Rich Rodriguez is secure in his three-quarterback rotation for the season opener Sept. 5.
In fact, he said today he wouldn't have a problem staying with it all season.
"I really hope all three keep progressing," he said of Tate Forcier, Denard Robinson and Nick Sheridan.. "If one of them starts to (regress), whether it's in a game or practice, then you can adjust accordingly. But if all three are playing well and continue to grow in the offense, which I would expect -- not just the two freshmen -- let's keep going."
All season?
"Sure," Rodriguez said. "People say you have to settle on one. I don't know. If all three of them are playing well, you don't have to."
He said before today's practice that "all three" are atop the depth chart together. Rodriguez and QBs coach
Rod Smith have developed a practice plan to get them equal snaps.
