Chance Nolan is embracing the QB competition at Oregon State as the scheme continues to click for him, says crissy_froyd. FrontOffice33 | GoBeavs
Oregon State has yet to name its starting quarterback for the 2022 season, but Chance Nolan, who started last year for the Beavers, is the favorite to win out in the competition as he looks to improve upon last year’s performance.
Nolan finished last season with a completion rate of 64.2% with 2,677 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also carried the ball 70 times for 286 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. He says he hopes to more than double that rushing total this year and showcase athleticism more after previously finding success rushing the ball at the JUCO level when he was at Saddleback College.
The Beavers ultimately lost that one, 38-29, but it should be counted as a win for Nolan alone with what he showed in that game. It’s not the first time he’s found success against the Ducks, either. “I think I bring a very even-keel mindset out there,” Nolan said. “I think people can gravitate toward that, and I think my overall understanding of the game of football is solid. Coach Lindgren in this system, he’s really developed me – one of the biggest areas I’ve grown in is a deep understanding with coverages, which is something I struggled with some in JUCO. Understanding defensive schemes, what different types of coaching staffs are going to try to do to you.
He’s got a long personal list of things he wants to improve on heading into his third year at Oregon State and has been putting in the work to achieve his goals this offseason to take a big next step in 2022. The biggest thing to him is remaining the same quarterback on every play and staying in a constant rhythm.
