Justin Martini, who played most of the second half against Murray State, will start at quarterback Saturday. True freshman Bobby Brune will be the backup signal caller.

Brune, out of Cape Girardeau Central High, is scheduled to be red-shirted this season, meaning he likely will only play Saturday in case of an emergency.

Also on the injury front, offensive guard Jessie Eaton, who missed the Murray game with a shoulder problem, will be back in the starting lineup Saturday.
