I don't see how it's anybody other than Van Dyke at this point. This would be what, his 25th start (if you don't count him rolling out and trying against FSU and Pitt last year.)

Has played in tough road environments, as well—while Williams has one game (with a dumbed-down playbook) and Brown can't even beat that true freshman out.

You start TVD, you have a semi-short leash and you to Williams if your starter way off—and you also have a few packages to get Brown some touches on key downs, or the red zone.

Coaches better have spent all week talking wit TVD and showing him film on opposing defenses just dropping into zone coverage and daring him to throw as his decision making in these moments has been an abortion.

It's not only decision making with TVD. HE made the right decision to throw to X on the sideline and it was still straight to a defender. He can't make the throws and he has no confidence that he can which is why he's constantly double pumping.

I’m talking packages ( pause ). He’s not starting.

I do not want to burn Emory's Redshirt for what would still likely be a loss to FSU. Travis Jordan is a sixth-year guy. Time matters at Quarterback. I would go with TVD with packages for Jacurri and the second if tvd does something bad pull him.

Wrong approach. This is what killed multiple games last year. If TVD took all the first team snaps in practice then you don’t throw Emory to the dawgs mid game. That’s malpractice at the highest level.

I believe Emory starts based on what’s been said in here and regardless if he’s good or bad (can’t really get worse than what TVD has been) you roll with the punches. Mix in some Jacurri here or there in short yardage etc.

Really starting to wonder if DVD still has a messed up shoulder. My son had the same injury last year and it took 9 months to heal. He plays LB fortunately, and if he was a QB I do not think he would be playing right now. If you look at most of DVD's INT's this year, they were underthrows. I just do not think he has the arm strength he needs to make these throws. I go back to the INT against NCState in EDZ. If you are going to miss on that throw, you miss high with an overthrow. He knows that. Once again he underthrew the ball by a good 5 yards. The pattern is shaping up to be a physical issue versus a mental issue. If this guy is not healthy enough to make the throws, he really needs to see the bench.

I think J. Travis has only thrown 2 INTs all year, he's very smart with the football. We know FSU is overrated, but IMO that's the reason why they are still undefeated. Their QB does not turn the ball over, so I don't think we can count on that. Special teams will need to play a big role.

He’s been lucky , he’s had a bunch of them hit db’s hands. They’ve had a lot of breaks too , fumbles rolling out of bounds, missed calls , a penalty taking away turnovers , star players of opponents keep getting hurt etc. I keep telling my Noles friends “ it’s almost like it’s meant to be this year“, I send that to then them when one of these breaks happen.

That leads to my next question- why have the football gods smiled upon FSU, but permanently cursed UM? I can think of only two explanations- the Curse of the Orange Bowl or the new Practice Bubble was built on ancient Indian burial grounds.
 
TVD should start in my opinion but be on a short leash. The only chance we have at beating FSU is if TVD plays and he plays at his best like he did against Texas AM which is unlikely but I think it's more likely that happens then us beating FSU with Emory or Jaccuri at QB. I believe Emory or Jaccuri even at their best will not be good enough to beat FSU.

I agree , even though TVD is dealing with many issues he is still the most experienced QB we got.
If TVD comes out like you said with that TAM game face focus our whole team will kick it up to new levels of in your face football.

Plus the D will be off the chains outrageous.

The first (2) series will tell us all we need to know, we cannot be down by 14 in first quarter , down 7-3 I take it knowing we’re a home run away from leading 10-7 in first half.

TVD holds victory in his hands .

If it’s close in 4th quarter we’ll it’s BAIN TIME.

Again our first (2) series is EVERYTHING
