Quarterback is where he's always wanted to be. Fortunately, he has never let go of his quarterback playbook. He's taken the tests, stayed involved. Mentally, I'm ready now. Instead of catching passes, he'll be throwing them.
Every day now is an audition for next year.
Now I'll have a little better shot next year. Indeed, Lewis will be gone and Marshall won't have the huge experience edge it appeared he would. Also in the mix is the talented Danny Embick, who was supposed to be redshirted this year and whose job last week was to run the scout team, a situation that changed with Marshall's injury. Embick becomes the No. 3 quarterback and while coach Rich Rodriguez doesn't want to use him, he will have to in an emergency. Embick admits that last weekend was a bummer.
