...Restic's favorite word, "flexibility," calls for playing time for both quarterbacks. Each has different talents to offer--Stoeckel is a smart play caller and a good play-action short passer, while Crone is a drop back passer with a rifle arm well suited to the long bomb. Milt Holt, who threw seven touchdown passes while sharing the quarterback duties on last year's freshman team, has also drawn Restic's praise during preseason practice.
