PULLMAN — Ahead of the first Apple Cup in Pullman in three years, Washington State isn’t sure who will start at quarterback.
Third-year sophomore Jaxon Potter, who started each of the Cougars’ first three games, will compete during this week’s practice with redshirt freshman Julian Dugger and fifth-year senior Zevi Eckhaus for starting duties on Saturday. That’s the word from coach Jimmy Rogers, who is ready to reevaluate things at that position, he said Monday.
“If don’t open this and make it competitive, what does it say to the team?” said Rogers, who named Potter the starter after a fall camp competition. “We’re looking for answers right now, and we’re looking for a competitive depth, and we’re looking for guys that want to continue to grow. It’s not just at the quarterback position.”
