Mark Stoops is Closer to Naming a Starting Quarterback

Kentucky’s quarterback competition could soon come to a close. The battle between Terry Wilson and Gunnar Hoak has produced few headlines around the Commonwealth, but Mark Stoops is almost ready to select a starter.

“I think we have to settle in and see where we’re going to go,” Stoops told the media after today’s scrimmage. “We’ll zero in on that probably when we get closer to the Monday of game week.”

Stoops indicated after the spring game that both Hoak and Wilson could play in the season-opener against Central Michigan. Neither quarterback has game experience and the head coach wants to see how they react under the bright lights.
