Entering last year’s offseason, head coach Butch Davis and offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky knew it would be a challenge to replace two-year starting quarterback James Morgan.

Arguably the most concerning statistic — Panther QBs are averaging 4.6 yards per passing attempt — landing them second to last among FBS teams who have played more than one game.
For point of reference, Morgan’s yards per attempt in two seasons was 7.
