Who will be the Pirates' quarterback?

Not, apparently, T.J. Mitchell, who threw for 2,309 yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions on 173-for-332 passing as a redshirt sophomore last season. Holmes said Mitchell is academically ineligible this fall, leaving HU's offense in the hands of redshirt sophomore Herbert Bynes, who played in three games last season, completing 7 of 15 passes for 114 yards.

"(Bynes) is a leader," Holmes said. "He's a good student. He has great character, works hard. He had some success (last year). He was a pretty good quarterback coming out of high school." The other quarterbacks on HU's roster are freshmen Darius Jackson out of John Marshall High in Richmond and Phillip Dunegan from Centreville High.
