STILLWATER – Saturday marked the first time since Big 12 Media Days, and the start of Fall Camp Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy and players met with the media.
There was really no question as to what question coach Gundy was going to be asked first. And if you guessed quarterbacks, you’d be right as the first several questions were about Zane Flores and Hauss Hejny.
I won’t list every question below, but here’s a few on the QBs.
On how practice reps are split among the quarterbacks:
"Two guys are getting the majority of the reps, and the two young guys are actually doing really well, but the older guys are sharing the reps with the ones and twos."
On his timeline for announcing the starting quarterback:
“I can't put a timeline when it will happen, and we could wind up playing two in the first game."
On how the quarterbacks are handling the natural ebbs and flows of practice:
"They seem to be fine, both of them are very competitive, and they have high energy and play with all sides of it."
On what he looks for as it pertains to the quarterbacks:
“Production. At some point the team will start to migrate towards one guy which doesn't mean the other guy's not a good player. It means that the team might suddenly start to migrate towards a guy, and they have to be productive."
On how quarterback reps will be split for the season opener:
"It wouldn't even be fair for me to say, I don't have any idea. I'm not saying that we would be able to play two in the first game, I'm not sure. But at this point, we don't have a guy that we would name a starter. So, all options are on the table."
On the last time he had this level of quarterback uncertainty entering a season:
"Two years ago. We don't have anybody that's thrown a pass in a game at this level, so there's a lot of uncertainty. Both guys are doing well, but they've got a long way to go, and we're learning about them just as well as they're learning the system. I think they're well coached and I think they're performing, I think they're competing. But it's unfair for me to say, after four practices, or however many practices we've had, exactly what direction we would go."
