A little late to the party, but there is a stomach bug running through the Huskies team right. The main victims right now are quarterback Cody Endres and defensive end Lindsey Witten.
Endres woke up this morning vomiting and he won't be at practice today, which is somewhat alarming. Mike Box, the true freshman for Georgia, right now is the man in the ho tseat. He is going to run the first team offense and if Endres can't go he will be the player playing. Endres is expected to recover after 24 hours, but it's has to be a crash course for Box just in case.
If Endres can't go for any reason or his hurt during the game, Edsall was adamant that Box is next in. The Huskies are going to go with their best quarterback and not play around with trying to save a redshirt. Box is getting all the snaps today in practice.
As for Witten, he picked up another sack on Monday. There has been a lot of dispute as to his sack total and the defensive end picked up another one when he was credited with a sack that was previously given to Jess Joseph. Witten had three sacks against Ohio and four against UNC. He leads the nation in sack with 3.5 per game. He wasn't available either because of the GI (assuming it stands for gastrointestinal bug).
Other highlights: UConn coach Randy Edsall is adamant that the passing game is getting better. He brushed off the statistics which shows the Huskeis are once again near the bottom of the FBS in passing. He thought before he got hurt that Zach Frazer was throwing the ball well and the stats look much different if it were not a Brad Kanuch and a Isiah Moore drops.
I also have some good stuff from Reggie McClain, Kendall Reyes and Scott Lutrus.
Scott Lutrus looks and feels like he is ready to play. He thought he could play last week, but there was no talking the medical personnel in it. The Huskies will be practicing this week in the Shenkman Center and turning the heat up.
That's it for now, got to pay the bills
