UConn QB out 6-8 weeks
Connecticut coach Randy Edsall says quarterback Tyler Lorenzen is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery over the weekend on his broken right foot.
The No. 24 Huskies lost both Lorenzen and starting tight end Steve Brouse in Friday night’s 26-21 win at Louisville. Edsall says Brouse also will miss up to eight weeks after undergoing surgery on his broken right leg.
Sophomore Zach Frazer replaced Lorenzen and went 8 of 15 for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Edsall says Frazer will start for UConn (5-0) when the Huskies visit North Carolina Saturday night.
Meanwhile, Washington will also be without its starting quarterback as Jake Locker will be out for up to eight weeks after breaking his right thumb Saturday while throwing a block against Stanford. It’s a damaging blow for a team looking at a possible 0-5 start for the first time in 39 years.
