In terms of health, nobody needed the bye week more than the quarterback room. Rice didn’t just lose by 48 to UTSA — the Owls lost three quarterbacks in that demolition. Starter Chase Jenkins exited with a left leg injury, then Drew Devillier exited with a shoulder injury, and true freshman Patrick Crayton Jr. rounded out the misfortune by leaving the game to get stitches. Fourth-stringer Lucas Scheerhorn finished the night for Rice, and that leaves the question — who will start Saturday? Rice head coach Scott Abell did not specify the extent of the injuries but implied Jenkins and Deveillier are day-to-day while Crayton is fully cleared. Abell also stated that Rice may play multiple quarterbacks as Jenkins and Devillier are limited in different facets due to the nature of their injuries. Jenkins started all seven games this fall, spearheading Abell’s new gun spread option offense as the most mobile option. The 6’5”, 228 pound Devillier is more of a traditional pocket passer, earning his lone collegiate start last October at UConn.<- [/QUOTE]
