Wide-spread rumors about the health of Austin Davis were confirmed by Larry Fedora on Sunday. Davis is out for the rest of the year with a tendon injury in his foot. Fedora has already announced the redshirt junior Martavious Young will be the starter against Louisville.

At today's press conference, Fedora mentioned that Young and Davis are similar and noted that Young has a stronger arm and more velocity on his passes. Look for offensive game plan modifications to focus on Young's strengths.
