CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Who will start under center for Louisville in its Belk Bowl matchup with Georgia?

That's the big question for Petrino.

Behind door No. 1 is redshirt freshman Kyle Bolin, who went 21 of 31 for 381 yards and three touchdowns against Kentucky, in relief of freshman Reggie Bonnafon.

Bonnafon, recovering from an injured knee, is behind door No. 2.

On Friday, during their second day of practice in Charlotte, both quarterbacks appeared to be taking an equal number of snaps, about 10 at a time, in offense-versus-defense drills and passing drills.

Bolin went first, then Bonnafon and redshirt junior Brett Nelson.

One play had Bonnafon display unhobbled speed on a QB keeper to the right of side of the field.

There wasn't full contact on the quarterbacks, so Friday's look at practice may not have been indicative of Bonnafon's ability in a game environment.
