The biggest question for the Colorado Buffaloes is who will be the starting quarterback.
Will incumbent Brendon Lewis retain the starting job? Or will Tennessee transfer JT Shrout finally get his chance to run the show in Boulder?
For now, nobody knows who will be the starter. Moreover, there is some uncertainty on who will be the No. 3 QB as well.
As of Monday, Houston transfer Maddox Kopp, Drew Carter and freshman Owen McCown are the most likely candidates to win the spot.
Head coach Karl Dorrell opened up on what that battle looks like and admitted that McCown has a clear shot to the No. 3 job (h/t Brian Howell of Buff Zone).
“I think he’s playing well,” Dorrell said. “He’s in the discussion being in that third position role. Drew Carter’s competing in there, too, and Maddox Kopp.”
The next few weeks should iron out all of these question marks, and McCown made a lot of noise in high school, although Kopp made his way to Boulder for a reason and hopefully a shot at playing time in the future.
Dorrell and his staff have quite a bit to figure out, although it’s always a good problem to have too much talent on the roster.
