Entering the season, there wasn’t a quarterback controversy. The only question was who the primary backup to Matt Corral would be. The coaches never talked about another quarterback as an option to start.
Would it be John Rhys Plumlee, the baseball prospect who was fast but expected to be very raw, or would Grant Tisdale, the Allen, TX star who has a good arm but wasn’t supposed to be quite the runner necessary immediately?
Then Matt Corral got hurt after struggling a bit in the fourth game of the year, a loss to Cal.
