ECU players and coaches expressed their thoughts on losing starting quarterback Kurt Benkert for the season and how to replace him moving forward.
Head coach Ruffin McNeill: “That was tough news we got this morning. I’m disappointed for (Kurt Benkert). You talk about a kid that exemplifies what we look for in this program from on the field to his work ethic. It’s just tough because I love these boys, not just the football part. This is a guy that waited and earned everything he got, he’s earned everything so far.
