This comes as disappointing news to some Knights fans, as Hayden Rettig was easily the fan favorite. However, Kyle Flood knows a lot more about these two players than we ever will. While there aren't many details relating to Rettig's playing time, it is clear that Laviano is Flood's guy.

Flood let Laviano stretch the field against Norfolk State and let him have a lot more leeway.
