Grady, Morris Getting Reps

Following the opening game lost to Minnesota, Jerry Kill was quoted as saying he expects to use all of his quaterbacks this season, little did we know how right he would end up being. Just two games later, Kill has used three quaterbacks and is preparing his fourth for game action. With Chandler Harnish out indefinitely due to a sprained foot and Dan Nicholson nursing a sore arm stemming from offseason surgery, DeMarcus Grady and Ryan Morris are taking all of the reps at quaterback leading up to Saturday's bout vs. Indiana State.


Dan’s shoulder is still bothering him quite a bit; we’re just going to have to wait and see. We’re hoping to know more on Tuesday. He hasn’t practiced a whole lot in the last week. We’ve been working with DeMarcus (Grady) and Ryan Morris at that spot right now. That’s kind of where we are. We hope Dan will be ready to play, but we'll know more on Tuesday.

Grady saw time at Western Michigan, but did not attempt a pass. He carried the ball seven times for forty-three yards and a touchdown, however. Morris has yet to see playing time this season, but appeared in eight games last season including three starts. Kill could start either Grady or Morris, but also has the option of using Grady for running plays like he did versus Western Michigan a week ago. If Nicholson is cleared ready for game action, he is the most likely candidate to start.

The Huskies (0-2) open their home slate against FCS opponent Indiana State (0-2) on Saturday.
