Stanford's Quarterback? Stay Tuned!
The season opener is just 10 days away. Who will be taking the snap for Stanford? If the coaches have made a decision, they aren't sharing it.
Andrew Luck is turning out to be a really tough act to follow. Regular scrimmages are over and the kickoff of the season opener is fast approaching—yet the Cardinal has still not named a new starting quarterback.
According to Stanford's web site, the candidates for the job performed well at Sunday's scrimmage, “Senior quarterback Josh Nunes (7-of-10 passing, 49 yards, 1 TD) and junior quarterback Brett Nottingham (5-of-6 passing, 125 yards) each led the offense to score a touchdown. Nunes connected up top with senior tight end Levine Toilolo for a six-yard score, while junior running back Jackson Cummings scampered 34 yards for the other touchdown of the day.”
