Wolford Named Starting QB Vs. ULM

[Deacfreak07]

Naming Wolford as the starting quarterback at the start of his freshman season sends a pretty strong message to recruits that they will play immediately if they are good enough. This decision can also be used to counter arguments by our recruiting rivals that we red-shirt everybody. Not anymore, we don't, not even at the quarterback position.

I mean we did just start a true freshman at QB 4 years ago.

Price? well he was just an exception to the rule about Wake

So why wouldn't recruits consider Wolford as another exception?

once you can be credible by arguing exception, the second time less so, and so on

Tanner didn't start the Presbyterian game he came off the bench, so technically you are incorrect.

He was still a true freshman starter. Just a month later.

Don't be dense. I never said the first game.

No, Lobo tweeted that he was ushering in the new non-redshirt era last year, remember? :squint: #desperation
