No.

I would rather have an experienced signal caller at backup then a true freshman. We tried that experiment last year kind of.

Barring injury to Ash or Case, there is no way a true freshman will be the backup QB this year. Overstreet may get quality reps as the change-of-pace guy but he's not beating out a junior for backup.

Connor Brewer or Jalen Overstreet could be the BEST QB on campus and not jump Case on the depth chart.

It's just not going to happen.

I'm starting to think the only reason why there is a "battle" for the starting position in the first place is just to keep Case engaged enough to where we don't even have to think about burning Brewer or Overstreet's redshirts.

Now, if Ash were to get injured early next season, then that could get interesting...

Let's just hope that doesn't happen.

I've been reading good reports about Case in the 7 on 7 workouts. I'm hoping Brewer redshirts and Overstreet gets some Wildhorn snaps.

Could they beat him out? Yes.

Will they? Barring injury, I highly, highly doubt it, like in the 95%+ range.

The one caveat is the use of the zone read. If Overstreet proves to be reliable with the ball, he could get more snaps than the normal backup would.

That's my take.

This in spades. Case is backup come hell or high water even if Dan Marino, Jr was on campus as a freshman and was flawless in practice.

I just don't think Case has better physical tools than Brewer or Overstreet. I think Overstreet as a Wild QB will play and can be effective and I wouldn't be surprised if the staff maybe sees something they can cultivate in Brewer as opposed to Case who kind of is what he is -- a pretty average college quarterback.
