Lindquist will start until he struggles. The second he does though, he's getting yanked for Miles. Lindy has a lot of pressure on him becaus. What way is Miles consihe will most likely have a quick hook. I kind of fear that Lindy does well the first few games only to show he can't hack it by the time conference games start.
That's getting way ahead of things. Petersen might be planning to start Miles vs. EWU regardless of how Lindy does.
That was the center of my post Derek. Peter can't start Miles over Lindquist vs Eastern IF Lindy playes well @ Hawaii.
Eastern is the WRONG team to get your backup (Miles) reps. They are better than Cal and Colorada. My whole point was if Lindy plays a full game @ Hawaii, and plays well, he will have the same starting experience as Miles (Albeit Miles faced better competition last year), so in what way is Miles the returning 'starter' to this team, and for game 2 ?
If Lindquist plays lights out vs Hawaii he is your STARTER vs. EASTERN and Miles doesn't see the field (unless it's a blow out or Lindy struggles mightily).
Then you CANNOT pull Lindy vs the fighting Illini, even if they are struggling. They still have more talent than all of UW'S non-conference foes.
Now if UW is 3-0 going into Georgia St, Petersen will be planning on starting Lindquist the rest of the way. If a blowout vs. GS is happening, you'll see Miles getting backup reps in the second half (although GS is a difficult team to prepare for).
Georgia State beat Florida (of the mighty SEC) last year Derek in case you forgot.
Thus there is no perfect scenario to enter Miles during the OOC portion of UW's schedule Derek. Which is why I say Lindquist, if he plays well, is your full time starter going into pac12 play. Miles missing spring and the first game might have cost him the starting job.
