Conventional wisdom said Jayden de Laura, despite missing spring practices due to a suspension, would be under center for the Washington State Cougars today. Throughout the fall, it was clear he and Jarrett Guarantano were the only ones competing for the starting job.
Conventional wisdom be damned, apparently.
Cougfan is reporting that the Tennessee Volunteers transfer will be the Cougs starter when they take the field against the Utah St. Aggies this evening. Guarantano, unlike de Laura, did take part in spring practices but hadn’t really separated himself from de Laura in the QB competition even this week, with head coach Nick Rolovich only narrowing it to the both them.
