Montana State looking for winner of quarterback battle to advance program forward

Jeff Choate believes his quarterbacks will never receive enough acclaim for Montana State’s run last season.

Tucker Rovig and Casey Bauman served as backups to each other at different points in the season. Choate, MSU’s head coach, lauded their willingness to take back seats on a run-first offense as the Bobcats reached the FCS semifinals for the first time in 35 years.

MSU has opened up quarterback position battles every year since Choate’s first season in 2016. This season will be no different. Rovig and Bauman, along with North Carolina State transfer Matthew McKay, are competing for a starting role.
