Both guys will get reps this week. So each will be half-prepared. I’m sure it’ll work out great.

He said he didn't want to announce a starter prior to Saturday so Kentucky had to prepare for both

8 games in and the most important position on offense is not settled.

Hew had all spring and fall to teach and evaluate JA.

AD did not get here until fall camp I think.

JA has had his chance, but I think Hew will run him out there first and see if he can run the RPO any better.

IF AD does not play in 5 games, he can redshirt.

Too early to make a decision.

Just need to see one more half of play from JA and then Hugh can decide.

Outside of pissing us off, there is no reason to announce a starter.

I think I now know why he was benched at Okie.

Yea basically said similar after the game when he made the comments about watching film. It is just coach gamesmanship. Don't get me wrong, I'll be royally pissed of Jackson starts, but I wouldn't expect Hugh to announce anything and it will be a "gametime" decision.

Dont be stupid.

There is no ceiling if Ashton plays. Arnold can and has already beat Bama once.

Undetermined. I think we have a game or two we can figure out what Daniel's ceiling is. Jackson just doesn't have it right now and is making terrible reads. There needs to be a reset and maybe sitting a game or two can help him.

I know his ceiling. His passes are weak. There is plenty of Pac12 tape.

I think most of the SEC has discovered a spy on Arnold running and a consistent pass rush more or less neuters anything Arnold brings to the table. I don't expect bama to be any different.

Still think he is our best chance to win.

If Ashton was legitimately a QB in his own right we wouldn't have waited so long.

I think our best chance to win is Jeremiah Cobb, our defense and a positive turnover margin. That's all that won the Arkansas game and they may be the worst defense we face. We come into the UK game trying to play Freeze ball, we could even lose that game. UK's defense isn't completely awful.

I think I'm with you. JA has a higher ceiling and his 1st halves have been solid for the most part. Start JA and if/when he begins to struggle go to the pen

You think a couple of practice days this week is going to somehow convert one of them into being good??

Totally orchestrated.

If jackson walks out there first, the entire stadium should walk out in unison
