Senior Daniel Evans will start at quarterback for N.C. State on Saturday against William & Mary, coach Tom O'Brien said Monday. Russell Wilson, the redshirt freshman who won the starting job during the preseason, suffered a Grade 3 concussion in the second quarter of the Aug. 28 opener against South Carolina. He is back on campus and attending class, but O'Brien said the staff doesn't know what Wilson's status is and is proceeding with Evans as the starter and Beck as the backup.

I hope that kid is okay, i was on the 50 yard line and saw that hit, he didnt move for 10 minutes. If State had a decent QB it would have been a better game, their D was good but just could not stay off the field to rest.

Never figured out why Evans wasn't the starter to begin with.

I figured even if his concussion wasn't that bad, they'd have the doctor tell him it was so that they could play Evans this week without hurting the kids feeling.

As always, the headline does not indicate the true content of the article. It makes it sound as if the program is, "headed in another direction".

Pathetic.
