Joe Hubener didn’t say anything.
Saturday night, starting sophomore quarterback Jesse Ertz went down on the first offensive drive for the Wildcats as a quarterback at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
Monday morning, it was announced that Ertz was most likely done for the season.
As the 6-foot-5-inch junior strode his way out to replace his fallen comrade, there was no time for elegant “Friday Night Lights” speeches about overcoming adversity or winning this one for Jesse.
“Nope, he was buckled up, chin strap, listening to the play,” freshman center Dalton Risner said when asked if Hubener had words for his team when he took over on Saturday.
