AJ Long

Have I missed it. I haven't seen a thread about our starting QB this Saturday. Everyone thought it was going to be AW. I guess the staff must think he is our best chance to win. A True Freshman. Yikes

Ville beat SU with a true frosh. Clemson's TF QB has been absurd. All it takes is ability.

Where did you see/hear this?

I havn't seen that it was AJ, sounds more like Wilson to me with a little AJ.

Haven't seen an announcement yet. They are talking about getting AJ playing time more so than the others but I'll bet that all 3 see action on Sat.

I doubt they will announce a starting QB until game time just like with Drew Allen. No point in announcing.

Debut as in hasn't seen the field this year. Yes, he will see the field. I think thats all it means.

I know he's going to play, but I don't see anything about him starting in that article. Unless my scanning of it missed some pertinent info.

That is exciting! AJ seems like quite the leader. where did you see this announced?

Also makes sense to have someone who can create with his feet in the event that we cant get open since our top 2 receivers are out.

I would bet Wilson comes out first, but who knows. Lester sounds like he really likes Wilson's arm. Might not matter much if we can't give him any time.

Read between the lines. It's obvious!

I think its aj too. Wilson didnt look good to me from what ive seen.

 

[Full_Rebar]

I think Wilson starts and gets at least a couple of series. When he does come in, Long will probably have a scripted series of plays. If the game gets out of reach, I'd expect that he and Kimble will get more action.

 

[jgeorge322]

I dont think you burn his red shirt 6 games in to get spot time

 

[FAL]

Keep the bastids guessing! Why announce a starter now?

It's all hands, need to go 4-2. If he can give you 20 plays, you take the 20 plays.

Duke went 10-2 last year playing two QB's.

Lester has said just enough to have everyone guessing including FSU.

They won't throw him to the wolves vs FSU. Pop his cherry Saturday and then we see what AJ has the rest of the season.

 

[Doctor44]

valid points all around. Why tip your hand? That said FSU is going to stack the box and make whoever is in there beat them with his arm.

I hope Long is something special, but we'll see. Golson, Winston and watson at clemson have had big years as freshmen. lets hope Long has some magic

I think weve all seen QBs ruined bc they were sacked or hit too much. Tough call bw seeing if e can play vs scaring him for life

Nah, they have been pretty clear that the rotation is going to situation specific and not based on a predetermined number of series. If anything, they have been too forthcoming with that information. There might be a hen in the fox house. I kind of suspect AJ might pull up and throw deep a time or 2.
