Toledo freshman quarterback Kalieb Osborne will be under center to start Tuesday's Boca Raton Bowl against Louisville, On3 Sports reported.

Osborne will get the nod in place of traditional starter Tucker Gleason, who sustained what he labeled as 'a couple fractures in (his) back.' He reportedly sustained the injury during the Rockets' 21-3 victory over Central Michigan in the regular-season finale on Nov. 29.

Gleason, who has started every game this season for Toledo (8-4), has completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 2,515 yards with 21 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Osborne has completed 15 of 24 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns during spot duty this season.

While the Rockets are riding a four-game winning streak, Louisville (8-4) enters Tuesday's contest having snapped a three-game losing streak with a 41-0 shellacking of Kentucky on Nov. 29.
