Parker to start; Korn to see action
Posted by GameSetMatch on 18th August 2009
Kyle Parker has been named Clemson’s starting quarterback, the school announced on Monday, but backup Willy Korn — the most experienced signal caller on the roster — is expected to play in every game this fall.
The decision answered Clemson’s biggest question this summer as the Tigers head into their first full season under coach Dabo Swinney.
“Kyle Parker will be our starting quarterback against Middle Tennessee on Sept. 5,” Swinney said after practice Monday morning, according to a release from the school. “Kyle has separated himself from the other quarterbacks. I have been pleased with his progress and he gives us the best chance to be an explosive offense.
Willy Korn has shown great improvement since the spring and deserves to play. He will play against Middle Tennessee and it is my intent to get him into every game this year. I have the utmost confidence that both quarterbacks can lead us to victory,” Swinney said.
