N.C. State backup quarterback Mike Glennon is likely to get another early opportunity to play Saturday against Murray State.
Glennon played one series, totaling three plays, in the second quarter during the season opener against South Carolina and failed to direct the Wolfpack to a first down.
Coach Tom O'Brien wants to get Glennon experience so he will be ready in case he's needed because of injury. N.C. State starter Russell Wilson missed game time because of a concussion and shoulder and knee injuries last season.
During the ACC coaches' teleconference Wednesday, O'Brien said he hasn't made concrete plans for how he will use Glennon.
"We would like to get him in the game somewhere in the first half again to give him a little more exposure and a little more experience," O'Brien said.
O'Brien has been consistent, though, in maintaining that Wilson is the starter and that N.C. State will not rotate quarterbacks.

More than 3 plays

Hopefully

IF you start blowing out Murray
Wed, 09/09/2009 - 20:59 — Heels20The top priority coming into this game is getting this first string offense rolling. Once Wilson is on the same page as his receivers and more comfortable in the pocket, then it's time to get Glennon his snaps.
Good. I am not a proponent
