Quenton Washington Out for UTEP

Quenton Washington won't play this week.
From Adam Adkins - After a rough game against FAMU, senior cornerback Quenton Washington has been shut down for the week and will miss the game against UTEP.

Defensive back coach Rick Smith stated that Washington had been struggling and was in jeopardy of losing his job at least for a few series and now he will miss the week and game.

Washington has been dealing with a knee injury since Vero Beach, nothing major, but something that has been nagging him and has probably been slowing him down quite a bit. By taking the week off and sitting out the game, he should near full strength for the Big East season opener next week at Pitt.

Junior George Baker has been playing well and will probably get the start against UTEP. Sophomore JaQuez Jenkins, who returned from missing the last week with a hamstring issue, will help add depth and could get plenty of playing time as well as a reserve or in nickel package.
