Kyle Whittingham said the redshirt freshman QB has been elevated above Bryson Barnes on the depth chart, while Rising remains day to day in his comeback from an ACL injury.
Johnson has been officially promoted to the team’s “backup” quarterback job behind “starter” Cam Rising, who is still recovering from surgery for a torn ACL.he’s hopeful Rising will be cleared to play this weekend vs. Weber State“I’d say based on the whole body of work that we’ve seen, Nate deserves the chance. And he’ll be the starter if Cam’s not available,” said Whittingham. “That’s where we’re at, and that’s after a lot of evaluation and giving everybody the opportunity.
“Knock on wood, that’s getting better, as well. It has come out a couple times, you’re right, and that’s a work in progress, as well. But he certainly understands the importance of it and is committed to being better at it. That’s two-fold for a quarterback — possessing it when you are carrying it, and then when you throw it, make good decisions and keep it out of harm’s way.”“Day to day to day to day to day. That’s all it is, day by day.
