CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Virginia starting quarterback Chandler Morris suffered a helmet-to-helmet hit early in the third quarter of the Cavaliers’ season-opener against Coastal Carolina.
Morris, the North Texas transfer and son of former Arkansas and SMU coach Chad Morris, broke free on a run and opted against sliding, instead juking a defender and getting to the Coastal 2. That’s where he collided with Chanticleers’ cornerback Myles Mooyoung. Morris stayed down for a few minutes, before being helped to the sideline, where he entered the UVA medical tent.
A few minutes after that, Virginia staffers escorted Morris toward the team’s locker room. The exact nature of Morris’ injury is not known. Morris returned to the sidelines in the fourth quarter, his left shoulder wrapped heavily with ice.
Nebraska transfer Daniel Kaelin, who had never thrown a college pass, entered the game for Morris. The Cavaliers don’t have an experienced backup. Only short-yardage specialist Grady Brosterhous has a collegiate pass on his resume.
