October 28, 201312 yr I have talked with someone inside the program and they say the better QB on the team is Reese Phillips. Sounds more like an opinion because I believe it has been Towles getting the warmup tosses in previous games although he never came in.

October 28, 201312 yr I have talked with someone inside the program and they say the better QB on the team is Reese Phillips. Stoops said Phillips will be #3 this week and will get snaps in practice.
October 28, 201312 yr Either they are hellbent on redshirting Towles this year, or the kid simply isn't good enough to play at this level. Not sure which it is, but not looking good for him to ever play in Lexington.
October 28, 201312 yr Either they are hellbent on redshirting Towles this year, or the kid simply isn't good enough to play at this level. Not sure which it is, but not looking good for him to ever play in Lexington. I'd say they are committed to the redshirt.
October 28, 201312 yr I think its a mistake red-shirting any of these QB's. We are going to recruit over them in the next few years anyway. We desperately need the best current QB to be playing.
October 28, 201312 yr Stoops said Phillips will be #3 this week and will get snaps in practice. This doesnt suprise me after talking to a few folks. Wouldnt be suprised if he isnt inserted early in the game on Saturday.
October 28, 201312 yr I have talked with someone inside the program and they say the better QB on the team is Reese Phillips. I have heard the same thing. I have not been to a practice this year, so I don't know for sure. My only concern about hearing this (and it was from a very good source) is that I heard the same thing about twenty years ago when a reliable source told me......... "Wait until you see this Antonio O'Ferral play. Might be one of the best we have ever had here at UK". I haven't believed/trusted one thing the guy has said since then.
October 28, 201312 yr I can tell you I havent been to a practice either. Nor will I say Reece Phillips is the next Tim Couch. Just what others are saying. Spoke with a news paper person that has covered UK for last 35 years. They laughed today when talking about Towles and said you can tell UK staff are not sold on him. Also Told dont look for Max Smith to play another snap at UK this season. Look for him to have surgery and ride off into the sun set.
October 29, 201312 yr Whitlow started the season - played poorly replaced by Smith. Smith started - regressed and replaced by Whitlow. Whitlow started - got injured and replaced by Smith. Smith started - regressed further and will be replaced by Whitlow. The merry-go-round will stop at 2 and 10 in a few weeks.
