Everyone has already riffed on the quarterback situation at Kansas State. The indecision around naming a starter may be the reason Kansas State is being low-balled in various preseason predictions. Bill Snyder refused to offer any special insight, at least at Big 12 Media Days. Everyone also expects this situation to be resolved by the first game of the season. But, as Kevin Haskin suggests in the Topeka Capital-Journal, what if it is not? There are multiple scenarios at play, especially with opponent South Dakota losing starting quarterback Kevin Earl to injury for the season. Jesse Ertz and Joe Hubener could trade snaps in the opening game, but maybe the first game is Jonathan Banks' big stage debut. Freshman Alex Delton remains in the mix as well. Whatever the ultimate decision, Bill Snyder's scheduling philosophy gives the team some room to experiment.
Indeed, even Kellis Robinett's Five Questions in the K-Stated series in the Wichita Eagle opens with a question about the quarterback situation.
