The thing about Shrader that I keep coming back to is his HS rankings.  If we'd landed that kid out of HS, there wouldn't be a second thought about him starting.

Also factor in that he performed as a true frosh against elite defenses like Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, etc. and I think we can extrapolate that he's got the chops to play P5.

Now, we have an incumbent in place who also came in with accolades [Elite 11], but who has struggled on the field.  DeVito is going to have his work cut out for him to hang onto the job.  Glad Shrader's in for spring ball -- that will help accelerate his developmental curve in our system.

May the best player win the PT.  Don't care which one of them it is.  But we need to have a winning season and get back to a bowl [B][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]THIS YEAR[/COLOR][/B].  Which to me means that DeVito -- even if he wins the starting role -- will be on a much shorter leash if he doesn't move the sticks and put points on the board.  Dino can't afford another 4 - 5 win season.
