Coffee Posted by ESPN.com's Graham WatsonThe decision of who will start at quarterback for Utah State justgot a little more difficult. Junior Jase McCormick, who played infour games last season and was expected to challenge for thestarting position during fall camp, told coach Brent Guy that he might walk away from football, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Saturday evening.McCormick completed 62.5 percent of his passes, but threw fiveinterceptions as opposed to two touchdowns. Senior Sean Setzer, theonly other quarterback with experience, becomes the frontrunner forthe starting position. He played in one game last season andcompleted one pass for two yards.The article also notes the emergence of true freshman ExavierJohnson, who looked strong in the Aggies first practice.My take: This isn't great news for coach Brent Guy, who needs toshow improvement on his 6-29 record during the last three seasons.The good news is that this Guy's first team full of his guys. Ithas 17 seniors, which should help with leadership and finally hasits full array of scholarship athletes.Several non-BCS teams have started or will start practice thisweekend and Monday. As I've noted a couple times this past week, Iwill be at Utah for its opening practice. I will be chatting livefrom camp at 11:30 EST (9:30 MST) for a half hour.
