Three’s baaaaaaaaaaack…..

Kyle Wright was named starter for this week’s match up against FIU. Randy Shannon made the call earlier this morning. This will be Wright’s first start since suffering a wrist injury in a 17-10 loss against Virginia Tech last season. Shannon stated that it won’t be a “round robin deal” and that “it’s going to be the Kyle Wright show for right now.”

I don’t want to hang too much on that last comment, but I have to admit it’s getting tiresome to hear about who is the guy “for now”. After last week’s 51-13 debacle at Oklahoma, even a blind man could see that Kirby Freeman played himself out of a starting role for the foreseeable future. Nothing about his performance had anyone believing he could lead the Canes to success against any team better than the likes of a Nevada.

Wright is 14-7 as Miami’s starter with 4,123 passing yards and 27 touchdowns in 24 career appearances. He’s completed 59.3 percent of his passes – which ranks as fourth-best in Quarterback U’s history.

Um, why was Freeman named starter again? Wright sure has had his pitfalls, but as stated around this blog for months now – he gives Miami a better shot to win on his worst day than Freeman does on his best.

Here’s hoping Wright goes out and lights up FIU so that this quarterback ‘debate’ is squashed out once and for all. We don’t need anymore flip-flopping before next Thursday’s match up against Texas A&M.
