Brett Hundley is a lock to start at quarterback, but there’s no clear-cut option behind him. On Thursday, redshirt freshman T.J. Millweard made his pitch for the spot, making a number of sharp throws during scrimmage situations. His most impressive moment was a long touchdown to Tyler Scott, uncorked from near midfield.

“We kind of saw that man one on one out there,” Millweard said. “We had the perfect play call. I just kind of did a play fake, got back, and let it rip.”
