Davis leads UWF — but Leary started last week

Ty’Ray Davis made the biggest plays in UWF’s 37–3 win over West Alabama. But Donovan Leary got the start, leaving the quarterback situation worth watching as the Argos prepare for Eastern Kentucky.

Davis led UWF with 126 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He also completed 10 of 16 passes for 99 yards and a score. His running helped the Argos build a 23–0 halftime lead, and he added a touchdown pass to Tyshon Mansell in the third quarter.

Leary completed 7 of 11 passes for 52 yards, threw one interception and connected with Tyler Dostin for a fourth-quarter touchdown.

Davis’ playmaking makes a strong case for keeping him involved, especially with his ability to create on the ground. At the same time, Leary started last week, so the quarterback question remains part of UWF’s preparation for EKU.

The Argos have leaned on both quarterbacks this season. Leary started in the 20–17 win over Southeast Missouri State, completing 16 of 36 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Davis has brought a different spark with his running ability, including 126 yards and two scores against West Alabama.

That gives UWF options, but the split also leaves a key question ahead of Saturday: who gets the first snap against Eastern Kentucky? Davis’ production gives the Argos a reason to keep using his legs and playmaking, while Leary’s start last week shows he remains part of the plan. How the staff handles the rotation could shape the offense’s approach on the road.
