Northwestern quarterback C.J. Bacher better, but still healing
By Shannon Ryan |Tribune reporter6:51 PM CST, November 4, 2008
Northwestern quarterback C.J. Bacher moved better at practice Tuesday, but he needs every day to become easier if he wants to play Saturday against Ohio State.
After sitting out of practice all last week and Saturday against Minnesota with a hamstring injury, Bacher and backup Mike Kafka took turns taking snaps at practice.
"I can't open up yet," Bacher said. "I'm just trying to prepare myself mentally more than anything else. It's going to need to progress more. It's going to get better."
Coach Pat Fitzgerald has listed Kafka and Bacher as equal on the depth chart.
Bacher was injured Oct. 25 in a 21-19 loss at Indiana and sat out the 24-17 victory at Minnesota, where Kafka led the Wildcats with 217 rushing yards.
Planting his leg is no problem, Bacher said, but he has not healed enough to scramble effectively.
