The plan to replace Rising has been in action longer than a year as we were expecting him to leave after the ’22 season. This plan is much more developed than the one for the replacement of Brewer when Rising was much of an unknown. Now we have two capable options instead of the single option for a replacement for Brewer.
Until we see Rising for a couple of drives, I expect Rose and Johnson, one or both, to be our QB following everything we would be doing if Rising left last year. Along that line, Whitt would be giving very little insight as to who will start given they have two different playing styles. Since there is little more insight than this, all we can do is sit back and enjoy what gets reviled to us.
Whoever plays will have a good OL, running game, and improved WRs to help them along. Florida also has a new QB and more questions on offense than Utah. Both will have a good defense I think. We don’t have to be firing on all cylinders, we just need to be better that Florida with the same issues but in SLC this time. We will be fine.
