I would be a bit hesitant or should I say careful with him if you start him against UF, as you don't want him to get hurt, either physically or mentally. I believe CJS will still give Fortin some time or may even start him against UF, whether it is right or wrong, hard to say. After the UF game, he should be safe to start McClain.

Yea that's a good point and I hope they are thinking like that.

Start this kid now, let him make mistakes. We are not going anywhere this year anyways. He showed great flashed and made a few rookie mistakes. No reason to go back to Fortin. Make this Timmy's team a

As someone pointed out before this is pointless.  The open door policy of today's NCAA allows him to leave any time he wants.  If he's the best option and your future stud, then you play him now and r

Yes I would go with Williams and drill a few plays into McClain's head and use him as a flash or wrinkle.

You play McClain from here on out.  If he gets broken, next man up.

Risky with a FR, but he seems to have the poise.  People are assuming he will learn from the picks though which is too early to know.

Timmy McClain could be the Quinton Flowers for Jeff Scott. He certainly needs some experience but the talent is there and as anyone who has been a diehard USF fan knows, we need a rpo/mobile qb to be successful. Just ask CWT who finally figured out that pound the rock with a pocket passer doesn't work here.

Also, other honest assessments:

D-line is improved, LBs about the same, DBs some improvements.

Offense - we won't know until we play an opponent that is at our level, NC State and UF are way above our talent level at this point.

Coaching - OC and DC are struggling and I am not sure they will last as CJS will either have to replace/blame them or it would be him admitting that he is the problem. CJL replaced plenty of coordinators over his tenure if they didn't succeed.

I think CJS will provide the right culture and appears to be putting the effort in to do it. He just needs time and a little luck with the recruiting, as all it takes are 3 or 4 great players to get the momentum going. For CWT, it was QF, MM, RA, DJ. Go Bulls!

Not sure how you say coaches are struggling when the plays are there.

D line looks better, guys running wide open, freshmen qb looks like a player. 

Sucks getting crushed by a 2nd rate ACC team that we should be competitive with, but all it takes in football is finding a QB and we might have one.

I was thinking physically broken but he does give us the best chance to win a few games.  FAMU, Tulsa, ECU, Temple, Tulane are all winnable even as bad as we looked last night.  Tulsa lost to an FCS team and ECU was non-competitive against App St.

As long as he does not get physically killed, let Timmy play the whole game.

LOL you guys are funny.  I will say he doesn't seem to get frazzled (so far).  If he has it upstairs, I think he will make it.

If Williams starts this game and doesn't lead us to a victory, then CJS should be fired immediately.   I'm not sitting through another year of starting random qb and hoping one sticks to the wall.  The only way Williams should see the field is if you start McClain and he gets hurt or you play Williams in garbage time to save McClain the beating.

Either you start Fortin again and bring McClain along slowly for another week or so or you ride with McClain and live with the ups and downs of a true freshman playing against P5 studs

If McClain doesn't work out, I hear CJS is hot on the trail of some recruits from Bishop Sycamore.
