Nebraska quarterbacks compete for backup spot (from Sporting News)
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Patrick Witt and Zac Lee are splitting reps at Nebraska football practice, competing to back up quarterback Joe Ganz.
Offensive coordinator Shawn Watson says Witt -- a redshirt freshman -- is the backup for now, but Lee -- a sophomore -- is being given the chance to compete for the spot.
Watson says both men bring their own strengths to the offense.
He says Witt is still learning the offense, but getting better.
Jaivorio Burkes sat out of practice for the third straight day Wednesday with an undisclosed medical problem, but Watson says the sophomore offensive tackle will be ready to join in soon.
