Not exactly, Van Dyke was a starter or played in about half the games Smokers sophmore year, until he got hurt vs. the Gophers. VD won the game vs ND. He was also the starter vs. Marshall Smoker's freshman year. Throw in the games that Dowdell started, and Smoker probably had a year's worth of starts.
Further, the point was about QB experience in a new system. Neither had game experience with the new system, though Smoker had more game experience.
