Marshall to start versus UNC...

[Gold1]

If he starts Taquon that would be the worst thing he's done here other than killing our attendance

I have a problem with this quote -- “My way of doing things, it’s not fair to the guy who practices all the time not to let him play,” Johnson said after the game.
I'm not saying it's wrong to start TM over Oliver, but is it fair to the guy who single-handedly beat a team and probably would have won at least 2 others for us?

That quote explained starting TO over TM, who only practiced one day before vpi.

The offense runs quicker with TO. Our offense seems to respond a little more positively when he comes in. What can’t be overlooked is having Cooper, Braun, and Hansen established as our interior. When you’ve got good blocking, all the backs look good. That being said, there’s just something about TO. He’s a gamer. I think it’s been a tougher year injury wise for Marshall than we realize. I think that toe injury in the S. Florida game set him back quite a bit.

I don't care who starts. I want to see both play, then the most effective one keeps on playing.

If the run is working well, TO probably. If we have to run the flexbone or pass to open things up. Then TM.

 

[gtg845w]

If we start TM and he doesn't score in the first 2 drives plus UNC is up 14-0 then TO is not coming in bc now we need to pass to catch up. Starting TM over TO after his performance last week would be insulting to TO. No way TM does what TO did, no way. This would be a death march for PJ unless TM goes crazy.

 

[Sean311]

Just read the article and to me personally it doesn’t sound like TM is starting. I think he will stick with TO and TM will come come in for mop up duty.

 

[MWBATL]

I am less certain that the QB difference was the real reason for our offensive explosion against VPI&SU. Personally, I think football games are won and lost along the line of scrimmage, and our O line dominated their D line. I think maybe I could have played QB and won in Blacksburg. OK, that's an exaggeration, but you get my point.

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

I just want to win.

 

[Longestday]

I will say that a healthy TO made all the difference in the VT game... along with the rest of the O clicking.

Play both. Alternate series then go with the hot hand. Could be an option. Each does things well in different facets of our option game. It would be keeping a D on its heels for sure

No way TM does what TO did? Issue with this is TM has done what TO did.

Personally I don't care who starts I wanna see both. Let TQM if healthy come in and run the triples, counters, and speed options. Then let TO come in and run his sets. There is no way a team can be perfectly prepped for both. Find which one works the best and ride the hot horse down their throats. TQM has looked good this year when he's been healthy Duke and Pitt has was limping on the sideline.

He said they're both going to play. Sounds good to me.

 

[stech81]

I have not watched UNC play this year but I do think we need TO to play against UVa in order to beat them they play the 3O too good.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

So if TQM starts and doesn't play another series after 4 downs .......

 

[bobongo]

I understand TQM starting, I really do. He was the starter before he got hurt, and apparently he can run way more of the offense, and execute it better in practice.

THAT SAID...I would think his leash is going to be about this long. If he doesn't move the ball in 2 possessions, I think it'll be oliver

I think that's right, but I think TQM moves the ball crisply against UNC. I think Oliver gets significant playing time in any case. QB's take a beating in this offense, and we need two of them.

Man, some of y’all acting like Oliver is this sure thing stud. Nothing against him, he played well, but it was 1 game. We didn’t see him pass really, and we only saw a handful of plays.

If we have to pass, we’re in trouble with either one of them.

That was apparently obvious to everyone but Johnson

Let’s wait and see what he can do for a stretch of time. For the record I think he can be very good and continue what he did Saturday, but it’s yet to be seen. Also remember TM has had just as good of games.

This +100
This remindes me so much of the morons who demanded Vlad start over Tevon.....and then booed Tevon when he took the field.

T. Marshall is starting because we are running a pass play on the first play of the game. Then CPJ will put in T. Oliver for the rest of the game.
