NC State quote of the day

This quote is from Doeren, discussing the Wolfpack’s quarterback competition.

“I think in the spring, we started it as a competition and as it went, you could see [Brennan Armstrong’s] experience was just there. [MJ Morris’] talent and his improvement, it’s awesome. But you got a 23-year old a 19-year old and you really want MJ have what he should have, the year to develop behind him.

“As we know, that’s not a promise because I can’t predict what’s going to happen. But that’s what you’d love to see happen. … But I’m super excited about MJ and super excited about Brennan, and I think both of them are great guys and great leaders. They do a lot for our football team.

“So, we’ll see where it goes. But that’s where we’re at today.”
