Curious to see how the 2nd string QB pecking order will eventually shake out this season. Do we think Ty has improved enough to be the unquestioned wingman to Bo? or could Novosad make this a more difficult choice?

Lanning says Austin Novosad has 'made huge strides' this offseason

Oregon coach Dan Lanning was very high on the summer true freshman QB Austin Novosad has had since arriving for spring.

 

Novosad was a 3*, then upped to 4* after the season, Ducks coaches seem to have a good eye for talent, and developing...this is huge.  I saw one ranking of all time Oregon QB's recently and how they rated coming out of HS.  (Mariota was nowhere near the top 15 of that list, Ty was #1 and only 5* QB we've ever landed).  I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the #2 spot this season. 

 

Hopefully he and Ty both play against PSU and Hawaii...and more as we rack up huge scores with our offense, and our improved D creates insurmountable leads, even in conference games this fall.  Don't worry about burning the redshirts, get the talented new kids real game time when able.  Bo will be gone, give the worthy #2 QB max reps when safe to do so

Glad we have options!   Stein's QB haul so far is impressive: Novo, Moga, MVB & Akili Jr.

QB2 is the perpetual Achilles heel of the Ducks. Sure hope they have one this year.
