Drew Pyne was a sophomore last year, having had a year of practice as a freshman, and having a few game time minutes. He also had two spring seasons worth of practice.

If he were anywhere nearly ready to take the reins, he would definitely have earned more playing time, especially at the beginning of the last year when the offensive line was in shambles and Coan was getting beaten up.

That's all in the past now. He has a chance to prove himself under Freeman, and now having had three spring seasons and two fall camps under his belt, will give us a better idea of where he is.
