Tyler Hansen plans to redshirt this season, giving him two seasons to potentially start after Cody Hawkins uses up his eligibility as the Buffs starting quarterback. That Hansen is redshirting shows how much of a gap there is between him and Hawkins to start.
As uninspiring as Hawkins has been as a playmaker, not all of it his fault, he still has a stranglehold on the starter's job, which is not good for the offense, the team nor quarterback recruiting. Hansen has mobility and a decent arm but he's obviously a minimal threat to Hawkins.
While I doubt Hansen makes it through the year redshirting him doing so might be beneficial to him and the team if he actually develops his talent.
Freshman Clark Evans, big and raw, also plans to redshirt.
Both quarterbacks might be playing for a new head coach unless the man on top of the depth chart wills this team to a winning season in 2009.
