I have been one to give Souverain much praise in the past, but he just has not preformed as well as Clayton - you never know what can happen during the off season, but I do believe Souverain will be converted to a WR or other position.
It will interesting what will happen at the QB position now that the SBC is out of our reach, we should start seeing either Souverain or Clayton and possibly both under center on some type of rotation system with Embick, still being our #1 guy.

I'm all for Embick…he is a tough SOB, but besides making sure we remain undefeated against FIU…..do we start preparing for next year now??

We need McKinson as a wr next year anyway…..apart from Simeon, none of our wr's for 2006 have really impressed me so far. He could be a Randle-El type of guy. Run some reverses with him.
McGahee, IMO has come a long way since spring where he struggled converting back to WR and in my opinion needs the ball more - he is a play maker when he has the ball in his hands - He has shown me that he cacthes everything thrown his way and makes things happen after the cacth. Why not put him on kick-off return, althought he did a few punt returns on Sat..

Doesn't McKinson have to WANT to change positions? He's really young, he could transfer and still have a couple of years of eligibility if he's hell bent of taking the snaps. I'd hate to lose him though!
IMHO…….
Unfortunately no. If he refuses he simply doesn't play. That may sound harsh but that's how they do it in college. There are currently about 5 guys who had to change positions to get playing time. Benson had to move from TE to LB because he was behind Crissinger-Hill. Also Tony was a WR but L Taylor and R Bynes had those spots sewn up. So TE was in the cards. WR Magahee was a DB for 3 years! Stetson can play O or D. He was behind some good quick D linemen so offense didn't look too bad. Some of us have openly questioned why Souverain was heavily recruited as a QB to FAU. Simple. Some coaches will recruit the best available athlete off the boards before someone else grabs him. The Big Boys are notorious for that. Grab him now and see where he fits in later.
We all know that Coach Schnelly is a pro set coach. Has been from day one and will not change. Some teams will fit the team around the QB( Atlanta/Vick), (Ravens/Dilfer: Big O line. He couldn't run)
(Omar Jacobs/Bowling Green)(Nebraska teams from the 70's and 80's) etc.
Clayton looks good under center. He has the prototype tools which Coach likes in his QB's. Tall w/weight. Kosar,Kelly,Testeverde, Brohm.
I would hate to see McKinson leave but if he's looking at QB and nothing else, he may not get the shot because of the offense we run.
You guys may remember years ago when Embick came. It drove coach nuts when he took off out of of the pocket!
As for playing the younger guys. Remember that there are seniors on the team who need some reps. Including Embick. They will probably keep the current system to give these guys a decent shot at the next level.
Sorry about the ramble.
