A few quick-hitters from Tuesday’s affair de Burton:
– The quarterbacks, Zach Frazer and Cody Endres, are OR for starting this weekend against West Virginia.
“It’s an or situation and it’ll be a game time decision,” coach Randy Edsall says.
Endres, though he says he doesn’t know and I think I believe him, has a hunch that Frazer will be back.
“Zach’s a great player and I think he’s going to be back,” Endres said.
– The “other” quarterback, Tyler Lorenzen, is healing nicely with his broken foot.
The coach says he’s “doing some land-based training” and has no problems with that.
I have no idea what land-based training is but it sounds military in nature. Look for the Huskies to start throwing long bombs when Lorenzen returns.
Edsall did say Lorenzen might be back before bowl season.
“There is a possibility we get him back before the end of the regular season,” Edsall said.
– When asked a question about middle linebacker Greg Lloyd, Edsall called him “more of a situational player as opposed to an every down player.” That probably means lots of nickel defense this week.
– West Virginia is 5-0 at home and 0-2 on the road.
– West Virginia QB Pat White needs 348 rushing yards to become the NCAA’s all-time leader in rushing yards by a quarterback (Missouri’s Brad Smith has the record for now).
If he gets that much against UConn, suffice it to say it won’t be as close as 66-21.
– DT Rob Lunn is practicing this week. He’s day-to-day with that shoulder injury.
– Redshirt freshman Isiah Moore is playing the role of White on the UConn scout team this week.
Ex-quarterback D.J. Hernandez also had a short stint as the scout team quarterback slated for Tuesday.
