Noah Kim - Could assume starting role Kim split reps in practice with Ethan Vasko and could be the starter against Troy come Saturday, Julia Kennedy of WBTW News 13 reports.

He threw for 182 yards and two touchdowns and while completing 64 percent of his passes. Now, it's unclear who will start against Troy on Saturday as both gunslingers are getting a shot in practice. It's also reportedly possible that both quarterbacks play and the Chanticleers ride the hot hand.

Ethan Vasko - Splitting reps in practice Vasko is splitting reps with Noah Kim in practice as Coastal Carolina is unsure about a starter for Saturday, Julia Kennedy of WBTW News 13 reports.

Impact Vasko hasn't played since Week 8, when he was benched after the first quarter of the Chanticleers' game against Louisiana after completing 3 of 10 passes. Kim, meanwhile, was solid in relief of the starter, throwing for 182 yards and two touchdowns while completing 64 percent of his passes. Coastal Carolina appears unsure who it wants to start this week quite yet, and both gunslingers could reportedly play.

Noah Kim - Solid in relief Kim was 16-for-25 passing for 182 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-24 defeat to Louisiana. He also had five rushes for five yards.

Impact Kim got his first extended action as a Chanticleer, stepping in for Ethan Vasko after a lackluster offensive first quarter. While Kim didn't light it up, he was efficient and didn't turn the ball over, which could be enough for CCU to consider a permanent QB change. Coastal Carolina has Week 9 off and it's unclear who'll draw the start for their matchup at Troy on Nov. 2.

Ethan Vasko - Benched after first quarter Vasko completed 3 of 10 passes for 10 yards during Saturday's 34-24 defeat versus Louisiana.

Impact Vasko started Saturday's game but was replaced by Noah Kim to start the second quarter after all three of Vasko's drives resulted in a punt. Kim finished the game 16-for-25 for 182 yards and two touchdowns, which could be a good enough performance to warrant a permanent QB change. Coastal Carolina has a bye in Week 9, and it's unclear if Vasko or Kim will be under center against Troy in Week 10.

Noah Kim - Gets run late Kim completed 4 of 7 passes for 18 yards during Thursday's 39-7 defeat to James Madison.

Impact Kim was under center for the Chanticleers' final three drives, replacing the struggling Ethan Vasko while the team trailed 36-7. Kim didn't exactly light it up, going three-and-out twice and logging negative nine rush yards. Vasko is expected to remain the starter moving forward, but Vasko's leash could be shorter.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ethan Vasko - Struggles against JMu Vasko completed 5 of 18 passes for 84 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Thursday's 39-7 defeat to James Madison. He also had four rushes for 38 yards.

Impact Vasko went 4-for-5 for 82 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter but completed just one of his final 13 attempts with a pair of interceptions. He was replaced by Noah Kim late in the third quarter, though it's unclear if the change was due to bad play or the lopsided score. Regardless, Kim didn't do anything spectacular and Vasko had been solid until now, so a quarterback change doesn't appear imminent.
