Maybe they feel that as a more veteran player, Kempt will handle the situation better. Noland is a RS FR who spent his redshirt year recuperating. Pretty tough spot to throw him in to.
*RUMOR* why is Park taking a leave of absence?
- Thread starter Artic Zone
- Start date
If you have a quarterback named Zeb you have to put him in the game, no question. How many chances do you think you'll get to start a QB named Zeb?
Not speculating, just posting again what I know. Not clear what Park’s suspension is for. It will just be labeled as a violation of team rules and there probably won’t be more clarity beyond that. Suspension is for one game. He is suspended for the game, but not from the team. Still practicing. Kyle Kempt will start but it is expected that Noland will also get some snaps is what I have gathered from my sources.
Guys -
I haven't had a chance to read through this entire thread but as of last night, Campbell was still in the decision making process as to how exactly this would play out. Based off of what I know, there's a ton of smoke behind Park not playing tomorrow and possibly not even making the trip.
IF that happens, and that still a big IF as I haven't been able to confirm anything on the record, my GUESS is that we see some sort of a quarterback combination in Norman. Not sure how fair it is to start Zeb in Norman. It's gonna get wild if this thing plays out the way I think it might.
Again, I want to reiterate that I'm not "reporting" any of just. Just what I am hearing. We'll see. Should know more when the team leaves here in a few hours.

Not trying to be a d*** but how could you possibly know who is better?
They better have a very short leash on Kempt, we're going to need someone that can scramble. Kyle isn't much of one.
What have you seen from Noland that makes you think he's the better option? Because he's higher rated? You might be in over your head..
Just give the ball to Montgomery 100 times.
If you think Noland is any more of a scrambling threat I think you're going to be disappointed
...but when Coach Campbell responded to Birch's inquiry, on which syllable of "suspended" did he put the emphasis?

You mean like Tommy Birch reading this and then asking the coach if Park was supended? OU coaches may not "scour" this site, but sure seems like newspaper reporters do.
Noland should be better since he should be our starting QB in 2 years. But obviously throwing him out there tomorrow would be rough.
First, I move over for nobody, I earned that. Second, I had the full week to prepare and we were at home. This is on the road against a team that beat OSU. You can't prepare enough for that. He will be lost the whole game. Worst scenario to get a start.
His mechanics are not different than a golf swing. Minor, subtle changes have huge impacts and very few of us can make those changes in battle. Park is not done developing as a QB so quit trying to drag the next wunderkind in.
you all act like it makes a difference who starts at QB...this will be a slow steady crushing with limited play calling beyond...Montgomery left...Warren right...Montgomery right...Warren left...I feel terrible for the RBs...they know the train they are about to collide with and can't get out of the way
Sound logic. I haven't heard anyone refute the end times so guess I should set an alarm so I don't miss it.
