Will Isaiah Marshall Return vs. UCF?

Fresno State will face off against Kansas in a game on this coming weekend, with the question looming over the identity of the starting quarterback. Kansas' Isaiah Marshall is the starting quarterback, but he did not take part in the Jayhawks' previous game due to a lower-leg injury. Head coach Lance Leipold addressed the media on Monday and stated that it is too early to determine whether Marshall will play this weekend, as his health is being closely monitored.

Kansas opted to play Cole Ballard against TCU last week, and the staff will continue to monitor both quarterbacks leading up to the UCF matchup. Marshall was described as "not that close" to starting against TCU but was still seen as an emergency option. Leipold explained that Marshall's ability to prevent things made his decision a bit easier, but the final decision will depend on his health status heading into the 2:45pm CT game.
