Rob Calabrese is no longer UCF’s starting Quarterback after his disappointing performance against Southern Miss. Saturday, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

O’Leary said Hodges earned it on the field and this is now his team, the report stated.

Offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe agreed, saying Hodges showed more poise on the field.

Calabrese was benched in the first quarter of the game. As we first reported on our facebook fan page, the Knights fell to Southern Miss. 26-19.
