Brehaut v. Craft: Battle For Number 2

So at least from the reports it sounds like Kevin Prince is doing everything he can solidify his status as the number 1 QB. Meanwhile there is a battle brewing between Brehaut:

For the number 2 spot behind Prince:

"I think we’ll wait until after Saturday (when the Bruins scrimmage) to see what happens, and see if we need to make a decision after that," Neuheisel said after Wednesday morning’s session. "The idea is to spend a couple more days finalizing the decision, and then Wednesday you go into full preparation for San Diego State. The decisions will have to be made at some point by then. Usually when you’re making those kinds of close decisions, both guys will play."

Craft has experience on his side.

Brehaut has had his nose buried in the Bruins’ playbook for months. And he’s the roommate of starting quarterback Kevin Prince.

"It’s really good because the competition (for the spot) only makes the playing field better," Brehaut said. "Because we’re out here competing and because nobody has a set spot, that makes us go hard every play, all day, every day."

Craft said, "Every day I come out and all I worry about is myself and what I need to do, my checks and my reads. The rest will take care of itself. I don’t decide who plays. The coaches decide who plays. All I can do is my best on the field and improve every day."

Yes, don't forget Nick Crissman and Ted Landers are on the team. However, observers such as Balderas who wrote the post above, are deducing that right now the battle is mostly between Brehaut and Craft based on the number of snaps these two are getting compared to Crissman and Landers.

My best case scenarios is we only have to use Craft in mop up duties this year allowing us to redshirt Brehaut. That will allow coaches to space out the QB depth chart even more giving us more potential at this position than anytime since the 80s. Let's see how it all plays out.

GO BRUINS.
