OPINION: Why not both?

In the beginning of the season redshirt-junior Shai Werts was injured, throwing redshirt-freshman Justin Tomlin onto the field and in the starting position for two games.

Discluding the LSU game, both quarterbacks have played and started in two full games with each collecting a loss and a win. With the return of Werts, many questioned if Tomlin was going to see much playing time since he had found success on the field.

That question was answered by Head Coach Chad Lunsford in a press conference, where he made clear that Werts is the starter and there are no plans to rotate the two.
