According to Larry Vaught, sources are confirming that Morgan Newton will start in place of the injured Mike Hartline. Rich Brooks however won't confirm a starter yet. Both Will Fidler and Morgan Newton have done well in practice this week. The older players are more supportive of Will Fidler because he has been there a while and they believe Fidler deserves shot at starting. Fidler had over 9,000 passing yards in his high school career. Morgan Newton was a top QB prospect in last year's recruiting class and was the Mr. Football of Indiana last year. Newton perhaps could be the best UK QB to take the field since Tim Couch. Hopefully his debut will flow a lot easier than previous UK QB's who have struggled in their debut. Rich Brooks confirmed that Randall Cobb will not be the full time starting QB because it would change the offense too much but I would still expect Cobb to take a few more snaps at QB in the Wildcat Offense to keep the game in control. Newton's father, says "Morgan is ready" and when he gets his chance, he promises their will be "fireworks and excitement!"
