Tom Allen updates Hoosiers' QB battle following weekend scrimmage
The race for the starting quarterback spot at Indiana is not necessarily any clearer as of Monday.
Head coach Tom Allen met with reporters following practice to discuss a number of things. As to be expected, it didn’t take long for the quarterback battle to come up.
The Hoosiers entered camp with a three-way battle between returning starter Peyton Ramsey, Michael Penix Jr., and newcomer Jack Tuttle. Of the three, Allen has mentioned Ramsey having a slight advantage due to his being a returning starter, but Tuttle has shown off his arm at times in camp.

When discussing the battle after a weekend scrimmage, Allen admitted that the decision is not necessarily any clearer. The problem is that all three guys played well:
“It’s almost harder than ever because I think all three of them played pretty well,” said Allen. “It’s still open. We just have to keep on going and find a way to separate them a little bit. I don’t know that Saturday made it any easier or clarified anything at all.”
Allen did go on to admit that it is a good problem for the team to have:
“I want to have a lot of good options,” Allen explained.
It is good that all three are playing well, but hopefully, one guy does separate himself a little bit moving forward. Be sure to check out all of Allen’s comments, courtesy of Peegs.com.
