Petersen not revealing starting QB

SEATTLE – Chris Petersen is adding secrecy to his anticipated return to Boise State.

The Washington coach has no intention of making a public announcement of his starting quarterback before the Huskies take the field Friday night to face the 23rd-ranked Broncos.

Petersen acknowledged Sunday the team knows who is going to start at quarterback, but he is keeping it internal for now.

“We have a really good plan. We’re excited about it. Because we figured it out the last day or two we just really don’t think it’s an advantage to us to tell you our strategy right now on that position,” he said.

Petersen and the Huskies are in such a position because of the inexperience at the position. Junior Jeff Lindquist, redshirt freshman K.J. Carta-Samuels and true freshman Jake Browning competed for the job during fall camp, and Lindquist is the only one of the three with experience, staring last year’s season opener against Hawaii.
