, so I obviously don't expect us to win most if any "big" games this season. At the very least, I expect losses to USC, Michigan and Washington because USC has the best qb that PSU will play this season and the other two games are on the road.

Having been in the Bama locker room before the season, years ago - every sign and mention of the season ahead was - winning all the games, no losses.
Not just 'hoping for the best' - but isn't positive motivation better for the team and the individual?
At least the Bama locker room said - 'one game at a time, win that game, no losses.'

True, that could have kept the early game a little closer perhaps. It just seemed no matter who the QB was, the boneheaded playcalling in the waning moments was ever-present throughout the Franklin era.

That’s because “hope” isn’t a strategy. Good on Bama

They also would have gotten to think about how many more interceptions and fumbles they would get to return.

Honestly...did people watch Beau play for Mizzou? There's a reason even Franklin didn't want him. Actually th1ere's many reasons but his play last year leads the way. He's in a QB battle for a reason.

If Franklin successfully goes for two in regulation and PSU holds on to win against Oregon, the subsequently beats the likes of UCLA, NW, and Iowa, James is probably still here. Unless he leaves on his own for another destination after the season. Hard to predict though with the Allar injury against NW.
