Unless it's Jeff Lindquist. Chris Petersen is playing this one close to the vest, even going as far as to encourage speculation from media and fans. He said he's told the team who the starter is, and to their collective credit, 105 players have been able to keep the secret so far. Chris Fetters tweeted out that Browning is the starter a few days ago, and while that doesn't mean much, of the dawgman. com guys, he's the one that seems the most concerned with his credibility. Let's read tea leaves, just for the fun of it: About a week and a half ago, Jonathan Smith said that Jeff Lindquist had established a slight separation from the other QB's. In his press conference a couple of days ago, Petersen said the decision came down to how the group had practiced "over the last handful of days. Why that means the starter will be Jeff Lindquist: He didn't do anything to lose his lead in the competition. And it's tough to believe that, if he actually had the lead most suggested he did coming out of the spring and through most of fall camp, that three or four practices would trump what happened in the prior 30 or so practices and summer workouts. Why it means the starter will be Jake Browning: I think the coaching staff wanted the (relatively) experienced, physically-ready redshirt junior to win the job. Source: www.uwdawgpound.com
