As hard as it is to believe, Demon QB Germayne Edmond made his third start ever as NSU quarterback on Saturday, and just his 12th start ever as a QB. Everyone knew going in that the onus would be on Edmond to move the ball through the air, something NSU did not have to do against Henderson.
So when Edmond came out and threw two interceptions in the first quarter, the natural assumption was that Drew Branch, the transfer who had been pushing Edmond for his job, would be coming in. Surely you could not abide by a signal caller who would turn the ball over.
That is why Scott Stoker is the head coach and we are all, in this case, Sunday Morning Quarterbacks. Stoker stuck with Germayne, knowing that pulling him off of two straight picks could dangerously erode his confidence.
So how did Edmond repay him? After the second pick, Edmond went 14-of-25 passing for 251 yards and two touchdowns.
And we may have just been witness to the coming-of-age of the next great Demon signal caller.
