“This is the day the Lord has made” is the responsorial song today at Mass. It’s a sign!
We had canticle of the turning, we’ll take that sign too!
FACT: Tyler Buchner is the only QB on the roster to have played meaningful game reps for a Marcus Freeman-coached team
The meaning: total and complete depression at the hands of West Virginia hillbillies

FACT: Tyler Buchner is the only QB on the roster that has been around long enough to know EXACTLY which set of bar stairs to avoid at all costs, and can effectively share that information with his teammates with first-hand knowledge

What are the odds a QB isn’t announced until 8/31?

That’s exactly what’s going to happen.

“We know, the team knows, but we are on a total media blackout until 8/31. You’ll just have to watch and see who jogs out with the offense.”

If Freeman says that, or something similar, then I’ll be comfortable with that. I can appreciate some gamesmanship.

But if it’s something along the lines of “it’s an ongoing competition”, then I’ll be very concerned about the outlook of this season.

Then again, if the players know then I’d say there’s a 0.1% chance a player doesn’t tell a buddy or classmate who the starter is. Then it’ll spread like wildfire.

The staff will have to settle on the starting QB now so they can install their game plan for Miami.

32.33 repeating.

Why would they announce? If Kenny, more ground base plan. If CJ, more air based. Too much of a contrast to tip the cards now.
because at some point you gotta give somebody starter reps. It's not like Miami isn't giving Carson Beck 70 or 80% of the first team reps. And players talk so as soon as somebody is getting starter reps, we will all know.

No way they announce today. I assume tomorrow will be when we find out. I would assume he’ll say “We will circle up as a staff today and compile all the information and decide what’s best.” Tomorrow I assume news will spread of who’s getting reps with the 1s.

They will tell the team. But what's the point of disclosing it any further?
