Brooks: No timetable for naming starting QB

[ImForKy]

Rich Brooks not only enters fall practice without a definite successor for Andre Woodson at quarterback.


The Kentucky coach said Thursday he has no firm timetable in mind for when he will pick between Curtis Pulley and Mike Hartline.


”When it feels right, we'll make that decision,“ Brooks said at the University Club golf course in Lexington.

Rich Brooks is in no hurry to name a starting quarterback.

The Kentucky head coach said Thursday there is no timetable for when he'll decide if Curtis Pulley or Mike Hartline will be under center when the Wildcats open the season at rival Louisville on Aug. 31.

"When it feels right, we'll make that decision,'' Brooks said during the annual Governor's Cup luncheon.

Brooks was quick to praise the play of both Pulley and Hartline during spring practice as the two battle to replace Andre Woodson, who led the Wildcats to consecutive 8-5 seasons and a pair of Music City Bowl victories.

If they pick up where they left off following the Blue-White game, Brooks didn't rule out using both quarterbacks when the season begins.

"I do anticipate that they both may see some action this year, be it injury or otherwise,'' Brooks said. "I think both of them are going to have a role on this football team.''

Hartline, a sophomore, threw for all of 34 yards in mop-up duty last year. Pulley, a junior, redshirted last season but saw limited time at quarterback in 2005 and 2006 primarily as a backup to Woodson.
