Neal Brown gives promising Garrett Greene update, talks QB situation vs. Baylor

West Virginia head coach Neal Brown isn’t ready to announce his starting quarterback for this Saturday’s game against the Baylor Bears.

“Garrett practiced today. We’ll see how he does tomorrow when it’s 11-on-11 stuff, but we’ll see how the week goes for him,” Brown said during his press conference on Monday. “We’ll get both quarterbacks ready. I’m not actually going to say anything. He practiced a little last Wednesday, but this was the first time he really practiced. He will practice tomorrow and then we will make some decisions during the week, but we are not going to comment on it.”

Senior Garrett Greene suited up for the Cincinnati game last week but did not play. He missed the last two games due to an upper body injury. An update could be revealed during his coaches show on Thursday, or he could keep it close to the vest to keep Baylor guessing.

In two games as West Virginia’s starter, Marchiol has a 2-0 record with wins over Arizona and Cincinnati. He completed 18 of 22 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns against Arizona and then went 9 of 15 for 156 yards with a touchdown and interception each.

Prior to the injury, Greene had a disappointing start to the season throwing the football, completing only 56% of his passes for 1,352 yards and nine touchdowns to eight interceptions.

West Virginia vs. Baylor kicks off at 4:00 PM EST on ESPN2.
