About hearing QB coach Nick Rolovich call his name while the first team offense was practicing, Cayman Shutter said:
"Is that my name? Are they really calling my name?" (HA)
About running towards the huddle when he realized he'd get to play with the first team offense, Shutter said:
"I was running out there (while) trying to get my shoulder pads up. I was a little bit flustered going in there. I didn't expect it. But once you wind up, it's football." (HA)
About how he hadn't had time to prepare but had to do his best, Shutter said:
"I hadn't thrown a pass since early on in the day. If you're going to play quarterback, you've got to be ready to go in at any time." (HA)
HA Note: "Shutter completed both of his passes — to slotback Kealoha Pilares on a double-out route, and to slotback Jon Medeiros on a sail pattern."
About catching Shutter's first pass, Pilares said:
"It was a little bit high, but I made the catch. And he thanked me for it. I was kind of surprised. He came into the locker room (after practice). I was butt naked. He said, 'Thank you for catching my pass.' " (HA)
Praising Shutter, Jon Medeiros said:
"He's young, and he's learning the system, but he's coming along. He had good, accurate throws. He understands the coverage pretty well. He has a good release." (HA)
HA Note: "Rolovich acknowledged that Shutter is the "emergency-emergency" quarterback. Rolovich said the Warriors had finished their script of plays with Moniz and Austin."
About how they wanted to test Shutter in the practice, Rolo said:
"We wanted to see where (Shutter) is with the offense. We wanted to see how he would react." (HA)
About how he would give up his redshirt year if the team needs him, Shutter said:
"Of course. It's whatever the team needs. If they need me to go in there and step up, I'd definitely do that." (HA)
About how his ankle is fine, DT Vaughn Meatoga (he played just 5 plays in the Louisiana Tech game) said:
"I'm officially back." (HA)
Praising freshman Mike Wadsworth, who was 2nd team strong safety in nickel coverage yesterday and blocked two kicks, Chris Tormey (who coaches safeties and special teams) said:
"He's been one of our most consistent special-team guys all year. He's just a good football player. He's not afraid. The more he plays, the more confidence he gets, the more productive he is." (HA)
