Duke coach David Cutcliffe broke down the three-way quarterback battle between last year's backup Chris Katrenick, Gunnar Holmberg, back from an injury, and Clemson transfer Chase Brice.
Transcript
00:00 Yeah, there's no question that Chris Katrynek, because he's a veteran,
00:04 to be honest with you, I was blown away by Chris in that regard as to
00:10 where he was and understanding defensive football.
00:14 He had not wasted his time during this pandemic stay home time.
00:20 He had really become a student of the game, understood it.
00:23 It was good to have he and Gunnar who had been involved, but
00:28 it was awesome that Chase was committed to it, Luca Diamant.
00:32 Our walk on quarterbacks have been phenomenal.
00:37 And so we've used that as a real teaching tool.
00:40 I can't tell you how many meetings I had with them that they're focused.
00:45 Our meetings in Zoom, they're sitting straight up, feet flat on the floor,
00:49 taking notes.
00:50 We ship them notebooks.
00:52 So I've been very pleased with the mechanics of it.
00:55 We're doing some things differently and new, as you might imagine.
00:59 So there is some relearning for all of the guys that have been here,
01:03 getting a little bit more used to me.
01:05 But yeah, I'm excited.
01:07 But what I told them, I said, now it comes to getting it done on the field.
01:12 And if you wanna be the all-time quarterback on the playground at school,
01:16 guess what you better do?
01:17 Better throw it better than everybody else.
01:19 Otherwise, you don't get to be the all-time quarterback.
01:21 Y'all been through that before, right?
01:24 It's fun. I'd much rather be quarterback than running around some quarterback can't throw it.
