According to the Orlando Sentinel, UCF head coach George O’Leary named Justin Holman the starting quarterback.
Holman replaced DiNovo in the second half of Saturday’s season opener against Penn State and changed the entire dynamic of the offense, completing 9-of-14 passes for 204 yards and three total touchdowns. DiNovo was yanked after struggling to get the offense into a rhythm in the first half, completing 3-of-8 passes for 18 yards.
“We’ve got three kids we’re working with, but Holman’s been elevated to No. 1,” O’Leary told the Orlando Sentinel.
UCF has a bye-week to adjust to Holman as the definitive starter before they head up to the midwest to take on No. 24 Missouri Saturday, September 13.
