Jack Allison – Noteworthy
West Virginia football coach Neal Brown said Wednesday that Jack Allison, Austin Kendall and Trey Lowe will all get a look to be the Mountaineers’ starting quarterback next season. Everyone will get a fair shake in West Virginia’s quarterback competition, but that doesn’t mean it should be expected to drag on longer than necessary. Making an appearance on MetroNews Sportsline, new WVU coach Neal Brown discussed his philosophy for sorting through quarterback competitions dating back to his stint as Troy’s offensive coordinator in 2008. “Every competition we’ve had going back to 2008, it’s ‘make a decision when it’s clear,’” Brown said. “Don’t try to trick the guys in that room.”
All three scholarship quarterbacks on roster will have an opportunity to demonstrate their strengths this spring. Brown said he’ll ask Jack Allison, Austin Kendall and Trey Lowe to each pick plays they feel most comfortable running. “Jack, tell me some pass plays you really liked. Austin, what were some of your favorite things at Oklahoma? Trey, what did you like as you learned the system and got comfortable last year?” Brown said. “You build your offense, as far as calling plays, around the quarterback and offensive line. We want use what our quarterbacks are most comfortable with and stuff that’s worked for us in the past, as well. It’s going to be kind of a group effort as far as forming what we’re going to do.” – The Dominion Post
