Why Max Cutforth should remain Boise State’s starting quarterback against Oregon State
Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson slammed the door on any potential quarterback controversy during Monday’s press conference.
If Maddux Madsen shows enough in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, he will be behind center for the 25th-ranked Broncos’ (8-1, 5-0 Pac-12) 4 p.m. Mountain time showdown with Oregon State (5-4, 3-2) on Saturday.
But what if Madsen is healthy enough to play, but his injured left knee reduces his mobility and throwing ability?
Should an 80 percent Madsen rush back to the field against a struggling opponent when backup Max Cutforth has delivered five of the best quarters of Boise State QB play since Brett Rypien graduated?
The obvious answer is a resounding “No.”
