The one thing that we didn't want — and we made it very clear to both quarterbacks — is that we didn't want them to play scared.

I have a pretty good idea of what Donovan's going to do because I know him. I don't have any idea what Bobby's going to do.

At some of the positions we have on our team, some of these freshmen are going to have to play, and we rely on them to learn and gather information and come out here and fight through being a college football player and be able to play in the first game. It takes a lot.

They were so close. I wasn't even going to do it until the game. The offensive staff was tired of messing with it. They wanted to go ahead and name a starter, so that's fine.

Bobby has gotten considerably better, ... We thought as a staff, if he was able to take a majority of the snaps instead of 50-50, it would give him a chance to excel.

We feel like he deserves to start the game with what he's done up to this point, and the other guy deserves to play in the game.

We knew they were going to make mistakes. We knew they were going to make big plays. We didn't want them to think if they did something wrong they weren't going to get back in forever.

I'd guess we'd do about half the stuff on each side this year.
