The University of Washington’s football team is facing a tough test this weekend as they take on Michigan State without their three starting quarterbacks, Turner, Fabiculanan and Banks. With the trio out of the lineup, the Huskies will be relying on their backup quarterbacks to step up and lead the team to victory.
The absence of the three starting quarterbacks leaves a big hole in the Huskies’ offense. Turner, Fabiculanan and Banks have combined for over 3,000 passing yards and 24 touchdowns this season, making them a formidable trio. Without them, the Huskies will need to rely on their backup quarterbacks to fill the void.
The Huskies have two backup quarterbacks on their roster, redshirt freshman Jacob Sirmon and freshman Dylan Morris. Sirmon has seen limited action this season, completing just eight of his 15 pass attempts for 81 yards and one touchdown. Morris has yet to see any game action this season.
Sirmon and Morris will have their work cut out for them against a Michigan State defense that ranks second in the Big Ten in total defense and first in passing defense. The Spartans have allowed just seven passing touchdowns all season and are allowing an average of just over 200 passing yards per game.
The Huskies will need their backup quarterbacks to step up and lead the team to victory if they want to have a chance against Michigan State. It won’t be easy, but with the right preparation and game plan, Sirmon and Morris could be the difference makers for Washington.
