Turner, a junior who lost an intense competition for
the starting position to senior Namon Jones back in August and is the likely
starter next year, may have to be the No. 1 guy today against Tuskegee
(10-1).
“Namon has a bruised shoulder from the CIAA
championship game and has not practiced much,” ECSU coach Waverly Tillar said.
“We have Casey Turner and (third-strnger) Tyrell Houghton ready to go if he
can’t play.”
While losing a quarterback before a postseason game
might be a disaster for some teams, Tillar believes the Vikings (7-4), who are
coming off a 34-19 loss to Winston-Salem State in the CIAA title game, will be
just fine.
At the end of the duel between Jones, who backed up
Creven Powell the previous two seasons, and Turner, a transfer who began his
career at UConn, Tillar said that there was little difference between the two.
