— Alcorn State Coach Fred McNair said Monday he's not sure who will start at quarterback for the Braves against Arkansas.

Redshirt freshman Noah Johnson started the previous two games -- a 45-43 triple-overtime loss to Arkansas-Pine Bluff and a 43-18 loss at Grambling -- due to junior Lenorris Footman's ankle injury.

Footman replaced Johnson in the second quarter at Grambling and played the rest of the game, but wasn't close to full speed.

McNair said Footman was "hopping around out there" against Grambling and that he'll wait to see how he looks in practice this week before deciding on his starter.
