re: QB Battle - Score card...........

Watching how Vandy declared a starter after a long offseason battle for the spot, then promptly yanked him during the first game and threw an even worse QB out there, was bad. It was an absolute disaster. And it ruined that QBs confidence.

If there's a clear separation in skill, I think they'll give the starter a fairly long leash. If it's close, then maybe game time is the best way to test their mettle. If someone can't operate against Vanderbilt in week two, under pressure for their job, then maybe they can't handle the pressure of playing Alabama on ESPN gameday.
