Virginia Cavaliers Game Notes
Head coach Tony Elliot indicated Monday that Tony Muskett (foot) is considered day-to-day for Thursday’s game against Louisville, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.
Muskett suffered a foot injury during last week’s game against Georgia Tech, which caused him to miss the majority of the game. The senior quarterback was seen wearing a boot and is now in jeopardy of missing his first game since Week 4. Should he miss time, Anthony Colandrea will likely get the starting nod.
Louisville Cardinals Game Notes
Jack Plummer was 11-for-12 passing for 141 yards and one touchdown during Saturday’s 34-3 victory versus Virginia Tech. He also had five rushes for 18 yards. Plummer wasn’t asked to do very much on Saturday as the running game dominated Virginia Tech, but he was extremely efficient when called upon. Plummer missed just one pass and average nearly 12 yards per attempt.
