That's a question that seems to keep popping up after IU's heartbreaking (can I even use that word anymore?) 34-31 loss to Virginia Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.

When IU trailed 23-3 early in the second half, I thought it was time to see Dusty Kiel. I didn't think the Hoosiers had anything left to lose.

And then came the comeback.

If you remember correctly, however, Edward Wright-Baker didn't make a ton of huge plays as the Hoosiers rattled off 28 consecutive points.

Lawrence Barnett returned a fumble for a touchdown. Matt Perez carried the ball a lot and scored two touchdowns. And Wright-Baker accounted for just one of the scores -- a nice touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Duwyce Wilson.

So ... should EWB continue to be the Hoosiers' starter? Is he the right guy to keep the seat warm until Gunner Kiel arrives on campus next fall?

I think he is, but I wouldn't be opposed to getting a look at Kiel and/or Tre Roberson in the next two non-conference games against South Carolina State and North Texas.

But what do you think? The question for you is simply: Is EWB 'The Guy?'
