Alright who would everyone play at Kentucky? Would you consider planning to mix them in and out, have a guy and stick with him, or pick one and make him give you a reason to make the switch? Do you keep going down the depth chart and give Callum Wither a chance?

Me personally, I think I would go back to Navarro and hope he learned from those picks. I'd give the graduate/senior a chance to make us a contender, and if/when it becomes clear that isn't happening, I'd turn to the guys who can play for our next year and beyond.

No controversy, it was one bad quarter.

Parker is starting and Polous will likely see some PT as a change of pace.

As it should be. Was encouraged by what I saw from Poulos. VERY small sample size. Poulos is a big dude.

All this talk in modern day football about undermining the confidence of a quarterback if you bench them. Albin talks about a next man up mentality and so it doesn't hurt to remind your starter that the coaching staff is willing to go elsewhere if they are under performing. Navarro was having a rough streak there and Morgan State wasn't really threatening our Defense, so time to put Poulous in to see what he could do. Good plan, in my opinion. No controversy here.

Poulus didn't play well enough to take the job away from Navarro. He did okay, but one TD drive, 2/4 passing and a lost fumble didn't amount to a spectacular effort. Navarro wasn't awful; take away the INTs and he was 12/12. He just had an awful four or five minutes in the 2nd qtr. If he comes out throwing to the wrong jerseys again on Saturday he'll probably have a short afternoon, and then we might have a real QB controversy heading into the Akron game.

I did not hear he was announced as the starter. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist making the juicy subject title. I think we all hope we don't see what happens if he struggles.

Albin did confirm that last night, but Poulos will be available if Navarro has problems it sounds like.

Albin confirmed it last night, but it’s obvious that Poulos will get in if Navarro can’t move the ball consistently

I think we’re gonna see a heavy dose of running to try to grind the game way down regardless of who is taking snaps. Parker makes the most sense in this big of a game, but we can’t have what we had last week.

Looking forward to more Poulus in other games, but this one - Parker’s. He’ll be running all day long.

And you will see a heavy box and let’s just see who is better

I hope we get the UK that played USC and not the one that played UGA.

For that exact reason, TUTM is not the answer. That doesn't mean Ohio can't run the ball 40 times, though. They should be mixing up the runs, inside, outside, option, reverses, from double TE sets, from the spread, from motion sets, etc. And, of course, they need to throw the ball enough to keep that a threat as well. Oh wait, that just sounds like a normal Ohio game. ;)
