No. 20 Utah's not tipping its hand about the starting QB against Oregon State

Published February 05, 2015

The big mystery for Thursday night's game between No. 20 Utah and Oregon State is who the Utes will start at quarterback.

The depth chart lists Travis Wilson "or" Kendal Thompson, and earlier this week coach Kyle Whittingham wasn't giving away his choice.

The 6-foot-7 Wilson has thrown for 788 yards and seven touchdowns this season, starting all five games for the Utes. But he lasted just three series into the Utah's 30-28 victory over UCLA before he was replaced by Thompson, a transfer from Oklahoma.

Thompson has thrown for 289 yards with two TDs this season, and he's also rushed for 144 yards.

Oregon State coach Mike Riley said his only option was to prepare for both of them. The Beavers were in a similar situation two seasons ago, when Sean Mannion and Cody Vaz had an ongoing competition for the starter's job.
