Bret Meyer or Austin Arnaud?

Fans could hear it in the stands and reporters could hear it in the press box. As soon as senior quarterback Bret Meyer threw his second interception against Kent State last Thursday, the talk around the stadium was when Cyclone fans would see redshirt freshman Austin Arnaud. Even with a dismal opening season performance, Chizik said he isn't ready to sit Meyer.
"Everything out there was correctable," Chizik said at his Monday press conference.
But how much time is there to fix things? After an SEC title with Auburn and a national championship with Texas last season, Chizik said he wasn't going to accept anything average.
Losses cost Dan McCarney his job. Mistakes prevented Chizk from his first win.
"We've got to get back to the drawing board and make sure we protect the football which we didn't do a good job of tonight," said Chizik after the Cyclones loss to Kent State.
While Meyer remains at number one on the Cyclones depth chart, the question will be, for how long? In his opening season press conference, Chizik was asked at least three times about the possibility of playing Arnaud or third stringer Phillip Bates.
"Bret Meyer is our quarterback," Chizik said at the end.
While Chizik had to clarify exactly who his opening night starter was, its a question he might be seeing througout the season, especially if there are more games like Kent State.
"He can't throw two interceptions and turn the ball over twice and expect us to win against anybody, ever," Chizik said.
