ABC11 was on the scene after practice Wednesday and spoke to Fedora.

"I've seen improvement in all three of the guys that's really at the top right now," Fedora told reporters.

Anyone stand out?

"Whether there's been a single guy that's gotten separation that we want, no not at this point," Fedora continued.

The three quarterbacks, Brandon Harris, Nathan Elliot, and Chaz Surratt, are competing for the starting job.

Fedora said he will see after practice Thursday.

If he's still undecided, Fedora will check in pregame to see who's spinning it in warmups or look in their eyes.

Either way, one of these guys will trot out into the huddle and call the first play sometime past noon Saturday.

Ready or not, the 2017 season is here.
