When Bob Diaco took over as the UConn football coach, there was a three-way competition for the starting quarterback spot between Chandler Whitmer, Casey Cochran and Tim Boyle.
With Whitmer exhausting his eligibility, Cochran retiring due to concussions, Boyle is the only incumbent left to battle for the starting spot. Bryant Shirreffs, a transfer who sat out last season and ran the scout team, and Tyler Davis, a freshman, are battling for the QB1 spot along with Boyle.
Diaco did say that he wants to have a starting quarterback named by the end of spring and according to his comments on Monday, it’s quite possible that there could be one by the end of the week.
Watch and/or listen below as Diaco talks about the competition at quarterback for the UConn football team:
