Mark my words, I just have a feeling, Frazier will be the starting QB by the end of the season.

Don't count on that. I think Frazier will play. A Kodi Burns type Wildcat role. Malzahn works very well with QBs, and unless Frazier comes in and is just THAT much better, Trotter will get the nod based on the little game experience, and experience with the speed of the game, even if it be at the practice level mostly.

Could Frazier take the job over late? Yes. Start game one? I'd be shocked if Trotter was THAT bad, or Frazier that good as a Fr. with a month in the system. And yes, I know he ran this, or very similar in HS, but there's still a learning curve, and he'll have to battle Trotter and Mosely to get the time he needs to take the job. That's the hard part...even getting the shot to take the job to begin with.
