Sophomore quarterback James Morgan will have some competition for first-team reps in practice this week, according to The Toledo Blade’s John Wagner.

Bowling Green head coach Mike Jinks burned the redshirt of true freshman Jarret Doege against Northwestern to play in relief of James Morgan, who went 15-of-26 for 166 yards and the Falcons’ lone touchdown.

Doege finished 12-of-18 for 90 yards in garbage time in his first game appearance.

Per the report, Jinks said he expects to play both quarterbacks in practice this week and will make a decision “by kickoff” on Saturday against Middle Tennessee State.
