Injury Outlook
The starting quarterback appears unlikely to suit up for the matchup after sustaining a rib injury. The coach described the situation as day to day and noted four days remain before a decision must be made. A significant improvement would be needed to alter the current outlook, and the player did not participate in practice while the backup took all repetitions with the first unit.
Details From the Previous Outing
The injury occurred on a run late in the first half. In the six drives before exiting, the quarterback completed six of 11 passes for 69 yards and was sacked four times. Through six games this season the passer owns a 145.7 rating that ranks 10th in the conference.
Backup Shows Promise
The transfer from Stanford handled the remainder of the game and finished 28 of 39 for 251 yards and three touchdowns. The offense converted six of 10 third-down attempts with the new signal caller, who consistently delivered the ball quickly to primary targets.
