Almost certainly Harris. I guess Homlberg is the dark horse but I'd guess he plays backup one more year.
Who is in the pipeline to start at QB next year?

It will be interesting to see if Duke pursues any of the grad-student-transfer options.
Cut's history at Duke suggests not. But Cut has never had to replace a QB of Jones' stature, not at Duke.
Crossed my mind too. Who is on your radar as far as grad transfer QBs?
Also, I'd also like to see what QH can do with a steady gig. He does a few things really well....things you can't coach like speed and long ball...while his erratic throws on short and medium throws seems coachable. I've no idea what kind of decision maker he is.
Harris impressed me with his play against Baylor once he actually practiced with the starters. Cut's MO is usually to put the QB heir apparent into a limited play package rather than having 2 seniors. You could make a persuasive argument for free agent seniors in several other positions before QB.
I am comfortable with Harris, he showed poise and great leadership. He has stepped in to difficult circumstances and performed admirably,
If someone can beat him out, well — go for it. But I doubt we will see a first-time starter against Alabama.
My money is on Harris with someone in the Connette package.
Go out there and play this spring and see who's the best quarterback on the team. The contenders:
Code:NO Name POS HT WT Class Hometown 18 Quentin Harris QB 6' 1" 195 lbs JR Wilton, CT 12 Gunnar Holmberg QB 6' 3" 190 lbs FR Wake Forest, NC 15 Chris Katrenick QB 6' 3" 215 lbs FR Algonquin, IL
Sage Grouse

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Bryant or Hurts , please lure of these guys. I think Cut could help those guys become ready for the next level.
Hurts to open up against Bama next year. Lol!!!
