Presley’s turn
Armanti Edwards looked pretty good out of the “Mountaineer” package running the offense for the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. It was a familiar and welcome sight for Appalachian State fans.
But for ASU, the Armanti Edwards era is over.
DeAndre Presley is the new quarterback for the Mountaineers, who will begin the 2010 season Saturday at Chattanooga.
Coach Russ Huesman of the Chattanooga Mocs says that his team hasn’t dwelled on the fact that ASU has a different quarterback, and that he is impressed with what little he has seen of Presley.
“I guarantee he’ll be somebody that will be electric in running, and just seeing him throw the football he’s got a good arm,” Huesman said. “They’re going to be good on offense, no question.
“They do such a good job with their quarterbacks, doing things that they are capable of doing. I think the thing that’s going to help him is that they’ve got so many experienced guys around him that have played a ton of football and that’s going to make his life easier and take a little pressure of him.”
