You think the freshman are gonna be able to come in and learn the playbook in time to compete for the starting job? I mean looking back through history it's normally not a matter of talent with quarterbacks but learning the offense that is the biggest hurdle. Remember guys like jameis Winston Johnny Manziel, Russel Wilson, Andrew luck all had a redshirt season. Only recent guys that come to mind that played and played well as freshman are hurts, darnold, and Mayfield.

These freshman ran a similar offense in high school.

Just because the same play is ran out of 15 different formations doesn't mean its a complicated offense to pick up.
