The coach was adamant that each of the four quarterbacks who played Saturday has improved this spring. Another quarterback had a good spring, too. Barker went through the individual drills, but was held out of the scrimmages as a precaution.

“He’s had a great spring. He got all the seven-on-seven work. We did some seven-on-seven today to get him some work (before the scrimmage began),” Lindsey said. “Kaleb’s done a nice job. He’s learned ou r system.

“He’s proven that he’s capable of winning football games here, as well as Sawyer. I think we’ve got a great thing going here. We’ve got two quarterbacks that have played and won games here and another guy that’s coming along pretty good. I’m excited about that (quarterbacks) room, in general.”

Lindsey said it’s not about who can throw the football the best.

“They can all throw it or they wouldn’t be here,” he said. “It’s about running the offense, communicating, making the other 10 guys better, being that leader. Some guys just have that natural leadership ability. We’ve got a couple guys, I think, that have that right now.”
