TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- This is not about making excuses or looking ahead to next year. When you are trying to understand the mistakes and penalties, and for some, find blame for the way the Florida A&M University football team is playing, perhaps you should consider the youth on the team. The offense is young and mostly inexperienced. The defense on the other hand is filled with juniors and seniors. Where they are young on defense, you can tell the difference on the field.Quarterback – The starting position is held by a redshirt sophomore, who started the latter half of the season last year. Somehow after winning four games we expected to see a mature quarterback that could lead us to a breakout season. The more reasonable expectation maybe, is that he’ll have a breakout game soon, and at some point, began to be the quarterback we expect. Just as in life, it all depends on whether he can learn from his mistakes. If not, there is a red-shirt freshman and two outstanding freshmen who are redshirting this year. Will any of them be ready in 2018, or will FAMU have to recruit a proven junior college transfer to give the freshmen time to mature? For FAMU, this is the most critical position on the field. What Ryan Stanley does the rest of the season will determine just how stable the position is.
