TROY – Despite the addition of another transfer this week into an already crowded quarterback room, Gunnar Watson, the primary starter the past two seasons, appears close to earning the
During the second scrimmage of fall camp Saturday, Watson worked mostly with the No. 1 offensive unit and directed a couple of touchdown drives, which included a nice pass to the back corner of the end zone that Devonte Ross made a terrific over-the-shoulder catch on near the end of the scrimmage. He also combined with Dothan product Jabre Barber on multiple throws and catches throughout the lengthy practice.
Jarret Doege, a prolific passer with one season of eligibility left, joined the quarterback mix Thursday as a transfer from Western Kentucky and saw some action during the scrimmage. He and Utah transfer Peter Costelli got the most time at quarterback behind Watson. “I was at Western Kentucky and they just kind of went with a different guy,” Doege said. “I felt like I’ve put too much into the game just to sit there and not play.”
“It’s really complex,” Doege said of the offense. “I’m used to air raid style … really easy plays to learn … so it’s going to take me a while to learn the offense.”“You know, he’s had a good college career to this point – a lot of yards thrown, a lot of touchdowns thrown – so it will only help our quarterback room,” Craddock said. “We just felt like at the time we needed to take him and give us another element to the quarterback room.”“Oh it’s been good,” Watson said.
Defense shines: The Trojans’ defense had the upper hand much of the scrimmage, which included returning two fumbles for scores and one interception.
