Series:
The Canes made a big switch this past week with true sophomore QB Emory Williams finishing the Ball State game, Reese Poffenbarger received the mop up duty vs UF & FAMU respectively.
In his first action since FSU last season, Emory was able to show his quick release and accurate passing. While most of his 11 completions were short throws, it is the ball placement that promoted yards after the catch opportunities.
His ability to diagnose coverages pre-snap was apparent on several throws, Allowing him to pick and choose when he would push the ball downfield which he did with success going 2/2 on passes over 20 yards. He utilized the Pre-Snap motion to identify the coverage and knew he was going to Lofton the entire time as he looked the Safety off.
As highlighted in the first two clips in the video above, I loved the way he responded after not seeing "x" break open on a corner route. He went to the sideline saw it and when he got the same play call vs Man coverage again, he did not hesitate to hit Ray Ray Joseph on the corner route.
Being able to apply corrections or adjust in your first game back in over a year is impressive, even more so for a true Sophomore. While the canes most certainly will entertain QB's in the transfer portal, It has to feel great to see the development of HS recruits at the position. #GoCanes
