And your 2006 starting quarterback is ....

Chances are Temple football's quarterback situation will be like the Florida weather.
Constantly changing the next three weeks or so.
It'll be up to Al Golden to settle on someone, but Allie G. probably would prefer someone to seize this opportunity and go to the head of the class at Temple University.
There's a lot of talent and a lot of inexperience at the position.
These few paragraphs, ripped from the pages of the current official team prospectus and released yesterday, say it best:

"Position concerns are a standard reality for all programs prior to the start of preseason camp. The Owls� area of primary concern resides under center, where the team needs to identify its starting quarterback prior to its opening battle against the Bulls. A pair of sophomores�Colin Clancy and Shane Kelly�saw action as true freshmen in 2005. They competed in the spring with Jarrett Dunston, a mid-year transfer that was the top rated postgraduate quarterback in the nation by Rivals. Clancy played in five contests in 2005, connecting on 10 of 19 aerials for 121 yards and a score. Kelly competed in one game, completing two of six passes for 18 yards at Wisconsin.
The trio will grow by two in preseason camp when former Penn State signee Adam DiMichele and true freshman Vaughn Charlton, from nearby Avon Grove High School, join the fray. Golden expects a five-horse race for the starting job once camp begins."

What is known is that the guy with the most savvy, the guy with moxie beyond his tender years, probably will step to the head of the class.
Adam DiMichele gets high marks in that category from the Pittsburgh papers, having been named a Super 5 (top five) football player in the Pittsburgh area by the Post-Gazette and was named the Tribune-Review's basketball player of the year.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of the QBs in action.
