I am so sorry to hear about what happened to Boo. I wish him a speedy and full recovery.

It looks like the future is now and the team must pull together and learn to be productive with Bates.
I feel that the snaps he has had through the year will pay huge dividends here. Also, this experience will be a positive carry over to next season.
That said, the Temple game will boil down to what wins championships. Defense.

Don't for a minute count out this Bobcat team or the coaching staff. The mountain just got a little steeper but that is all.

I believe Coach Solich said it will be Snyder. He was asked at a media event and said if he needed a third QB early in the season it would be Tettleton, but if it was later in the year it would be Snyder. This question and answer goes back to week 3 or 4 of the season so perhaps Frank's assessment would be different today.
It may be a Bates and Snyder combination. i have been told that Snyder may have the best arm of all of our QB's.

As it has gone with quarterbacks over the past decade or so they always seem 1 decent injury away from a medical redshirt. Theo Scott played 2 in 3 here as did BooJackson. The program I believe is becoming strategic with the whole concept of medical redshirt, using it if the probablity is high that a player will miss 1/2 season or more with a significant injury. That said, who's redshirt do oou burn, Tettleton's or Snyder's. I would start first by determining who is the better quarterback for the team in a game situation. If all things are equal you may as well get Snyder going figuring that the odds are good for a medical redshirt down the road than more so than Tettleton who has less years to play. The arm strength comparison that people keep making is moot. Who is better at reading defenses? What is the running ability like? Comfortable with the playbook?  You have to assume that either guy has at least adequate arm strength or else he wouldn't have been recruited.

Good news.

I've been told it's Snyder, and he will play.

This reminds me of the Pineapple Bowl when Bo Whitley got out of his wheel chair to lead the screaming eagles to victory.  I have a feeling we wont know for sure until next Tuesday.
