Towles can make all the throws?!
Have you even watched this season?
Towles can't even hit a simple crossing pattern.
Towles can make all the throws?!Barker and Towles have similar skill sets. They both can make pretty much all the throws and they both have a similar running ability. So, our offense won't change very much because of the switch of quarterback. Barker might be a bit more consistent and that is where the difference will come. However, Louisville won't be planning for inconsistency.
Regardless of whether Towles or Barker play, Louisville is going to key on the run and try to get Kentucky in third and long. Then they are going to pin their ears back and try to come at UK with just 4 guys. If they can get to UK with 4 then we'll struggle regardless of the quarterback. So, regardless of the quarterback the game should hinge upon whether the offense is able to stay out of third and long and if they are able to protect the QB and force Louisville to bring more than 4.
Seeing a game tape of Barker won't change how Louisville wants to approach the game. It won't tell them that Barker is more consistent because the level of opposition. The only bad thing the Charlotte game can do in terms of tipping off Louisville is if they see that Barker has some sort of tendency, such as staring down receivers, or preferring to go to a certain route or receiver. However, that is a risk we will have to take in order to give Barker some experience before such an important game.
Have to wonder how much of this is due to selling recruits on hope for the future...sell the fact that barker will be the guy and the offense struggled with towles ect.. Come help barker baker boom juice bone win the sec...Had Timmons caught the first TD pass the other day and Towles not checked out of the run play called by Dawson, are we having all these discussions about Barker replacing Towles? Towles was having some success. ????
