I think White will play well this year.
Question for those that played college ball:
Does the lack of having a starter named add pressure that normally wouldn't be there for QBs? I would think it's a yes. You seem to get the politically correct answer from players when they are asked about a QB battle for the starting position: "They push each other to make themselves better."
I think you get a situation where in the back of the minds of the two QBs they are thinking that if they don't throw this pass perfect, they will be delegated to the backup, and they try to make too perfect of a play/pass and end up with an overthrow/underthrow or a bad decision.
With a starter set the QB can get relax and get in a groove.
Am I way off base with this thinking?
I think you're right but the QBs in all football seem to think they're special. All other positions are platooned.
Having said that, White now has the team. This is his senior year and why he transferred here. He'll get the snaps in practise. This is his big chance.
