Feature on the 3 QBs for the Warriors

About how Brent Rausch and Shane Austin performed well when he was out of the USC game with injury, Bryant Mniz said:
"It's one of the things we took pride in, to try to be the best unit in the nation as quarterbacks. They showed that. They both got in there and threw nice passes." (HA)


About how Rausch and he split the reps in yesterday's practice with Moniz being held out, Austin said:
"You just get more experience and more chemistry with the offense, and it helps in the game. It gives us more looks against the scout team, more looks against Army, because they have a little different defense than we're used to, so it's good to get those reps." (HSA)


About how Moniz sat out practice yesterday but will be able to practice today, Mack said:
"Mo stayed out until he had a chance to talk to the doctor, and he's going to get some reps (today). We're just being cautious." (HSA)


Moniz said that his body felt the day after the USC game pretty much how it normally does after a game:
"the regular bumps and bruises."


About how he will practice today, Moniz said:
"I'm going to run around a little bit, throw the ball, get a sweat in." (HSA)


HSA Note: "After Moniz shakily left the field, Rausch -- seeing his first game action since 2008 -- completed his first three passes, and the fourth was a deep ball Rodney Bradley nearly reeled in for a touchdown."


About how he was ready to play when Moniz was hurt, Rausch said:
"Before the game, I figured I'd be a little nervous if it happened, but I was ready to go. I wasn't happy to see him go down, but I was ready to go. It gives me a little more comfort, makes me feel a little better in the pocket getting some experience." (HSA)


Happy but not surprised with how Austin and Rausch played, Mack said:
"I was really happy with the way both of them performed. I wasn't surprised at all. I know they're all on the same page." (HSA)


HSA Note: "The Warriors will practice this morning on campus before embarking on their cross-country trek tonight. They are scheduled to arrive in Newark, N.J., tomorrow around noon Eastern time and will have a light walk-through later in the day."


About how having extra practice time since they played a game 2 days earlier than normal will help make up for the travel time and the 6-hour time zone difference, Mack said:
"It's not a problem; we just have to be mentally tough. We play at 6 in the morning our time, but we practice at 7." (HSA)
