JMU has officially announced that Justin Thorpe will be the starting QB for Saturday's game against the University of Richmond. Drew Dudzik and Thorpe have been in a QB battle since the Spring for the starting position and neither one had made their way to the forefront until now. Some suspect that it may have something to do with Dudzik suffering a minor concussion in last Saturday's game against Hofstra, but Dudzik is still practicing and still plans to get some snaps against the Spiders.
Thorpe: 158.8 efficiency
Passing - 13-19 (68.4%); 189 yards. 1 TD and 1 INT
Rushing - 43 attempts; 225 yards (5.2 avg); 2 TD
Dudzik: 162.4 efficiency
Passing - 25-44 (56.8%); 404 yards, 5 TD and 2 INT
Rushing - 33 attempts; 155 yards (4.7 avg); 1 TD
It will be interesting watch the number of snaps that Drew still gets. If it's not too many, hopefully Thorpe will flourish with the increased experience and will get into a rhythm.
