"He made throws, he completed passes, he did things in the pocket. Hank, deservedly, is the quarterback right now," he said.

“Right now we have three guys that we can roll into a game with and feel good about because they’ve all done things throughout fall camp that have been spectacular,” Harsin explained. “They’re competing in a good way and it’s been good to see.”

Keep that in mind when you look at the depth chart. Junior Robert Mahone is currently listed at the No. 1 running back with sophomore Andrew Van Buren listed as RB2 and true freshman George Holani listed as RB3.
