ECU opens up quarterback spot

After East Carolina University’s tough 49-6 loss at the University of Temple on Saturday, one in which almost nothing went right, head coach Scottie Montgomery said he will be reevaluating the quarterback position this week in practice.

“It will be open competition. It’s not about us not naming a starter, we need to see who can play the best in the game plan that we created for all of them and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” Montgomery said.

Quarterback Reid Herring started against Temple and had his worst performance of the season, throwing 17-for-31 for 112 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
