Dana Holgorsen, I say surprisingly, named Clint Trickett his starting quarterback today.

“Clint is 100 percent healthy and is ready to play.” Holgorsen says. “He worked hard last season and showed a lot of ability and leadership and deserves the chance to lead the team as a senior. He will be our starter.”

Mike, you serious? Surprised? 

Letme qualify that: I’m surprised he made the announcement. He’d not done that ever before here. Remember, this is a guy who was announcing his starting quarterback on his radio show on Thursday nights and who has otherwise gone out of his way to keep secrets to maintain edges. So, yeah, this arched my brow.

But the pick? No surprise at all.
