Not sure if it will even make any difference as ECU still has time to adjust and other decent QB's. He was just selected starter in pre-season camp ........

Benkert, just got the starting nod last week. Looks like Blake Kemp will be the starter for ECU now, though things can change.

Blake Kemp (QB)

There's a remote possibility that we may be seeing a Freshman QB running the O for ECU...................

They may play it safe vs TU, run the ball a lot, limit QB roll-outs, scrambles, etc.,

From ECU's viewpoint, looking at our W/L record last year (games vs WVU, JMU, etc...), they're probably just looking past us, and hoping Towson will just be a warm-up for Florida.

Quote:"Other than freshmen, the 6-1, 207-pound Kemp, a left-hander, is probably the only truly healthy quarterback left on the roster."

Plenty of unknowns in this game, looks like Desir is out, interested in seeing what Reece Burnett can do in his absence.

Definitly a lot of unknowns.

While a win vs a FBS team may be too much to ask for, I'm hoping we play an inspired/competitive game and set the tone for the rest of the season.

Good luck! I promise you the Pirates are not looking past Towson. Coach Ruff won't allow it. I hope for a great game and no injuries! For those coming to the game,get ready for an awesome game day atmosphere.
