KEVIN REDFERN: This is the million-dollar – or lack thereof – question. Tempe seems to be split on whether it wants the Marana product in Trenton Bourguet, or the Alabama transfer Paul Tyson. Bourguet (8-for-12. 115 yards, one TD) and Tyson (10-for-16, 150 yards) have a combined experience of about one total game of collegiate football.
People with knowledge of the ins-and-outs of the program expect Bourguet to compete. In three years at ASU, he has moved up the depth chart from scout team QB to the true backup. His football IQ is supposedly very high, and he is not expected to struggle learning a new system from incoming offensive coordinator Glenn Thomas.
