Minimal. Most of the players suspended were back-ups or back-ups to back-ups. Even Chazz Surratt was expected to lose the quarterback battle. Both of our starting Defensive Ends will be active for Cal because UNC received a waiver to the suspensions of three DEs allowing the suspensions to be staggered.
Not flashy. Tough. Was expected to beat out Chazz Surratt for the starting QB position before the suspension. Knows when to run and when to throw. The team rallied around him last season and he has earned rave reviews for his ability to control the game, earn the respect of his team, and stay calm and poised.
