UK Quarterbacks

[D-Rob]

Joker just announced Smith will be out significant time with a torn ligament in his ankle and flat out said yes that the redshirt is off of Patrick Towles and UK is preparing to play both Towles and Whitlow...

Wasted half of year?

 

This coaching staff wouldn't fly at Trinity......

[CBDV]

5 QB's on the roster, 1 injured, 1 redshirted. 3 left.

There's only 4... 1 injured, 1 terrible and 2 true freshmen.

Of course they wouldn't. But...they'd also have better players at Trinity.

[CoachBuckett]

So Newton was good enough last season but not good enough this season? Sounds like QB coach should be fired.

 

I hate the Towles is being wasted.

 

Whitlow looked good for situation he was thrown into. Another reason Joker should be fired. Your back up QB has to get quality reps.

 

Joker not having a back -up Ready at Florida shows he has no clue.

Every quality rep your back-up takes is a quality rep your starter doesn't get. I would think a Senior QB that has started over a dozen games would be ready unless he was pouting and not preparing.

He left football to play baseball at UK.

Smith is out for a while and the redshirt is off Towles

[woodsrider]

If Towles never sees the field will his redshirt still apply? I just don't see the point in playing him now unless you have too. I don't like splitting the time between Whitlow and Towles. Whitlow can't be reshirted now so why waste the year for Towles.

You have to play to actually burn the redshirt...

I'm with you. In the event of an injury to Whitlow, I think at this point, I'd rather see Newton under center than Towles. The season is already lost, so I would hate to lose a year of eligibility for Towles.

[The Scribe]

I think Joker is fearful that daddy Towles will make the younger Towles transfer if he doesn't see the field this year. Parents aren't always the smartest when it comes to seeing their all-star child sit the bench. It may be a case of sacrificing one year to ensure Joker gets three more from Towles instead of seeing him win Sun Belt Conference POW every week at Western Kentucky
