For the first time since Mark Richt benched N’Kosi Perry for Malik Rosier in the Miami Hurricanes’ loss to the Virginia Cavaliers last month, Miami’s quarterback controversy seems to be dead.
Richt wasted no time this week making the decision on his starter for the upcoming game against the Virginia Tech Hokies. On his weekly postgame teleconference Sunday, the coach announced Perry will remain the Hurricanes’ starter when they head up to Blacksburg, Va., on Saturday.
“N’Kosi will be the starter next week,” Richt said. “I thought N’Kosi played well in a lot of ways.”
Despite Miami’s 27-21 loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday, Richt felt encouraged about Perry’s play after the quarterback’s first start since the loss in Virginia.
