Surprising if true. I thought Pyron looked the better of all three.

 

[gt9589]

Wow. I suspect Pyron will play at some point in the game.

Georgia Tech will roll with its highly coveted transfer to start the season.
Haynes King was named the team’s starting quarterback, coach Brent Key announced Tuesday. King had been in competition, mainly, with freshman Zach Pyron this month in preseason camp.

King transferred to Tech in January after being the starting quarterback at different times during his tenure at Texas A&M. He played six games for the Aggies in 2022, went 104-for-187 passing for 1,220 yards and seven touchdowns. He also was picked off six times.

In a near-upset of Alabama last season, King threw for 253 yards and two scores. In a season-opening win over Sam Houston State, the 6-foot-3, 205-pounder threw for 364 yards and three scores.
King and the Yellow Jackets open the season at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 1 against Louisville at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

I figure it'll start at some point, trying to triangulate on just when that might be.

First incomplete pass

As long as the decision is based off performance or some other metric defined by what the player puts on the field, I’m fine with it. If it was based on recruiting promises, I’m not.

Has to be a close contest, but he has the overall game experience. Whoever on here said he was the starter, you called it.

That said, I'd be more comfortable with Puron coming in at backup than I have been with a backup coming in in years.

I would tell you I called it but I didn't, Have to guess after they watch the film from Saturday thet saw something they liked.

 

[JJacket]

Don't forget, Puron is still young. He is essentially our future

I understand the decision. Giving the ball to the veteran. Pyron still has years to play and is our future

This is brent key not The ring brothers

 

[wesgt123]

Strange imo considering Key was adamant on not naming a starter before Louisville. I am excited to see how he does though.

Then again, what if this is just a ploy to throw off Louisville and actually starts pyron lol

 

[ElCidBUZZingFAN]

Given how ZP looked last year and Key’s comments about his growth this year, HK must be a baller.

Hype train engaged!

 

[smokey_wasp]

Excited to see what he can do
