I read it as T does. But I don't think Hud was intentionally informing us. He just accidentally did. Naturally, he wants all three competing until he has to name the starter. You never know.
I also believe that without all of the top skill position people in the mix, the passer is way ahead of the runner. When our best skill players are on the field, the most important QB is the one that can distribute the ball with his arm and head.
I sure hope Hud goes back and realizes that he beat equals and lesser programs with a great running QB, with decent passing skills. He hasn't beaten equal to better teams. The mid major teams that did beat better teams, had great passing QBs. Teams that ate us apart had great passers (or we made them look great).
We need a great passing QB that can read defenses and can exploit them by getting the ball to his outstanding athletic team mates. If he can run... fandamntastic. But ball distribution short/middle/deep... is king to being better than an 8 win regular season with an undisputed conference championship.
