Senior Justin Holman will be the starting quarterback when the UCF football team kicks off its season opener against South Carolina State Sept. 3.

Holman's name was listed as No. 1 on the team's depth chart released Friday and fellow senior Nick Patti was listed as the team's backup quarterback.

The decision comes as little surprise given Holman's experience leading the Knights for the past two seasons. But new head coach Scott Frost wanted to make sure all players had a fair chance to fight for positions since he took over as the Knights 10th head coach on Dec.
