Central Michigan names starting QB

[1_Cool_CAT]

Tony Poljan and it will be his first start. Last season, Poljan appeared in all 13 games. He completed 10-of-17 passes for 61 yards, caught five passes for 97 yards and ran 23 times for 110 yards and a touchdown.

I thought this was a football forum to talk about football.. As a UK football fan, who is excited and ready for opening day, I guess I care sweetie

I don’t, but I’m sure the UK coaching staff does, at least to a point.

Since they are our first opponent, I care. Along with, I'd guess, a majority of the fan base.

The guy is 6'7", which is unusual to see in football players:

https://cmuchippewas.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=1927

Seems pretty athletic for that size: "Named the No. 17 recruit in Michigan by the Detroit Free Press … ranked No. 20 in the state on the Lansing State Journal Catch-22 list … Completed 390 of 670 passes for 6,090 yards and threw 58 touchdown passes in career … ran for 3,118 yards on 500 carries and scored 58 touchdowns … named the Michigan Gatoraide Player of the Year in 2015 … earned a spot on the ESPN 300 as a senior …"

Caught five passes?

 

[TuckyFB]

He’s 6’7 and mobile. Nick Fitzgerald is a good comparison but this is his first start. UK wins but it’ll be interesting to see how the defense attacks.

I hope we dont jumpstart his Heisman campaign.

Our fortune the past.couple of decades ... this guy gets hurt or ineffective, and the backup comes in and goes for school records.

This year ... gotta be different. Eventually, the breaks gotta fall in our favor!

He might be running for his life.

 

[jrburt]

Very impressive athlete.

CMU is picked last in their conference this fall. Not that pre-season rankings mean anything, but I think the Cats win pretty convincingly.

 

[megablue]

We should win handily.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

They don’t.

I doubt many who voted have a clue about what CMU has to replace those lost. Voters see they lost their starting QB, the transfer from the Big House and place their vote.

 

[gobigblue812]

I'm expecting a play or two where he splits out wide and they throw a pass to him.

Nobody except UK football fans interested in our opener.

The MAC is rolling out a couple big qb’s this year. Buffalos qb is 6’7” as well.

Their starting QB will be irrelevant or we'll have a very long year. That was the point Poindexter.

He will run for his life all day. They lost 4 of 5 starters on the OL, most of his good receivers and I doubt seriously that he is even remotely similar to NF in speed, strength or skill. It's a terrible situation for the young QB really.

That's why I said "who cares" earlier. I know we're interested, I just don't think it matters.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

What did they name him?

I remember two seasons ago. We said we would win easily vs. Southern Miss and they came out and smacked us in the mouth. I’m taking any team seriously. UK has started out slow in all of our first games.

Sounds like "biggun" would do.

Granted but if that happens this year, I think it will be a very long year.

Total loser

 

[Robcatt24]

I'm expecting a similar game as Eastern Michigan last season.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

UK will have a new QB. CMU will have a new QB. UK has a star RB. CMU has a big time RB. Gonna be an interesting battle.
