Tony Elliott is still undecided at quarterback and no this is not good news Chris Graham here talking UVA football going into training camp the word around the UVA football program was that Tony musket was the clear number one at quarterback the fifth year senior uh but now the word and this is coming straight from Tony Elliott himself is that he still has not decided on who is going to quarterback's going to be between Tony musket and Anthony kandria and this is not good uh you know whatever reason you may have for for not naming a quarterback it's not good here's the quote from Elliott after practice on Monday you know I'm hopeful that as we get through this week in fairness to whoever it is at least we have a week to prep as a starter but you know we're going to have to have some tough conversations with all of our Personnel over the next couple of days so training camp ended uh now Virginia is into gameweek phase even though the opener is August 31st we're still 10 days away a little bit of extra time to you know get the game plan together etc etc so it's down to musket who was the starter at the beginning of the season last year started six games he was in and out of the lineup with injuries Anthony kry the who has a true freshman stepped in and started six games um pretty much similar numbers um uh you know similar passer ratings completion percentages touchdown interception ratios uh you know they're they're in a lot of ways the same guy uh the uh ideally to me musk's the guy uh just from a succession standpoint musk's a fifth year senior he's done with college after this year uh kandre as a sophomore has three years of Eligibility whether he uses one of those years this year uh and then you know Junior and Senior year the next two years or if he red shirts this year he still has three years left after this year um you know to me the worst case scenario here is they both shuttle in and out of the starting lineup there's no continuity the offense and and you musket uh doesn't uh you know shine enough to keep kandre from burning the red shirt uh and so you waste a year of his eligibility um to get half a guy the hard thing to tell here is is it is the fact that there's no decision made because neither has distinguished himself and the choice comes down comes down to the lesser of two evils or is it just that they're both playing so good that you can't go wrong either way I don't think the ladder unfortunately um so you know going into the camp again musket was was the guy we were told was the guy um you know Elliot even I mean so I said worst case scenario even worse he suggesting he might play both in fact the question was asked of him a depressed um Gaggle after practice uh on um Monday uh if he was going to do a 2qb you know system and he said he might and H you know the old saying in football is if you have two quarterbacks you don't really have one um I hate to say it you know I'm the guy who's been positive about UVA football going into the season but it's starting to feel to me already that things are going off the rail with a season
