You might have heard that Chad Kelly is out for the year with a torn ACL. You might have also heard that during a Monday press conference, Hugh Freeze remained noncommittal about who would replace his star quarterback. Freeze insisted that redshirt freshman Jason Pellerin would get the majority of snaps this week, but refused to rule out the possibility of tearing the redshirt off of five-star true freshman Shea Patterson.
"I would rule nothing out today," Freeze said, adding playing Patterson "would be difficult." Pellerin will get "most" first-team reps.

Freeze said he wants to set Patterson up for success, reiterates that he's going to see if others could play QB before going with Patterson.

We think the answer is simple: start Shea Patterson. Any hope of salvaging the season and generating some momentum heading into 2017 depends on it.
