This is the part I'm talking about it's near the bottom:


TaQuon Marshall, the third-string quarterback may play at A-back, which is where he started his career.

 

[Boomergump]

We can use him. He was a good player for us at that position.

 

[Captain killem]

I just wish he could play cornerback. Lol

 

[jeffgt14]

Good. I like him and I don't see him having a future at QB.

I agree but I guess I was thinking next year what this could mean at QB is someone looking very good at practice ?

 

[Jacketman1]

is he redshirting this year? Hasnt played since the third game, and i would hate to burn his shirt on garbage time

 

[forensicbuzz]

If he played in a game his red-shirt is gone, unless he was injured. If he was hurt, then he has to play less than 20% of the games to be able to red-shirt.

Not related to the topic at hand, but a sidebar on that link indicated that the UVA game will have a 12:30 kickoff. Not surprised, but definitely not happy. It will the 8th of 11 games at the early hour. Is Tech the only team to have that fate? If so, why? How about spreading it around. We are not the worst team in the conference, so there are others that should get their share of early starts too.

His shirt has already been burned and I'm not sure why. He would've seemed like a great candidate for a redshirt year.

Agree, but I wonder if our best CB's are actually being played? Simmons, and walker have looked better than a player who I won't name imo.

Taquan took snaps at QB this season. Redshirt is out the door for him this year.

His permanent position was never going to be QB outside a rash of injuries or transfers. I think he was more a bridge for the freshmen QBs getting redshirted. Wish we would have given him a "soft redshirt" or played him more at AB.

Hopefully he gets more AB snaps to close the season.

I suspect it might have something to do with JJ injury and having a full rotation at A back

 

[TampaGT]

I think LG leaving plays a part in this change.

 

[Jacketman1]

That really sucks. I feel like taquon is a player who can be very dangerous in space, and sitting him isn't giving him that opportunity.

plus , having him at running back means PJs famous Aback pass can be fully implemented--oh, sorry, that was my crazy idea

I'm not sure what to make of it. I guess the positive look would be that he is an athletic guy we need on the field. What I really hope it doesn't mean is he is such a washout at QB that we might as well play him at A. It bothers me to no end that we have a ton of talent returning on the offense next year but no quarterback even remotely ready to start.

MJ is "ready to start," but I'm not convinced that he is the man for the job.

Don't forget Lucas Johnson . Could be two QB's playing , not sure it CPJ would do it.

 

[InsideLB]

Looks like with loss of 2 A backs green and griffin we need to call on Marshall to play AB.
