Heffner spent time in weight room
Antonio Heffner is off-limits to the media this week because Tennessee State Coach James Webster doesn't want him bothered by questions about facing Eastern Kentucky. If only it were that easy to keep EKU's defense away from the TSU quarterback. It was against the Colonels that Heffner's 2007 season abruptly ended when he broke his leg trying to escape a heavy rush.
No. 25 TSU (3-0) faces EKU (1-2) in Saturday's Ohio Valley Conference opener at LP Field. And the Colonels might not recognize Heffner. Not only is he back on his feet, he is bigger and stronger than when they saw him last.It was the second straight year Heffner was seriously hurt. It inspired him to do whatever was necessary to change his bad luck. He hurt his shoulder the year before. After his leg healed last winter he headed for the weight room to become sturdier.
