That was a good story, the rest of you will agree when you can read it.

[Papa_Bull]

This is one story I'm dying to read.

Maybe Matt should take off his redshirt.

[Papa_Bull]

Maybe we don't need a QB.

The Center can snap the ball to Andre Hall and he can just run with it. LOL

TAMPA - After a three-hour, 119-play scrimmage in the 91 degree Saturday morning heat, this much is certain: There is no apparent starting quarterback for the Sept. 3 opener at Penn State.

Junior Pat Julmiste, sophomore Courtney Denson and freshman Carlton Hill got numerous reps, including goal-line work from 6 and 3 yards.

"All the different guys did good things," coach Jim Leavitt said. "But it's still the same three guys."

Offensive coordinator Rod Smith said, "This is what you want to see in live situations, and they just didn't perform very well. I'm not happy with all three of them. Carlton wasn't bad, though it was his first time. He did what he was supposed to do, but we didn't have much help for him."

Senior running back Andre Hall and junior linebacker Stephen Nicholas sat out to avoid injuries. With freshman running back Ricky Ponton out with a sore shoulder, freshmen Chad Simpson, Moise Plancher and Benjamin Williams shared rushing duties.

"Chad Simpson ran the ball hard, has been for two days, and Amarri Jackson did some good things at receiver," Leavitt said of the sophomore from Sarasota. "But until you see every play on film, it's hard to single guys out."

NOT a good sign!

I guess we shouldn't expect too much improvement at QB for some time.

This doesnt mean anything.  The coaching staff never tells the media anything.  Their comments are always noncommital.
