The decision to start N’Kosi Perry at quarterback was made with the statement that Jarren Williams is still not 100 percent physically. Perry relieved Williams two weeks ago against Virginia Tech after the Miami football team threw three interceptions on their first three drives of the game.
Williams reportedly has had soreness in his shoulder. Diaz stated that Williams has responded well mentally after sitting out last week against Virginia, but that he is not able to do everything expected of him physically at quarterback to start against Georgia Tech this week.
