Mike Locksley gives update on QB situation, wants to have one be ‘the guy’
Published:
When you have two quarterbacks, you actually have none. That’s a phrase that’s used a lot in football. That being said, Urban Meyer at Florida won a national championship using two quarterbacks.
Even at Ohio State, when the Buckeyes won the first College Football Playoff, it was with their third-string QB. There’s something to be said for having multiple guys that can play at the most important position.

For Maryland, they have a decision to make. Injuries have played a part in their QB situation, but on Tuesday, coach Mike Locksley gave updates on Tyrrell Pigrome and Josh Jackson:
Tyrrell Pigrome and Josh Jackson are at full strength, have taken part in every practice since Ohio State game. Locksley said he'd love to have a QB who is *the guy* "but right now it's going to take both … to give us the best chance to win so we'll play both."

Locksley said every week the staff has had packages for freshman QB Lance LeGendre. That'll be the case this week vs. Nebraska, too. Reminder that LeGendre can play in both of these last two games and still redshirt.

Apparently both Pigrome and Jackson are healthy. Locksley wants one to be “the guy.” But, that’s not the case right now. He believes using both gives Maryland the best chance at winning. And, he even has QB Lance LeGendre who has some packages with the offense as well.
The Terrapins have a number of QBs it can use. We’ll see how it all plays out this Saturday when Maryland hosts Nebraska.
