| Hartline to enter camp as #1 UK QB
 Quote: | Pulley's legal issues lead to Hartline getting starting QB nod
July 31, 2008
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky quarterback Curtis Pulley's recent legal troubles mean sophomore Mike Hartline will begin preseason camp as the Wildcats' starting quarterback.
Kentucky coach Rich Brooks announced Thursday that Pulley, who was even with Hartline after spring practice in their competition to replace the departed Andre Woodson, has been demoted to No. 2.
Pulley was arrested on several traffic charges in Hardin County on July 22. He pleaded guilty to speeding in Hardin County District Court on Wednesday. A charge of driving on a suspended or revoked license was dismissed.
Pulley also received a citation for marijuana possession in Louisville in June.
Brooks said Pulley could miss some playing time, but did not rule out that Pulley could eventually become the starter.
Brooks also said Thursday he will discipline quarterback Will Fidler internally following Fidler's arrest on disorderly conduct charges outside a Lexington restaurant last week.
| | Impact: This was a messy situation to begin with before the scholarship QB's decided to all get arrested. Brooks is going to be looking for his next Couch or Woodson, and he will have a short leash with everyone. Not worth a shot at the moment in redraft leagues.
