OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Week 5 Heavner is expected to start in Saturday's game against Bowling Green, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Heavner was likely to start Week 5 because of injuries to David McComb (upper body/lower body), who looks like he will be out against Bowling Green. If the former excels, he may land a regular starting role moving forward, as McComb's availability for the season is in question. The question is whether or not Heavner can step up. He has the potential to throw and run well, as indicated by his 77.8 completion percentage and 5.1 yards averaged per rushing attempt, but his early 0-1 TD-INT ratio does not spark immediate confidence in his overall ability going into conference MACtion.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be out, season status unclear McComb (upper body/lower body) is not expected to play in Saturday's game against Bowling Green, and his status for the remainder of the season is unclear due to his multiple injur...

Impact Considering that McComb was doubtful for Week 5, him not playing against Bowling Green would be completely unsurprising. But because of injuries to both his upper and lower body, a quick return may not be in the cards for the freshman quarterback. In his place, Caleb Heavner is expected to start, and if and when the former can return this season will be put into question moving forward.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to start Week 5 Heavner is likely to Saturday's game against Bowling Green, Steve Helwick of SB Nation reports.

Impact David McComb (upper body/lower body) is doubtful for Week 5, which is why Heavner (McComb's backup) projects to start Saturday. So far, the latter has completed 77.8 percent of nine passes and logged seven rushing attempts for 36 yards, reasonable numbers for a backup of his caliber. However, Heavner has not scored any touchdowns, and one of his two incompletions resulted in an interception, meaning he has more turnovers than TDs. But by playing Bowling Green at home, Heaver can take advantage of facing a winless BGSU team and pose an adequate challenge for McComb's starting role.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Week 5 McComb (upper body/lower body) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Bowling Green, Steve Helwick of SB Nation reports.

Impact McComb has more than just one injury, as he is dealing with issues in both his upper and lower body, resulting in his doubtful status.
