AJC reports Yates expected to start.

Jordan Yates expected to start at quarterback for Georgia Tech

Following his effective performance off the bench in the season opener against Northern Illinois, Georgia Tech quarterback Jordan Yates is expected to make his first career start Saturday against Kennesaw State, according to three people familiar with the situation. Two acknowledged the...

The reason he's starting may or may not be because Sims is injured, but he's earned it nonetheless.

**** happens. Maybe the RB squeezed a little too hard. How many QB's fumbled last week?

I don't understand our fans. Seriously.

Seriously, it was an unforced error. Does that make me some sore of "covid fan"?

Maybe the running back squeezed too hard, maybe Sims made a bad read, maybe he sneezed, maybe...

It was a turnover.

As long as sims gets some reps during the game then it doesn’t matter to me. I imagine sims starts against Clemson but you just can’t throw him in the fire against Clemson, get him some reps vs KSU to get him back in the feel of things.

Sounds like Sims isn’t 100%.

I prefer Yates to start and hope he does well. If he does not, we need a healthy Sims to take over. The alternative(s) is not good.

Not a single call for Yates to start preseason.

Sims goes 3 for 8.

Yates must start game 2.

Does mine from 3 YEARS AGO count?

I've always felt he should get more time on the field. He plays with enthusiasm that seems to inspire others. I've liked him since I saw him take Milton to the state championship win.

Whomever starts against Clemson doesn't matter. Both QBs need to share the pain.

Sims needs to play this week if he's going to play against Clemson. I don't think it'd be good for him to step back in after a poor performance against NIU and have his first snaps be in Death Valley

Is the outcome going to matter either way?

Unforced error on who? QB? RB? Did you ever play option football? A fumble like that isn’t necessarily on the QB. Unless you know what happened in the mesh (which you don’t), stop throwing stones.

Yes, I was an option QB in high school.

I have experience with the mesh. According to my coaches, if the ball hit the ground it was my fault no matter what. Maybe I am too sensitive about it even many years later.

Please understand my point, the turnover was not forced by the defense. Therefore unforced.

I get that and agree. As an option running back, sometimes I was just as guilty of causing the fumble as the QB. That was my point. Let's stop ragging on our players and cheer for our team, even when they screw up. There's way too much bitching and not enough cheering.

You know the old adage, "if you don't have something good to say..."

It was a low nap from the center that initiated it. Maybe in a year or so Sims has enough game experience to keep and run vs trying to force the play from a bad starting point. I think the center is most responsible for that fumble.
