I think Porter Able is going to pull a Curtis Jefferson and option NC A&T to sleep then torch the secondary with deep throws to Brown. We win by two touchdowns .

With the zone read, you still need a QB who can run. Who are you thinking will fill those shoes?
Don't count out Dashon Tibbs, played QB in high school and has played a lot this season
I'm in favor of this option, if only because having uniform jersey #87 playing quarterback would be pretty amusing.
It would indeed be interesting, and I would love to see it, especially in view of the NCAA rules:
"NCAA
According to NCAA rule book, Rule 1 Section 4 Article 1 recommends numbering as follows for offensive players;
Backs 1–49
Center 50–59
Guard 60–69
Tackle 70–79
End 80–99
Otherwise all players must be numbered 1–99, the NCAA makes no stipulation on defensive players. Two players may also share the same number though they may not play during the same down. The lowest numbers are often considered the most prestigious, and they are frequently worn not just by specialists and quarterbacks but also by running backs, defensive backs, and linebackers. Kickers and punters are frequently numbered in the 40s or 90s, which are the least in-demand numbers on a college roster. The increased flexibility in numbering of NCAA rosters is needed since NCAA rules allow larger rosters than the NFL; thus teams would frequently exhaust the available numbers for a position under the NFL rules. It is not uncommon for NCAA teams to have duplicate numbers, with an offensive player having the same number as a defensive one—this is allowed as long as both players are not on the field at the same time. " Wiki, "Uniform number (American football)"
I note that the article states that the NCAA "recommends" the numbering system. I am not sure what that means in view of the language following in the article which seems to suggest that at least in one case in order to wear a number outside of the system, the team had to lobby the NCAA (The number was "100".). In other cases which did not conform to the numbering system, it appears that the schools did not lobby the NCAA to wear numbers outside the system but under 100.
Apparently, according to the article, the NFL enforces the rule.

Not quite the pitch is the hard part. It may happen but the pitches will be iffy.
Possible preview of what we'll see this weekend? Abell pictured with Brown and Tibbs. (Photot was taken yesterday at practice)
Agree. Just win the first one, worry about the next one Saturday night. The stuff from which legends are made. Roll Spiders.
I believe that is Porter's dad next to him in the pic. Doesn't he run a Triple Option up at W&L?
