QB Situation

[Stewhog 11]

I haven't heard every piece of what Bielema has said about the quarterback position, although I know he hasn't said much, but Cole Kelly is in a boot and crutches right now putting little to no weight on that foot. I can't imagine he's practicing, he's hobbling around. If Austin really is 100%, and getting all the reps in practice, I would expect him to be the guy on Saturday. Even if Bielema likes Kelly better, I don't see how he can justify starting him on a week of no practice. Although remember who we're talking about.

To be clear though I'm only assuming he's not practicing, but I do know that he's not walking on that foot yet.
I'm interested to see what happens and I just hope we have at least one healthy quarterback to get through the season. We might be playing Jack Lindsey before it's all over.

What is Kelly's injury?

[Kevin]

turf toe

[Tusks]

Whoever is running the 1's today is going to start Saturday.  Turf toe takes 2-3 weeks to heel.

That's what I figured. At this point I fully expect it to be AA.

[DeltaBoy]

It will be a surprise.

[hogmolar]

It will be a surprise.

And LSU is worried about it.  I could coach LSU defense this week.  Hey DB's you guys are all 1 on 1 because these WR cant get open for anything.  LB's your job is key on RB's but mostly just stay in the middle of the field.  DL pin your ears back and go all out to QB and don't be surprised if no one touches you.  The key is going to be sit down as soon as you do get off the field because it will only be a few plays until we score and you will be asked to get right back out there.  The good news.. it is only likely to be for 3 plays, so give me all you got.

Probably, although it may take LSU's anemic offense more than "a few plays" to score, even against Arkansas' moribund defense. 35-10 LSU.

Knowing Bret even if Kelly were having to get around on crutches due to his toe issue he's probably still play. Main reason is that with a second option beside Austin it keeps LSU guessing and not being able to adequately game plan for the "big surprise" as to who will actually be behind center. CBB is so clever that way.

"What difference, at this point, does it make?"

[Hog-Corleone]

It will be a surprise.

it will be a surprise to Bret too.

[Ironhawg]

At this point I'd just like to get through these last few games with nobody getting seriously hurt.

[oldhog63]

2-3 weeks AFTER the season. It won't heal during the season unless he stays completely off it, which he won't during the season.

I would like to see Storey get a shot but i doubt Bret even remembers he has a 3rd QB on the team.  We are going to get our asses kicked so bad by LSU we may not have anyone wanting on the field by the 4th quarter.  Unless LSU has a HUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE mental breakdown, they cannot help but pound our butts without even trying hard and I bet they will be trying hard.  I had forgot about Matt Canada being at LSU.  He has a score to settle and Saturday is payday.

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

Its official, we have a qb controversy for the 1st time under Bielema. He finally plays a backup and we have a qb controversy. Ironic and Hilarious

[GolfHog]

Ty Storey is probably the best QB on the roster if you go by the fact that he can't get on the field.

[cal34]

"What difference, at this point, does it make?"

+1  We might need 3 QB's for this game.  They are gonna get pounded.

[Kevin]

very good

[Vantage 8 dude]

Ty Storey is probably the best QB on the roster if you go by the fact that he can't get on the field.

Well have you ever considered the possibility that like TJ he may be having trouble learning the playbook being taught in hoganese

[Soooie21]

Want Kelly to play the rest of the season..

[devildoghawg]

Shocking, another athlete with a foot injury.

[HogPharmer]

I hear Cantrell may be getting some snaps this week... Especially if we get down to the 2 yard line.

[Mr Jade]

Kelly's hurt, and I don't expect AA to play this weekend at all.

[HoggyCat]

Probably, although it may take LSU's anemic offense more than "a few plays" to score, even against Arkansas' moribund defense. 35-10 LSU.

Not with their rushing attack.
