WOOOOOOOO! Go get 'em Shon!

Almost surprised it wasn't Teddy, but congrats Shon!! Look forward to seeing his abilities truly come to fruition in game, and, consequently, watch this team grow and improve as the season progresses. Your team, Shon.

Cant say I'm surprised, hope he balls out this season!

We ran all over Bucknell last year and expect to do more of that week 1. I think Shon is mentally tough but no one wants to see him get a rough start and carry mistakes. Here's to hoping on hope...

Excited for Shon to have the opportunity and also excited for Ted who has really excelled. I think Shon has a good chance to do well if, 1) the O-Line can protect him, 2) we run it effectively and 3) he can get the ball a few times to Devonte. Remember Devonte has the ability to catch a lot of balls that are merely near his target. Plus, if Shon can find him open, it might go the distance. Confidence is just a vital part of success. I hope that the Tribe is willing to believe and take some chances this season. I plan to be cautiously optimistic this season. Looking forward to 9 days from now.

I like the quote that it wasn't that other QBs messed up, but that Shon's done well.

Congratulations to Shon! Here's hoping that the rest of the QB's keep up their hard work, it's a long season.

GO TRIBE!
