Jake Strong to return as McNeese starting quarterback

McNeese head coach Matt Viator announced that redshirt sophomore quarterback Devin Lippold will miss this Saturday’s game against East Texas A&M due to a right wrist injury.

As a result, Jake Strong will return to the starting position. Strong, who missed three games earlier in the season with a shoulder injury, recently returned to action during the Cowboys' 31-14 loss to UTRGV. While Lippold started the previous game, he was forced out with a hand injury, allowing Strong to finish the contest.

Viator stated that Strong is healthy and faces “no limitations” heading into the upcoming matchup. The Cowboys currently hold a 1-3 record following their recent loss, where the team struggled with execution and defensive rushing yards.
