After being thrust into action due to a injury former Marshall quarterback Bernard Morris was named AFL offensive playmaker of the week on July 20th. Riding that strong perform Morris started under center for the Jacksonville Sharks last Saturday against Bossier-Shreveport. Morris threw for 228 yards and 3 passing touchdowns while adding another on the ground during a 48 – 20 Sharks victory.
Jacksonville starting quarterback Aaron Garcia should be back in action this weekend against Spokane so Morris will return to his slash role of wide receiver, linebacker, and special teams contributor.
Spokane starting QB Kyle Rowley, who Morris backed up last season for the Arkansas Twisters, (AF2) had this to say about the former Marshall signal caller:
“He’s finally getting a chance to prove that he’s a very good quarterback,” Rowley said. “A lot of times when you play behind somebody that’s solidified the starting spot, you have a tendency not to show up with a serious attitude in practice, but he’s not one of those guys. He’s a great athlete.”
