After Patrick Towles threw two first-half interceptions against Eastern Kentucky last week, many wondered if coach Mark Stoops might turn to backup quarterback Drew Barker.

After all, Stoops said early in the week that Barker would play for the first time this season — probably because he expected an easier game than UK had before rallying to win in overtime.

Towles completed just 10 of 19 passes the first half for 121 yards. In the second half, he was 19 of 23 for 208 yards and three scores.

Stoops somewhat explained his thinking on his weekly radio show Monday night.

“Patrick is our starting quarterback. Some day when Drew’s our starting quarterback, he’s going to want that same support from me,” said Stoops.

Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said he was “proud” of Towles after the game. Both Dawson and Stoops had partially defended Towles earlier this season when he was not sharp in a loss to Florida, a performance that is a bit easier to understand after the way Florida’s defense dominated Mississippi last week.
