Coach Stan Parrish said Ball State University backup quarterback Tanner Justice is likely to play Saturday at Army.
Speaking at his weekly press conference, Parrish said Justice should have come in during Ball State's 23-16 loss to the University of New Hampshire to give freshman Kelly Page a break.
"Hindsight is 20-20, but I probably should have done that Saturday night," Parrish said.
Parrish said Page was still his starting quarterback right now, but did not say he would start Saturday.
Justice has completed five of his six career pass attempts for 54 yards. He has spent the last two years backing up former Ball State quarterback Nate Davis.
Page has completed 30 of his 68 attempts for 254 yards this season. He has one touchdown and twice has been intercepted.
