RICHMOND, Virginia -- Virginia Union’s two-quarterback system was on display Saturday at Hovey Field in the Maroon and Steel game, the final intrasquad scrimmage before the Panthers’ regular-season opener next weekend.Austin Parker, a 6-foot, 210-pound senior transfer from Purdue, started behind center and took all the first-quarter snaps. Shawheem Dowdy entered in the second quarter and the two shared series for the remainder. Dowdy is a 6-4, 218-pound redshirt junior who played in eight games last season.
Both had success. Parker threw a pair of touchdowns and rushed for one. Dowdy threw for three.
Second-year head coach Mark James was pleased with the way the offense moved throughout the day, scoring 41 points.
James said the Panthers will name a starter midweek as his team opens the 2015 season at home against Brevard College on Saturday, but it may not necessarily be a reflection of actual playing time.
“We’re a two-quarterback system,” James said, “so we use both quarterbacks. It’s just a matter of which we use first.”
