  UCF coach Gus Malzahn has named John Rhys Plumlee the team's starting quarterback, Malzahn announced on social media Sunday afternoon. Plumlee beat out sophomore Mikey Keene and true freshman Thomas Castellanos to earn the job. "All the way back to spring, I've watched every scrimmage - the ones that were live and the other ones that weren't - just trying to put [together] all of the information to make the best decision," Malzahn said Saturday before the announcement. Prior to training camp, the UCF coach aimed to name a starting quarterback following the second scrimmage but an extra week was needed to make the choice.

Malzahn previously said it's one of the most important decisions the coaching staff will make. "That's probably the biggest challenge," he said a week ago. "The good thing is we've got two guys we can win with. I don't know how many programs around the country can say that, so we feel really strong about that." Although Plumlee and Keene each offer their own strengths and weaknesses, Malzahn knew a decision had to be made at one point. "We've got to name a starter," Malzahn said Saturday. "That will help our team and help our chemistry." The Ole Miss transfer brought great speed and athleticism with him from the SEC. "Coach Malzahn is the type of offensive mind that can use a good skillset. My skillset is pretty unique with my running ability," Plumlee said at the team's media day. "He's had success in the past [at Auburn] with Nick Marshall and guys that have similar abilities to me." - Orlando Sentinel
