First impressions of true freshman QB Alex Delton?
Morgan Burns: Man, maturity. He's getting a lot of reps, too. It's very rare for a freshman to come in and get reps with the ones and twos, and knows the offense really well and leads the offense. He's done a great job. He's out there running plays, doing checks and making plays happen, too. It's cool to see him mature and develop and want to also throw his name in the bowl and compete. I'm extremely impressed by him.
Who's a young player on this team nobody is talking about who could have a big year?
Burns: Sam Sizelove. He's a young linebacker. He's getting a lot of time with the ones and twos. He can run really well. Sam, he'll just throw his head in someone's chest and run right through you. As a young guy, that's huge. He has a big frame. I think he can bring a lot to the team this year, and down the road, he can be a great player. I'm excited about Sam.
Your thoughts on the quarterback competition so far?
Burns: Jesse [Ertz] and Joe [Hubener], they've come a long way as far as their leadership. It can be hard playing behind a great guy like Jake [Waters], and then all of a sudden you're competing for a spot. I think they've taken on the challenge well, they're both very competitive. They have different strengths. Jesse is probably more so a runner. Joe throws the ball first, and is more of a bigger guy. It's cool to watch them battle, because it's such an important position on the team. I have confidence in both of them. I'm excited to see who steps up for the first game.
