Update on Wabash QB Matt Hudson: Still questionable
Wabash head coach Erik Raeburn said it likely won’t be determined until later in the week whether or not starting quarterback Matt Hudson will play in Saturday’s showdown against Wittenberg in Crawfordsville, Ind.
Hudson suffered a chest injury in a victory over Washington University on Saturday, Oct. 10.
“As coaches, I think you’ve got to prepare as if they’re not going to to play and then cross your fingers that they’re going to be OK,” Raeburn told the News-Sun on Wednesday afternoon. “He’s still questionable. He’s been at practice, but he really hasn’t done much of anything.”
Hudson suffered the injury in the first quarter Saturday and played the rest of the game. Raeburn said Hudson thought he had gotten the wind knock out of him, but later that night it became apparent it was more serious.
“He’s a veteran guy,” Raeburn said. “With the veteran guys, if they get cleared by the trainers, we let them play. A younger guy who misses practice with some injuries, often times they’re not going to be ready.”
Hudson, a senior, is 2-0 against Wittenberg as a starter. He is the reigning North Coast Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year. He ranks 12th in NCAA Division III this season in pass efficiency with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Wabash’s backup QBs are sophomore Josh Miracle and freshman Chase Belton, of Clayton Northmont High School.
Wittenberg and Wabash enter Saturday’s 1 p.m. game with perfect 5-0 records. Each team is 3-0 in the NCAC.
