New SU QB McGinty ready for pressure

You want pressure?

The new starting quarterback at Southern University will feel it. First, he’ll fill the role left behind by Bryant Lee, who led the Jaguars’ offense for so long he seemed like a faculty member. As a senior last season, Lee finished as the school’s all-time leading passer. Second, he’ll take control of the new, complex, pro-style offense installed by first-year coach Stump Mitchell — and Mitchell, who said he expects to win right away, won’t give the new guy an easy way out.

So who in the world is prepared to fill this role? Maybe no one. But among the candidates, maybe Jeremiah McGinty comes closest. McGinty has felt pressure. He’s been in a spot like this before. Mitchell has said he believes McGinty will start, but he hasn’t yet made a final decision. “The coaching staff — they’re more chilled about it,” McGinty said. “Whoever’s getting the job done, that’s who’s going to play. It’s a competition, and of course I’m trying to win. I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes, you know?”
