Starkel, a graduate transfer who previously played for Texas A&M, will replace Ben Hicks for Saturday's game against Colorado State.

After Hicks struggled Saturday against Mississippi, Starkel stepped in and went 17-for-24 for 201 yards and a touchdown.

"It wasn't so much what Ben did or didn't do. It's what Nick did," coach Chad Morris said Monday. "We were looking for a spark, something to get our offense moving, create some momentum, create some yards, give an opportunity for some big plays."
