Cutter Boley Starting For Uk

Other than Pat White, I’m struggling to think of examples. What are other backups we’ve turned into heroes?
 
Last year Pitt kicked our ass with their backup and FSU beat us in ACC championship game with a horrible backup.
We were beating the hell out of Jordan Travis and knocked him out two years ago...and Tate Rodemaker proceeded to eat us up. Of course we were also privileged to watch Caleb Williams opt out of the Holiday Bowl only to see Miller Moss look like the 2nd coming of John Elway.

I will add one more though it is more anecdotal...we knocked Jeff Speedy out of the 1st game of the Governor's Cup and it was Antonio O'Ferrall who they won with. Our issue that night was less QB play though they did score on something of a lucky deep ball; we turned it over four times.

I think Miller Moss just threw another TD

All I remember is a young David Akers (from Tates Creek high) missing two fairly easy FG's on our way to losing the inaugural Gov Cup.

As I am sure you know Hack but others may not, Akers went on to a very long career in the NFL and is currently the all-time leading scorer for the Philadelphia Eagles. Sixteen seasons overall, 12 with Philadelphia, 1 with Washington, 2 with San Francisco and 1 with Detroit.

But those two missed FG's haunt me.

Trivia .... Akers' son is a punter for Northwestern. If he plays, he's probably pretty busy.
