WEST VIRGINIA (2001-2007)
[table “” not found /]
— In his second season at West Virginia in 2002, Rich Rodriguez had the easiest quarterback decision to make, going with sophomore Rasheed Marshall over freshman Danny Embrick. Marshall was an understudy to incumbent senior quarterback Brad Lewis in Rodriguez’s first season with the Mountaineers in 2001. Marshall was Rodriguez’s starter for three years, leading West Virginia to a bowl each season.
— Rodriguez’s first highly-competitive quarterback controversy was in 2005, when he opted to utilize a two-quarterback system with the Mountaineers. Adam Bednarik, a sophomore, started the Mountaineers’ first seven games, but White was used often as West Virginia began that season 6-1 and ranked 18th in the country. White became the starter in the eighth game and was Rodriguez’s guy for the remainder of Rodriguez’s career there, a total of 30 starts from 2005 through 2007. White was 26-4 as the starting quarterback.
