Stan Drayton shouldn’t have to wait for eight more before reaching that same conclusion. After eight games, we know that much about Mathis. Wanting to be a millionaire is one thing but you can’t get there if you aren’t jumping up and down for the opportunity. Right now, the team has taken on Mathis’ lackluster on-field personality and that kind of malaise can be a poison pill. He gets a warmup game for Rutgers and has a chance to rally the team around his personality so it spreads to the rest of the Owls and gives them a better chance at winning the Homecoming game. Starting Patterson could be doubly beneficial for the Owls. To be honest, Mathis did not look all that great against Wagner last year. He could look great in that game and lay an egg against Rutgers a week later. Starting Mathis again on Saturday against Lafayette would be Fool’s Gold. No Temple starter since Chester Stewart or maybe Vaughn Charlton has started a career with this many three-and-outs.
Of Mathis’ eight Temple starts, his one good one last year (Memphis) appears to be the outlier. If the Duke game were the outlier, that would be one thing. That’s one of the reasons Patterson needs to be the starter against Lafayette on Saturday. At least more than Mathis has in two places. Quincy Patterson has been that at both Virginia Tech and North Dakota State. Mathis hasn’t been that person at either Georgia or Temple. Someone who instead of throwing the ball away on third down with an open lane ahead of him, takes off and runs and buys his teammates three more downs. Nothing wrong with that but quarterback is a position where you need a fiery leader, someone who doesn’t settle for three-and-outs. Tech to a wild 43-41 victory with a two-point conversion run in the game’s sixth overtime.The hard lesson I learned and I hope Mathis does is that you DO have to be overly excited to even get the chance at a million bucks but that’s just not his personality. Patterson entered the game in the second half when the Hokies starter went down with an injury, and eventually propelled Va. The game marked the debut of college football's new overtime rules, which call for going for two points after the fourth overtime. Patterson’s signature performance came in Virginia Tech’s victory over North Carolina in a six-overtime thriller, the longest game in ACC history. to a 47-7 victory over Team Canada.Īfter redshirting his first year in Blacksburg, Va., the dual-threat quarterback played in seven games for the Hokies in 2019, totaling 257 yards and two touchdowns through the air and 241 and two touchdowns on the ground. Under-19 National Team in that year’s International Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, helping the U.S. Patterson, then a highly touted high school prospect out of Chicago’s Solorio Academy, played for the 2018 U.S. National Team alumni is Virginia Tech quarterback Quincy Patterson II. Looking to follow in the footsteps of his fellow U.S. Before starring on college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays, Jameis Winston and Dwayne Haskins served as signal callers for the red, white and blue.
