Question 2: Much has been made about the Kelly Bryant – Trevor Lawrence situation though it seems like Bryant may be solidifying his spot as the starter. Should tech fans expect to see both quarterbacks on Saturday (not counting any potential garbage time)?

AB: Tech fans will absolutely see both quarterbacks Saturday. Kelly Bryant, the senior leader, will get the start and probably the first three possessions of the game or so. You’ll see Trevor Lawrence, the talented freshman, rotate in most likely near the end of the first quarter or at the beginning of the second quarter. They’ll let him lead a couple of possessions before going back to Bryant.

The flow of the game and what the score looks like will dictate who plays the majority of the snaps. I expect that Bryant will be the QB if we get into a fourth quarter-type battle, but if Lawrence has the hot-hand, I think the coaching staff will give the freshman a shot. It really just depends on the circumstances and what the coaches see within the game.
