InsideTexas did an article on Big 12 QBs today
Not overly negative on Kendall. Pretty much saying he is a serviceable stop gap.

West Virginia – Austin Kendall
4 games: 12/17, 122 yards, 1 TD, 7 cars, 21 yards
Backups: Jack Allison, Trey Lowe, Jarret Doege
Austin Kendall’s 2018 was nondescript. He grabbed some garbage-time snaps in the opener versus FAU, started against Baylor and stayed in for one series while Kyler Murray was serving a suspension, completed the pass on the final play of the Red River Shootout that Oklahoma lost to Texas, and went 3/4 against a Kansas State team that OU easily handled.
After Jalen Hurts chose Oklahoma, Kendall knew he would need to go somewhere else to find playing time. He found it in West Virginia, a program starting over with first-year head coach Neal Brown.
Brown has raid tendencies – he played for Hal Mumme and Mike Leach at Kentucky – but isn’t a Raid Bro in the truest sense of the world. His Troy teams, teams that went 10-3, 11-2, and 10-3 in the last three seasons, could be designated as one of the more physical teams that ran a version of the Raid.
Though there will be differences between Brown’s offense and former WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense, there will be a lot of overlap as well. Both ran the ball a lot for a “pass happy offense,” and that should be no different in 2018.
Kendall should be a good two-year solution before Brown finds someone he can develop in his program (Alternatively, West Virginia could remain a favorite destination for transfers).
Jack Allison, who saw time when Will Grier was out last year, is the primary backup. Behind Allison is redshirt freshman Trey Lowe and Bowling Green transfer Jarrett Doege.
