Junior quarterback Blake Kemp will remain the starter, although, after two consecutive losses that saw the offense struggle, the job isn’t firmly his. In both East Carolina (1-2, 0-1 American Athletic Conference) losses, Kemp threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. He also turned the ball over three times.
“You’ll see [Summers] play this week,” said McNeill. “I think there are strengths with both of [the quarterbacks]. I know I like to have one guy. I’ve always been that way, but there are things that James can add to our team and our offense. You’ll see a conscious effort to get him some time.
