Johnny MeEntee is indeed the starting quarterback for the Connecticut team that comes to Mountaineer Field Saturday. He’s one-third of Coach Paul Pasqualoni’s three-player rotation and though McEntee had some low moments early, he’s pulled it together recently. McEntee’s best game was his last game — 300 yards and four touchdowns in the shootout loss to Western Michigan.

McEntee is beginning to look more like a Division I starting quarterback than a trick shot quarterback.

“I think so,” said UConn receiver and dangerous kickoff and punt return specialist Nick Williams. “I’m happy for him that he was able to get through a little bit of a rough patch in the beginning of the season where people were calling for his head a little bit in the media. He was able to settle in and get through the adversity and start playing in a positive fashion. He’s someone we can look to in a big situation or for a big play to lead our team.”
