Kyle Wright to start at QB for Miami

No matter the sport, no matter the level, there’s been a constant throughout Miami quarterback Kyle Wright’s athletic career.

After leading Miami on its lone TD drive against Oklahoma, Kyle Wright will get the starting nod at QB against Florida International on Saturday.

Until this season, he’d never been a backup. “I’ve never had to deal with that in any sport since I was 6 years old, sitting on the sidelines and watching,” Wright said. “Definitely a different feeling.”

That feeling is gone. After being the second-stringer for Miami’s first two games, Wright is again the Hurricanes’ starting quarterback, passing Kirby Freeman on the depth chart for Saturday’s game between Miami (1-1) and Florida International (0-2) at the Orange Bowl.

If Miami coach Randy Shannon gets his way, this will end what he calls a “round-robin deal” at the position
