Rettig day-to-day with ankle injury
Boston College starting quarterback Chase Rettig has been listed as day-to-day following an ankle injury he suffered in the second quarter of a loss to Notre Dame over the weekend. The youngster was forced out of the game after he was tackled in the pocket.
Rettig was disappointed to get pulled out of his first collegiate start, saying. “I’m pretty sure I was leaving the pocket and I did a spin move back and I think a defender that was trailing me just slid into my ankle. It’s tough to get in the game and have
things start flowing and then you get pulled out. That’s disappointing and hard to swallow.”
Rettig missed the team’s practice on Sunday, with head coach Frank Spaziani telling the media that the freshman would be re-evaluated at some point this week. However, the Boston Globe has reported that the youngster’s injury may be more serious than first
imagine and he could be out for several weeks.
Rettig was given the starting job this week after the team struggled to find their game on offence throughout the first three weeks of the season. The California native looked to be off to strong start, tossing for 72 yards and one touchdown in a shortened
outing.
Rettig was replaced by Mike Marscovetra, who set career highs in completed passes with 22 and passing yards with 193. However, the sophomore also threw two interceptions on the day. This season Marscovetra has only thrown for 285 yards and one touchdown,
while tossing three interceptions.
Prior to Rettig’s takeover of the starters job, Marscovetra was splitting time with 26-year-old sophomore Dave Shinskie. Shinskie also struggled on offence, throwing four interceptions in his three starts.
Boston College currently sits at 2-2, with a 0-1 record against ACC opponents.
