No QB controversy at San Jose State

There is no quarterback controversy at San Jose State (1-2). That was the message from Spartan head coach Ron Caragher gave at his Monday press conference following a 34-14 loss to Utah.

San Jose State’s offensive line gave up 10 sacks vs. the Utes while starting quarterback Kenny Potter was knocked out of the game with a knee injury. Potter was replaced by Josh Love, a freshman who went 11-for-21 for 184 yards and a touchdown (with an interception) in the loss.

Any controversy heading into a road trip to Ames?

Nope.

“Kenny Potter is our quarterback,” Caragher told the San Jose Mercury News. “He’s proven over the course of a year he can make a lot of things happen with his legs and with his arm.”

Potter completed 67 percent of his passes (182-for-270) last season while throwing 15 touchdowns compared to seven interceptions. He’s 40-for-55 (60.6 percent) with five touchdowns and two interceptions so far this year.

Chris Williams

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
