Three years ago, University of Toledo coach Jason Candle and then head coach Matt Campbell had to tell quarterback Logan Woodside he would be a backup to starter Phillip Ely.
As another quarterback competition plays out this fall between two main options – Mitch Guadagni and Eli Peters- plus two talented freshmen that could enter the mix – Carter Bradley and Cross Wilkinson – Candle may have to deliver similar news as a starter emerges from the pack.
But Candle has not ruled out the possibility that multiple quarterbacks can be used in a given game.
“At Mount Union, we won a national championship with two quarterbacks and we won a national championship using one quarterback,” Candle said.
