FSU football: How no spring practice affects QB competition

Can Freshmen Make A Move In Short Period?

Is it possible for Tate Rodemaker and/or Chubba Purdy to surpass James Blackman and Jordan Travis if they all start practice at the same time when things get back to normal?

Hear me out. The key to it all is they would all be new to Mike Norvell’s offense and the terminology.

Granted, the three quarterbacks who were there in the spring would have had access to the playbook longer. However, it’s possible Purdy has already received the playbook as well.

It comes down to each player putting in the work back home right now in terms of learning the playbook.

If any player slacks or isn’t consistent during this time, it’ll quickly show when they return to practice.

While the experience Blackman and Travis have thus far is invaluable, the implementation of a new offense, the terminology, and the coaching staff only recruiting two of the four players could be factors.

I’m sure they’ll select the player that gives them the best chance to win. However, they may be willing to take their lumps with a guy with more years of eligibility left who they recruited too.
