Quarterback position still unclear despite Kemp's play

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.
