EMU QB Sidelined

YPSILANTI, Mich. --- Justin Souva, the sports editor at the EMU student newspaper, just e-mailed me saying that EMU Coach Genyk announced that starting quarterback Andy Schmitt will not play against Maryland. Schmitt played some last week in the loss against Toledo, but was nursing a shoulder injury. He was listed as day-to-day all week this week. Genyk would not disclose specific details about the injury, but Souva told me that Schmitt was wearing a sling on his left arm. Souva said Schmitt got hurt on the last play of a non-contact practice on Sept. 11. Kyle McMahon will start in Schmitt's place. For much more on the EMU team and this story, check out updates on Souva's blog and in the sports section.
