During MSU’s final full-scale scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday, Prukop finished with 92 yards and a touchdown on 8 of 9 passing. He also rushed for nearly 50 yards.

“First off, it was as hard a thing I’ve ever done in my career,” Bobcats offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey said of the QB decision. “Having to look guys in the eye that have busted their tail for us for a long time and tell them that they put forth a great effort but that the other guy put forth a better effort.

“Every decision that I make and (Ash) make together is what we feel gets this team closer to wins and closer to championships. This wasn’t a pick as to who the best quarterback in the room is, it was a pick for who the best quarterback for this offense at this time is.

“I feel 100-percent confident in the choice coach and I made.”

Bleskin, a Great Falls CMR product, completed 8 of 10 passes for 72 yards and a touchdown during Saturday’s scrimmage. He made six appearances last season, including two starts when McGhee injured his shoulder early in the year. Bleskin threw for 733 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions.

McQueary, a redshirt from Manhattan, was a perfect 13-for-13 passing with 172 yards and two TDs on Saturday. This is his first year of eligibility.
