Laviano is Flood’s guy. During the “open competition” in camp, most regular observers agreed LSU transfer Rettig was the better prospect. Flood chose Laviano.

Before the season opener game, Laviano got suspended for a half for violating curfew and using a fake ID. After Rettig performed superbly, Flood went back to Laviano.

In a crushing week-two home loss to Washington State, Laviano put up numbers but made crucial late-game mistakes. Flood stayed with him.

Then Flood got slapped with a three-game suspension, but he was in Happy Valley in spirit. After Laviano finished the first half 12 of 20 for 92 yards and an interception, Wilson stayed with him. After he opened the second half with a drive-killing interception, Wilson stayed with him.

Did Flood make it clear to avoid a quarterback switch at all costs? Is Wilson not really empowered to use the biggest tool in a football coach’s toolbox? Did Rettig fire spitballs at Wilson too?
