FAMU Notebook: Still no answers at QB for FAMU

Tallahassee, Florida -- Florida A&M head coach Alex Wood is still looking for answers at quarterback heading into Thursday’s road game at South Carolina State.

Carson Royal and Kenny Coleman both struggled — but have also shown starter-quality flashes — during the Rattlers’ first two games. The two have combined for 355 passing yards and no touchdowns, but both have had moments where they’ve effectively moved the offense.

They’ve also had trouble holding on to the ball. Coleman has three interception and a fumble lost, while Royal has thrown two interceptions, including a pick-six.

Their stat lines are similar after two games. Royal is 17-of-34 for 178 passing yards and Coleman is 20-of-43 for 177 yards.

Though Royal was named the starter, the two quarterbacks have split time on the field.

“It’s challenging,” Royal said after FAMU’s 58-21 loss to Samford.
