Ben Olson Named Starter

From Dohn's blog, it's official.

Now we can move on and let Big Ben get the necessary reps with the first team.

Utes beware.  We're gonna be ready and hungry.

edit: BRO also has the story.

Other Programs
I've noticed in the last couple of days that several programs across the Country that have been having QB battles for starting positions have waited until this time to name a starter. I don't think KD was out of scope in his time frame, 2 weeks will get your starting QB a lot of practice reps.

As I've said before, this is the year KD needs to prove it to me (apologies to Dohn's 6 years)that he should be our Coach for the future.

Just my observation.

GO BRUINS!!!

I agree
Not a big KD fan. But this timing was just fine with me. I would have been worried if he hadn't named a starter by Tuesday of this week. This works for me.

KD is just playing mind games
You guys are making a big fuss over nothing. For all I care, the announcement of Olson as starting quarterback for UCLA could come right before the start of the game on September 2. As long as Olson is getting the snaps and practice that he needs, that is all that matters right now. Did any of you really think that Cowan was going to be our starting quarterback? Come on now. KD is just playing mind games, which is a first I think. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

It's not a big fuss over nothing.
You said it yourself, everyone knew Olson was going to be the starter, ye he was still doing reps with the second team.  He needs to be as familiar with the 1st team as possible and doing reps with the second team could only lead to confusion. I can tell you, this process takes more than only 12 days.
