For years the Kryptonite of Kentucky football has been the running quarterback. Naturally, that means Kentucky is going to start the season playing against one.
Over the weekend Central Michigan head coach John Bonamego revealed Tony Poljan will be the Chippewas’ starting quarterback.
Poljan is not your typical “dual-threat quarterback.” Standing 6’7″ tall, Poljan spent the 2017 season playing wide receiver and a Wildcat quarterback of sorts. He completed 10-of-17 passes for 61 yards, caught five passes for 97 yards and carried the ball 23 times for 110 yards and a touchdown. To put it plainly, he’s fast enough to play wide receiver but taller than Nick Fitzgerald, the Miss.
