By the way, those of you who remain wedded to the idea that, sight unseen, Nottingham is the answer to our problelms, better brace yourself for disappointment. Regardless of whether David Shaw makes an announcement, regardless of what it says on the official website, Kevin Hogan is now effectively the No. 2 quarterback. Face facts: Nobody is talking about a "Nottingham package" and Nottingham is not playing in empty-the-bench time.

Although redshirt freshman Kevin Hogan has played a limited role in recent games, Shaw said Brett Nottingham remains the No. 2 quarterback.

FWLIW.

I'm still of the opinion that Hogan's playing time, like that of Loukas, is strictly as a change of pace. There's no Nottingham package because Nottingham runs the base offense.

I've already said about all I care to on this topic.  Would love to see Nottingham get a chance to show what he can do in a game- perhaps he's more of a gamer than a practice player? I doubt he's dramatically better in practice, otherwise I'm sure we would've seen him, but I think it's worth evaluating our other options at a position that is underperforming. That's what happens at every other position on the field, and QB should be no different.

Of note I looked back at the Spring Game numbers, Nottingham was a pedestrian 12 of 19 for 118, but Nunes was an abysmal (and we're seeing now, characteristic) 11-29 for 167. Nunes truly, from high school until now, is not an accurate quarterback.
